"Despite the millions of words written and spoken about leadership, still we see chronic problems with the ways in which organizations, firms and nations are led. Paul Evans' book provides a welcome critique of the simplicity and inadequacy of so much of the leadership canon while also offering wise practical guidance. An indispensable introduction to a topic of enduring importance."
