Rezensionen

"A year had passed since our last strategy+business review ofleadership book and CEO memoirs, so a trip to Borders was in orderto see what was new in those categories. We discovered almost allthe books in the management section had been published within thelast calendar year (apparently most business books have a shortshelf life). However, there was a notable exception: Leadership forDummies (John Wiley & Sons, 1999), by Marshall Loeb and StephenKindel, was well stocked and in the same prominent place on theshelf as a year ago...and was now in its second printing. Perhapsthe parlous state of America s corporate governance explains whyDummies has found such traction." (Strategy+Business, FourthQuarter 2002)
