Featured Work
Leadership Reckoning: Can Higher Education Develop the Leaders We Need?
Since its inception, higher education in the U.S. has claimed to develop leaders. But is this claim justified? Leadership Reckoning, with a foreword by Jim Collins, takes to task American colleges and universities for their haphazard, incoherent, evidence-free approaches to developing students as leaders and offers a principle-driven, outcome-oriented blueprint for how effective leader development can occur. It’s high time that happens, and Leadership Reckoning points the way.
