Requests:  0 Summary:  "All too frequently, leadership is reduced to a simple dichotomy: the strong versus the weak. Yet, there are myriad ways to exercise effective political leadership -- as well as different ways to fail. We blame our leaders for economic downfalls and praise them for vital social reforms, but rarely do we question what makes some leaders successful while others falter. In this magisterial and wide-ranging survey of political leadership over the past hundred years, renowned Oxford politics professor Archie Brown challenges the widespread belief that strong leaders meaning those who dominate their colleagues and the policy-making process are the most successful and admirable."--book jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.3409 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.3409 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 303.3409 Br Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.3409 Brown Checked In Add Copy to MyList
