Product Description

Review

The Psychology of Leadership and Liberation is thoroughly engaging, with conceptual and methodological issues well integrated. Many authors speak of the primacy of the person in the work place and of developing future leaders but Sean Ruth acknowledges the  strengths and the difficulties, opens up learning and inspires the reader. The book is profound but should be fully accessible to the reader. The introduction to each chapter and the summary at the end will allow the reader to remain focused and will assist the person, who reads sporadically, to maintain the sequence.

Dr Concepta Conaty, The Department of Education and Science, Dublin



"Leadership and Liberation is thoroughly engaging, with conceptual and methodological issues well integrated. Many authors speak of the primacy of the person in the work place and of developing future leaders but Sean Ruth acknowledges the  strengths and the difficulties, opens up learning and inspires the reader. The book is profound but should be fully accessible to the reader." - Dr Concepta Conaty, The Department of Education and Science, Dublin

"[Ruth] strays close to the recently articulated notion of the psychological contract and stretces the leadership and its HR dimension s into new territory. Ruth's book is divided into three sections: the content of leadership, the leadership context and finally strategies and skill. It is a provoking well-written read and its main theme as well as the sections on conflict resolution will be of particular interest to IR and HR practitioners" - Tim Hastings, in Labour Relations Commission Review, Eire, Summer 2006.

"This is a groundbreaking text and will provide inspiration for leaders and aspiring leaders alike. ... The writing of this book is itself an act of leadership on the part of the author. Leaders reading this book will gain insight and clarity regarding their role, and find support and wisdom for the task ahead.  They will be introduced to new and challenging ideas. They will also have an opportunity to bring these ideas into dialogue with their own experience as the author presents questions for reflection at the end of each chapter. These questions should also prove an invaluable aid to those who might wish to read the book in a study group context. Leadership teams, in my view, would benefit greatly from reading the book in this way. ... I recommend this text to all who wish to learn more about and to reflect on their own experience of leadership." - Kevin Egan, Head of Dept. of Behavioural Studies, All Hallows College, Dublin, in Religious Life Review, July 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine book, 15 Aug 2008


This is an impressive book. It gives a simple but powerful model of leadership that is highly collaborative and person-centred. At the same time, it puts this model in the context of people's everyday experience of oppression and looks at the role of leadership in assisting people to achieve liberation. It is very unusual for books of this kind to include the social context in which leadership operates. The book also includes chapters on conflict resolution and, uniquely, on examining the ways in which those in leadership roles get attacked and isolated. I found it thought-provoking, very practical and very inspiring.

1.0 out of 5 stars Leadership and Liberation, A Psychological Approach, 5 Feb 2008
The Book has a rather narrow focus. There is not a clear understanding of
the Multiplicity of Leadership theory. The book may be of benefit for those in mental health settings but not for those working in areas of Management especially industry. A very poor book
