"Warren Bennis's insight and his gift with words make these lessons, from some of America's most interesting leaders, compelling reading for every executive."--Charles Handy

"Warren Bennis's pioneering work is so central in the field of leadership studies that many of us forget that he was the source of numerous foundational ideas."--Howard Gardner

Bennis, author of the popular Leaders: The Strategies of Taking Charge (LJ 4/1/85) and also co-author of The Unreality Industry , reviewed in this issue, p. 00.-- Ed. , has interviewed hundreds of leaders over time, and he uses 30 of them to illustrate his points. He does this by quoting them, as appropriate, in the various chapters of the book--``Understand The Basics,'' ``Operating on Instinct,'' ``Knowing Yourself,'' etc. He still sees vision as an essential ingredient for leadership, but in this work stresses how to find the vision. ``The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely--all your skills, gifts, and energies--in order to make your vision manifest.'' Recommended for all business collections.-- Michael D. Kathman, St. John's Univ., Collegeville, Minn.
