The first is that the authors firmly believe, with few exceptions, in the fundamental goodness of all humans. Furthermore, anyone can become a better leader....The second good thing about the book is the unique partnership of the authors--a psychotherapist and a management professor. The writing reflects both bodies of knowledge nicely. The third thing I like about the book is that the first author uses examples of himself. -Personnel Psychology The 2nd Language of Leadership, authored by a clinical psychologist and management professor, gives new insight into the role of self in leadership. The well known Big 5 factors in Personality play an important role in one's leadership abilities. This important topic will be of interest to managers, students, and professionals. -Bernard M. Bass, Ph.D. Center for Leadership Studies, State University of New York at Binghamton, New Y This is the first leadership book I've seen that relies entirely on the Big 5 personality approach. This is timely, particularly given recent evidence that suggests several of the Big 5 dimensions are linked to effective work performance. -Ronald Riggio, Ph.D. Claremont McKenna College, Kravis Leadership Institute This eminently readable book accomplishes a genuinely useful synthesis. The authors' thesis--that effective managers must be fluent in both their own personality dynamics and in the sociology of leadership--helps explain why so many well-meaning executives run into trouble. More importantly, the authors provide a thoroughly pragmatic guide to the often overlooked elements that spell the differences between good intentions and competent leadership. -Philip Erdberg, PhD Corte Madera, CA Author InformationMichael P.
