Leadership in Organizations Reviews

Storey and his collaborators have performed a valuable service by providing us with a more practical route through what often seems like an almost impenetrable forest of leadership scholarship and debates.' - The Journal of Industrial Relations

'A useful, well-written, well-edited and thought-provoking book.' - Human Resource Management Journal
