Philosophical Foundations of Leadership David Cawthon ISBN 0-7658-0125-6 114 pages $29.95 Transaction Books 1-732-445-1245 http://www.transactionpub.com/ We have read roughly 40 books on leadership, as well as many articles. This book is far and away the best book we have found on the philosophical underpinnings of leadership. The author examines beliefs about the nature of leadership from the time of the Greeks on, and pulls from these philosophical sources that which is relevant in today’s society. It daringly addresses the myth that we can all be leaders (we cannot), and that all people are equal (we are not) If you are a student of leadership and wish to have an ÆGIS, January 2003 9 understanding of leadership and the western philosophical underpinnings of leadership this book is as clear and concise foundation as has you are likely to find.
