Review title: Dr. Ed Piccolino writes:
Product review: Lepsinger & Yukl have written a highly readable book that very effectively integrates the most recent and important research findings about effective leadership practices and competencies. The book provides a very useful, pragmatic framework for executives (and consultants who assess and coach leaders) -- it really offers a roadmap for balancing competing demands and trade-offs that are critical to success, and very effectively makes the point that one needs to consider processes and supporting systems -- in addition to behavioral skills, to ensure success. I especially like the way the authors emphasize what can and can't be learned about leadership, and how they resolve the historical debate about the relative importance of leadership vs. managership -- arguing effectively that "leaders need to be good managers, and managers need to be good leaders."
