Enlightening, encouraging, and filled with incredible anecdotes from the author's own experience, "The Nature of Leadership" explores these characteristics, with examples of leaders ranging from tough-minded Lou Gerstner at IBM to mammalian leaders like Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines and Wendy Kopp, founder of Teach for America.
