Praise for The Wizard and the Warrior
"The Wizard and the Warrior will make us think carefully again
about leadership in general and about our own style in
particular."
--Walter F. Ulmer Jr., lieutenant general, U.S. Army (Ret.),
former president and CEO, Center for Creative Leadership
"Bolman and Deal's The Wizard and the Warrior could be your
secret weapon. Read. Learn. Then lead with confidence."
--Thomas Keller, The French Laundry
"The numerous examples of historical and contemporary figures
and their life stories serve to bring leadership ideas alive in a
way that few books achieve."
--Len Schlesinger, vice chairman and chief operating officer,
Limited Brands
"Bolman and Deal have thrown their arms around the
inspirational, on one hand, and the tough, practical, and sometimes
brutal, on the other. Through wonderful stories, they convincingly
illustrate the real challenges and possibilities of living life
grounded by larger purposes and the courage to interrogate
reality."
--Ronald A. Heifetz, Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy
School of Government, Harvard University; author of Leadership
Without Easy Answers and Leadership on the Line
"The 'gold standard' for looking at leadership. The Wizard and
the Warrior is about fighting the good fight, but not losing sight
of the magic--it is about making the word flesh. This is a
must-read for anyone who cares about becoming a better
leader."
--Paul D. Houston, executive director, American Association of
School Administrators
"The book provokes the reader to understand the immeasurable
potential of the wizard and warrior in each of us that can create
change and challenge."
--John KeolaLake, kumu-in-residence, Chaminade University of
Honolulu, Hawai'i, head of Hawaiian traditions
"Provides in-depth insight into passion and power, and how they
are the very essence of leadership."
--Terrence P. Dunn, chief executive officer, J.E. Dunn
Construction Company
"What do wizards and warriors have to do with good leadership? A
lot, it turns out. So hoist your inner sword or wand and let Bolman
and Deal instruct you on how to wield it effectively, and on how
notable combatants from Joan of Arc to Bill Gates have
fared."
--John Alexander, president, Center for Creative Leadership
