‘Sadly, books at the airport about leadership can lapse into bromides and happy talk – unsubstantiated pearls of wisdom without linking them to the real world. In contrast, this volume depends on anchoring its analysis in actual events and provides background information as context for what individual leaders will have done or said. This decision to draw from documented incidents happily contributes to the reliability of its conclusions.’
