Leadership Without Easy Answers
by Ronald A. Heifetz
If you read just one book on Leadership, this is it. As the title indicates, you won't find quick fixes or easy answers here, just a way of framing the concept and practice of leadership in a way that's ethical and consistent with the worth and dignity of every member of an organization.
His ideas are practical, nevertheless, just not simplistic -- which means that they're far more likely to be effective.
A Harvard professor (John F. Kennedy School of Government), Heifeitz looks at issues of authority, values and change, using leaders like Martin Luther King, jr., and Mahatma Gandhi to illustrate his points.
Heifetz is also a musician, and his metaphors and analogies from that field enrich the presentation.
