Description

In 1978, Pulitzer Prize - and National Book Award-winning scientist James MacGregor Burns published Leadership. The book became the cornerstone of the emerging field of leadership studies and hundreds of leadership programs in business and government. Now Burns expands the subject, offering a new vision - Transforming Leadership - focusing on the ways that leaders emerge from being ordinary transactional deal-makers to become dynamic agents of major social change who empower their followers. Burns illustrates the evolution of leadership structures, from the chieftains of tribal African societies, through Europe's absolute monarchies, to the blossoming of liberty and democracy during the American Revolution. The book culminates in a bold and innovative plan to address the greatest global leadership challenge of the twenty-first century: the long-intractable problem of global poverty.Engagingly written, original, and provocative, Transforming Leadership will arouse discussion and controversy in classrooms and boardrooms everywhere.
