Zusatztext "Genovese (Loyola Marymount Univ.) has written a relevant, succinct, and well-documented monograph on the subject of leadership: what it is, how it works, and how complex and multidimensional it is. Undergraduate students of business and management would benefit from this book, especially if it served as an adjunct resource to a traditional leadership textbook. Summing Up: Recommended."—M.J. Safferstone, University of Mary Washington, in CHOICE, July 2014"Michael Genovese is among the more thoughtful and accomplished of our social scientists. No surprise, then, that this latest in his long line of books, Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today, is as grounded in the classics as in the contemporaneous context. The book has the advantage of being short and to the point—while providing a careful and considered framework for what leadership development in the second decade of the 21st century might look like." —Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University, USA"Michael Genovese is a terrific scholar, teacher, and storyteller on the realities of what it takes to be an effective leader. This is a superbly written, fascinating page-turner of a leadership primer—provocative and compelling!"—Thomas E.
