Reviews

Praise for Leadership Perspectives from the Front Line "This by far the most comprehensive book on leadership I have ever come across. With over 80 contributors, the book provides fresh, evidence-based perspectives on leadership from every single angle. The leadership stories from some of the country's top leaders are inspiring and insightful. The book is a must-read for every executive, leader in the making and the entire leadership development fraternity." Pearl Maphoshe, HR Director - Pick 'n Pay "This is truly a standout book that packs a real punch in the sea of books on leadership. This has to be the most updated, and most comprehensive and definitive compendium on leaders and leadership, written by an impressive array of prominent and respected experts in the field." Prof. Shirley Zinn, HR Director - Woolworths "This book provides many nuggets of wisdom from recognised leaders in business. Their stories, visions and practical actions will inspire!" Johan Burger, CEO - First Rand "The seminal guide to the kind of transformational leadership required in the 21st century and beyond." S'ne Mkhize, Senior Vice President HR - Sasol "Given the plethora of books on Leadership, one is tempted to think: What else can be written about leadership? This masterful creation crushes that thought and is a call to choose to be a different and better leader, to stand up and... lead. Leon Steyn, Group HR Executive - Bidvest "This is a major work, and much needed." Dr. Yury Boshyk, Chairman - Global Executive Learning. Formerly Professor - IMD Switzerland "This book is rooted in the challenges facing leaders today, and offers current and future leaders a perspective to help them lead in a VUCA world." Paul Norman, Group HR and Corporate Affairs Officer - MTN Group "In drawing on, and synthesizing robust scholarly works, diverse and critical leadership commentators, and rich insights from front-line leaders in action, this book sets itself apart and indeed makes a valuable contribution in a highly contested space of leadership gurus. It's definitely a must-read for anyone who seek to grow in their own leadership practice." Prof Edward Kieswetter, President - Da Vinci Institute of Technology Management. Former Group CE - Alexander Forbes. "Leadership: Perspectives from the Front Line provides an authoritative perspective on What leadership is, what makes a great leader and how leaders develop. This includes robust theoretical models to enhance our understanding of leadership in the real world. It is a useful resource for both academics and practitioners." Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, CEO - Hogan Assessment (US) Leadership: Perspectives from the Front Line is that rare mix of being a treasure house of up-to-date knowledge about every aspect of leadership and at the same time being full of insights and suggestions for practical implementation. It is both thought-provoking and enlightening, and a must-read for anyone trying to understand the complex issues surrounding leadership. This is one of the best books on the topic of leadership I have been privileged to read. Italia Boninelli, HR Strategist, Executive Coach and Author (recent past Executive Vice-president: People and Organizational Development, AngloGold Ashanti) Leadership: Perspectives from the Front Line is a feast for scholars, students and practitioners alike who will find a comprehensive reference book on leadership theories, a diversity of the schools of thought that have influenced and continue to shape the evolution of the leadership as fully fledged discipline that is applied to complex and changing contexts. As someone trying to master the leadership discipline and as aspirant leadership expert myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how much there is still to know and learn about this enthralling subject called leadership. Dudu Msomi, CEO - Busara Leadership Partners
