'As the author of a new book, Professionalizing Leadership, in
which I take on the leadership industry, specifically the often
careless and casual way in which we profess to teach how to lead,
it gives me particular pleasure to highly recommend Teaching
Leadership by Perruci and Hall. Though it's possible to take issue
with some specifics, to anyone with any interest in leadership as
pedagogical practice, especially but not exclusively at the
undergraduate level, I say this book is not to be missed.' -
Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University, US and author of, among
others, The End of Leadership, Followership, and Bad Leadership
'This book is a must read for educators and students who want to
master the fine art of developing leaders and becoming leaders.' -
Prasad Kaipa, Kaipa Group, US 'Teaching Leadership takes the reader
from leadership traits to leadership transformation, and models the
pedagogy it professes. Those of us who bridge theory and practice
on a daily basis will find the historical, theoretical, and
philosophical context in which leadership education, training and
development are defined an invaluable prism through which we better
understand the why, what and how of leadership. While this book
comes close to being the canon we incessantly seek, the authors
intentionally avoid this. Instead, they present an integrated
complexity of information with glorious clarity. The coalescence of
scientific knowledge, philosophical grounding, intentionality,
reflection, preparation, thoroughness, program design and
evaluation on which Teaching Leadership is based, is a benchmark
for best practice in teaching and forming leadership.' - Katherine
