"Despite the extensive body of knowledge associated with leader and leadership development, significant gaps still exist in our understanding of these processes. This book is a noteworthy effort to help fill in the blanks through empirical research and contextual application. It is worthy of perusal by anyone interested in becoming a more effective leader or leader developer."
Bernard Banks, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Leadership Development, Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management
