4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Leaders & Managers Looking for New Skills, 2 May 1998
By A Customer
Like "Leadership is an Art" this book looks at innovative ways to communicate with workers and to add new ideas to the workplace. "Leadership Jazz" is based on using the skills of the Jazz Musician to get new thoughts and motivations across to your workers. These skills include; improvisation, innovation, freedom, and inspiration. A great book, I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leadership Jazz: Moral Leadership, 29 Nov 1997
By A Customer
In the book "Leadership Jazz" by Max Du Pree he mentions the following statement "...one way to think about leadership is to consider a jazz band. Jazz-band leaders must choose the music, find the right musicians, and perform-in public. But the effect of the performance depends on so many things- the environment, the volunteers in the band, the need to everybody to perform as individuals and as a group, the absolute dependence of the leader on the members of the band, the need of the leader for the followers to play well." Du Pree, with this approach, starts to tell us his confession about leadership. In opposite from "The Leadership Challenge" by Kouzes & Posner that uses a scientific approach, "Leadership Jazz" uses personal experiences to define leadership. Moreover, Du Pree drives us into a profound essence of to be a leader.

In order to emphasize the importance of the word leadership, Du Pree uses certain terms or ideas that can be learned in to be an effective leader. At first,

1.0 out of 5 stars In the words of my students, "Pure garbage!", 7 May 1999
By A Customer
This book is an insult to females everywhere! Depree uses this awful analogy that leaders are female and they should touch, feel, love, and harmonize with everything. It's also nothing more than political correct trash. I am a college professor, (marketing and management,) and I was forced to read this and teach it to my students. Every last one of them and myself agreed --- this book is terrible!

1.0 out of 5 stars Leadership ?
This is a very poorly written book. The author terms without defining them, leaving the reader wondering what it is he is talking about. His writing is cliche-ridden. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A riveting book for leaders!!
I am absolutely disgusted by the college professor that made the comment about this book--noting that leaders are made to be like females. Read more
