Change: the cornerstone of leadership.

What is leadership? Who are the leaders? When and where do they lead? In answering these questions, the author explores human behavior. He explains why one person becomes a leader while another does not; why one leader is effective while another is less so. The author remarks at the start that he found it a challenge to write about something most persons intuitively understand. He thought that perhaps many might regard a discussion of leadership as unrevealing, for the subject is thought to speak for itself. Interesting, however, is that his many perceptions and observations on what is believed to be an everyday issue are far from common and everyday.
