Description
"Having served on numerous corporate and nonprofit boards, former business school dean and university president White has a surprising message: many directors don't understand their roles as stewards. Rather than seeing boards as mere vehicles for oversight and basic monitoring, he shows, in detail and with hundreds of real-world anecdotes, how boards can do better."--

Description
"The Nature of Leadership looks at the universal qualities of great contemporary leaders as well as those historical figures - such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - whose leadership brilliance still resonates. It cites modern organizational leaders ranging from IBM's tough Lou Gestner to the mammalian Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines."--Jacket.
