About this title: Leadership is always necessary in any endeavor, applying equally to politics, business, society, and culture. Yet the perception of effective leadership has changed in our era. The older model of a heroic, authoritarian leader-picture the hardcharging, demanding CEO or even General George C. Patton-is part of modern American folklore folklore. The new conventional wisdom, though, tells us that this model has given way to the "soft" leader ideal, where leaders inspire their followers and avoid acting like dictators. Joseph Nye's The Powers to Lead, an innovative general introduction to ...

"Interesting & informative though somewhat drawn-out & long-winded (or maybe I just feel like that because we've spent most of the semester discussing it...) Good concepts though - and well explained in plain language. Learned a lot."
"It was enjoyable to read about practical explanations to leadership styles that are successful. The only problem is that it felt repetitive after a while. Also, it may not necessarily be the author's fault, but I feel like I have already read a lot of the points he made before in other books. Otherwise, it was an easy and intriguing read."
"Quality leadership book. Somewhat short, but meaty. Delves into transactional versus transformational powers, soft and hard power. This gives a lot of examples of leaders in history. There is also discussion of types of followers and what you can expect.
