The Drama of Leadership

Based on the author's eight-year intimate study of 15 living, breathing, CEOs over the 15-year life-span of a global financial corporation, this compelling book offers a rich ethnographic examination of top management dynamics. In current management thinking, organizations are perceived as being divided between managers and leaders. Pitcher shows this division to be false and presents a much more realistic way to understand the different roles and personalities of an enterprise. She demonstrates why the technocrats who run 80% of our corporations are the worst possible leaders and provides suggestions on what can be done about this.
