Reviews
"A year had passed since our last strategy+business review of leadership book and CEO memoirs, so a trip to Borders was in order to see what was new in those categories. We discovered almost all the books in the management section had been published within the last calendar year (apparently most business books have a short shelf life). However, there was a notable exception: Leadership for Dummies (John Wiley & Sons, 1999), by Marshall Loeb and Stephen Kindel, was well stocked and in the same prominent place on the shelf as a year ago...and was now in its second printing. Perhaps the parlous state of America s corporate governance explains why Dummies has found such traction." (Strategy+Business, Fourth Quarter 2002)
