This book stresses the human side of leadership as the central feature regarding credibility in the public forums where leadership is really tested. As such, leadership is an art because it involves performance as a form of public theater. No other text on this topic demonstrates so ably how the field has been lopsidedly dominated by science to the detriment of art.

Key Features: o Presentation of the idea that leadership is an art, the practice of leadership is not a science but an applied art o Content material is connected to self-discovery and learning how to be critically reflective via journal writing o Connection to films as an excellent method to learn about leading in context.
