About the Author:
Review:
James MacGregor Burns, political scientist and author, is a senior scholar at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond and professor emeritus at Williams College. He is the author of numerous books on leadership, including Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1978 and the National Book Award.
"This slender volume, stuffed with anecdote and analysis, is more than a study of leadership. It is also a call to arms--for a radically different sort of conflict from the ones engaged in by the great figures of history. Burns has in mind a great conflict involving great values."

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003407840
