Reviews:

• Though Joseph Rost is a name that may not be familiar to many doing leadership research or training, this book deserves the attention of leadership scholars. He has confronted the field of leadership studies with an unflinching and constructively critical assessment. His intent is to transform the ways in which we understand and practice leadership as we prepare for the challenges of the twenty-first century.
  —The Leadership Quarterly
• What a pleasure to report on a new book in leadership studies--a term, not incidentally, with which the author has some considerable problems--that is simultaneously intelligent and provocative. Leadership for the Twenty-First Century is testimony both to Rost's breadth of knowledge and to his iconoclasm.
