A classic American success story modest in both scope and tone very entertaining . (The Economist, August 2010). Still Surprised is an enjoyable read. Warren writes with a quiet confidence that is intriguing yet comforting. (Leadership Expert, September 2010). reveals the triumphs and struggles of the man who is considered the pioneer in the contemporary field of leadership studies . (Public Net, Octobebr 2010). As a wonderfully honest reporter, Warren does not hesitate to discuss his disappointments and his mistakes, personal as well as professional. Yet this book has an excitement, an energy, a joie de vivre that is inspiring. As an essentialist, I suspect that Warren was born with an ebullient temperament. And yet at the same time, I must acknowledge that Warren is at the happiest point in his life right now, because the roles that he assumed in the last twenty years-- master teacher, mentor, writer, pundit, and, yes, guru--are the ones into which he has grown. And they have made him what he is, just as surely as he excelled in them because of who he is. (Howard Gardner , The Washington Post , August 11, 2010) Author InformationWarren Bennis is distinguished professor of business administration at the University of Southern California. He is chairman of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University's Kennedy School. He has also served as president of the University of Cincinnati and provost of SUNY-Buffalo.
