This book provides a psychological study of leadership, offering a better understanding of the problems that surround the development of leadership and insights into how best to nurture and sustain it effectively. The book uses, as examples, leaders ranging from Einstein to Thatcher.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Will Make You A Better Leader, 24 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Minds: An Anatomy of Leadership (Paperback)

This is the first book that I read by Howard Gardner, and I now find myself reading all of his books. Before reading this book, I had noticed that the most effective people I know are good story tellers who live their lives in a way that is consistent with their stories. But I had failed to appreciate that this is the core of effective leadership. As you can imagine, I began polishing up my story-telling and story-living skills. This has made an enormous difference in how I am able to connect with others and draw enjoyment from being with people. One example is that I have changed the way I write, and I find that the messages are much better understood now than before. Whether your interest is in politics, your local charity, your work, or your own family, you will get enough insights from this book to keep you excited as you improve your life for years to come. I also like the way that Professor Gardner made it clear what future research needs to be done, so that we can learn even more. I hope that someone reading this review will decide to take up some of this needed research. A good book to read after this one is CREATING MINDS. I also find the UNSCHOOLED MIND to be very valuable, and we cite it in our book about how to overcome stalled thinking.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new, cognitive framework outlines effective leadership., 17 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Minds: An Anatomy of Leadership (Paperback)

Leading Minds is an enjoyable, thought provoking book for those interested in leadership. The life stories of selected leaders of the 20th century provide background and insight to the question of effectiveness and success in leadership roles. Reading other books by Gardner, such as the Unschooled Mind and Creating Minds will provide the reader a better understanding of Gardner's analysis of leadership. In his final summary, the connection of 'lessons from the past, implications for the future' is very instructive for people in current leadership positions.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book on leadership I have read., 19 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Minds: An Anatomy of Leadership (Paperback)

Gardner finally does something with leadership that's unique--he tells us what we don't know about it rather than just putting what we know in different words. I teach management in a graduate program in public administration, and I also serve as an elected official in a university town in the midwest. Gardner knows what he is talking about. The concept of leadership as storytelling is compelling. And after reading about the "unschooled mind," I read his focusing on that subject. It wasn't worth it. There is plenty in Leading Minds. I love the chapter long biographies as well. He does a masterful job.
