Leaders and aspiring leaders are constantly searching for role
models who are successful in placing leadership theory into
effective practice. This book identifies ten such role models whose
heroic leadership behavior is analyzed in order to reveal what
particular abilities and skills made them successful and how those
attributes can be applied to one s own leadership practice, whether
that be as a classroom teacher, a principal or a superintendent of
schools. They are juxtaposed with ten leaders who were effective,
but certainly not heroic. Dr. Palestini points out that effective
leaders have been utilizing the same leadership behavior for
centuries. He uses this evidence to support the perennial and
lasting impact of situational leadership theory which posits that
no single way of leading works in all situations. Rather,
appropriate leadership behavior depends on the circumstances at a
given time. For decades effective managers have been diagnosing the
situation, identifying the leadership style or behavior that will
be most effective, and then determining whether they can implement
the required style. The leadership behavior of ten heroic leaders
ranging from Jane Addams to Warren Buffett, and from Abraham
Lincoln to Joe Paterno is examined in this book. The lesson learned
from these heroic leaders being that if one wishes to hone one s
current leadership skills or become a future leader, one can learn
to do so by reflectively looking to those who have established
themselves in history as both effective and heroic leaders, that
is, leaders who lead with both mind and conscience.
