Are Leaders Born or Are They Made? Reviews

'Machiavelli and Clausewitz wrote their own theses on leadership. Now Kets de Vries and Engellau have written Alexander the Great's for him - sympathetically, astutely and with great learning to be had for all in leadership positions. I strongly recommend it.'Anton Obholzer, Psychoanalyst and Consultant Psychiatrist
