Recensione:

"I found this book to be a very satisfying intellectual and personal experience. While there are lots of books out there about leadership, there is limited in-depth treatment of the ethical dimensions of leadership. I will recommend it to others." 

(Sara A. Boatman)

"The book succeeds on many levels in providing a values orientation to the topic of leadership. The light and shadow metaphor works especially well. I’m also impressed with the rich use of very contemporary examples. I plan to use the book in my introductory leadership class." 

(Roger Smitter)
