In this interesting and clearly written book, the university-based authors carefully conduct the reader through the labyrinth of theory and research on leadership. Much of the historical and current literature is reviewed, from Machiavelli to guidance of quality circles. . . The authors develop the argument that leadership research would benefit if culture--at both the national and organizational levels--were more tightly integrated into leadership theory. . . Graduate students and their teachers in organizational sociology, psychology, and management will find this a useful book." --Choice "A valuable resource not only for academic researchers but for practicing managers and professionals involved in international management and cross-cultural activities. Overall, the authors have produced a stimulating book that examines leadership and leadership research from a multidimensional approach. Their implications are critical for continued leadership research, particularly issues such as leadership training and the management of culturally diverse organizations." --Journal of Organizational Behavior "There is much to admire in this book. It is comprehensive and yet concise. . . . The literature review section contains good summaries and critiques of both original work and secondary studies which are easily digestible to non-psychologists. The material is well organized, with regular summaries of the argument and there is even the odd flash of humour.
