Book Reviews of Leadership Agility: Five Levels of Mastery for Anticipating and Initiating Change (J-B US non-Franchise Leadership)
Book Review: I Wanted To Like This Book
Summary: 2 Stars
As a psychologist and leadership consultant with a constructive-developmentalist perspective I was excited to learn about this book. I was even more excited when reading the reviews here.
Thus, I didn't wait for LEADERSHIP AGILITY to come out in paperback...
Alas, I just couldn't finish the book. Part of it is style: I tire easily of illustrative stories about "Bob" and "Susan." Also, any clarity that was generated got lost in later, unnecessary complications.
So... I wanted to like this book. I was thrilled someone was tackling leadership with a "stage" theory.
And... I was disappointed.
If you are interested in this book: (a) wait for the paperback, (b) get a secondhand copy or, best, (c) visit your local library.
If you are genuinely interested in this subject matter and willing to do a little brain work, you can't go wrong with Robert Kegan's THE EVOLVING SELF and IN OVER OUR HEADS. These books are the classics.
Dr. Kirtland C Peterson
