This illuminating study critiques the concept of leadership as
understood in the last 75 years and looks to the twenty-first
century for a reconstructed understanding of leadership in the
postindustrial era. More similarities in past decades were found
than had been thought; the thread throughout Rost's book is that
leadership was conceived of as good management. He develops a new
definition and paradigm for leadership in this volume that
distinguishes leadership from management in fundamental ways. The
ethics of leadership from a postindustrial perspective completes
the paradigm. The book concludes with suggestions that can be
immediately utilized in helping to transform our understanding of
leadership.
