This book details characteristics and behaviors manifested by effective leaders and discussion of how their behavior was informed by leadership theory. Robert Palestini describes the leadership practice of professional baseball coaches as a way to illustrate situational leadership theory, offering the reader examples of leadership behavior in the four leadership frames suggested by Bolman and Deal's situational leadership theory. This book demonstrates how someone can become a very effective leader in both his personal and professional life.

Robert Palestini is graduate dean emeritus and professor of education at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and founding executive director of the Educational Leadership Institute and Center for Catholic Urban Education at Saint Joseph's University. He has spent almost fifty years in various leadership positions and has written more than ten books on various aspects of leadership.

Palestini has been my colleague at Saint Joseph's University for over twenty years, and I can attest to the validity of the leadership strategies he espouses in this latest book profiling the effective leadeship behavior of ten outstanding professional baseball managers. Having served as manager of an American Legion team and having personal relationships with such baseball luminaries as Bill Giles, part owner and chairman of the Philadelphia Phillies, and Jerry Hunsicker, vice president of the Tampa Bay Rays and former general manager of the Houston Astros, I have observed firsthand how the leadership theories in Palestini's book can be placed into effective practice. The leadership strategies that he suggests will be of value to leaders and aspiring leaders in all walks of life.
