Summary

This book outlines what lust is: how, where, and when it is manifested in leaders particularly, and what lessons can be learned by leaders and followers alike.

Additional text

'Is a never-ending desire for gratification a neglected leadership trait? Is lust a critical factor in explaining exceptional leadership? Making this provocative argument through a series of gripping biographical sketches, this book offers a host of refreshingly iconoclastic and original insights for scholars and practitioners alike.' Christopher Pietroni, Professor of Leadership Practice, University of Birmingham
