"Professionalizing Leadership is an indictment of the leadership
industry. But it goes far further: it presents an alternative
scenario, one in which leadership is not, merely, an occupation,
but a profession, like medicine and law. Kellerman extracts from
the military some lessons on how leaders can and should be
educated, trained, and developed. In so doing, she provides us with
an indispensable guide to rethinking and reconstituting
leadership
learning at a moment when the crisis of leadership is blindingly
clear." - Admiral James Stavridis, USN
"Barbara Kellerman challenges us with an original and readable
parable on the modern leadership industry that evokes 'The
Emperor's New Clothes.' Her acute historical and theoretical
analysis enable her also to provide a practical, inspiring vision
of leadership as a profession. If you are disappointed in leaders,
or wondering why the wave of money spent on leadership development
is producing disappointing outcomes, and want to act rather than
fret, then read
this provocative book." - Ian Narev, CEO, Commonwealth Bank of
Australia
"Barbara Kellerman is the professor's professor. She is not just
working in the field of leadership; she is working on it. Anyone
interested in the subject of Leadership will be richly rewarded for
reading her thoughtful and provocative challenge to an entire
profession!" - Robert Kegan, Meehan Research Professor of Adult
Learning, Harvard University; co-author of An Everyone Culture:
Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization
"Kellerman's work is exceptional and presents the manner in which
the development of transforming leadership is thoughtful and
valued."--T. M. Mckenzie, Gonzaga University, CHOICE
