| Reviews of The Dance of Leadership “In The Dance of Leadership, Bob and Janet Denhardt look at the ‘art’ of leadership from a refreshingly new perspective. Throughout my career I have read and listened to arguments on whether leadership was an art or science. This book leaves no doubt about where most successful leaders come down on the subject. A ‘must have’ addition to any library collection on leadership.” General Ron Fogleman Former Chief of Staff, United States Air Force “Since art can be inculcated, and techniques for its pursuit can be taught, this book should be of great use to those who seek to lead, or simply to understand how leadership works. The outline is clear and the tips are well-grounded in common sense.” Hugh Downs, former co-anchor 20-20, and former host, The Today Show “Using concepts and experiences drawn from the arts, this book makes and eloquent and persuasive case for a new language of leadership, one quite different from the traditional command and control models in favor of an art of leadership that engages and energizes people and cause them to act. Modern leaders will resonate with the Denhardts’ description of leadership; those seeking to become leaders would be well advised to do so as well. Lattie Coor, former president, University of Vermont and Arizona State University “The Dance of Leadership shakes up conventional wisdom about management. Just when you think nothing new can be said about leadership, the Denhardts come along with an innovative interpretation full of fresh ideas and valuable insights.” Jay Hakes, Executive Director, Jimmy Carter Presidential Library “Leadership is one of the most important processes in human society and also one of the most complex and least understood. In this creative work, Bob and Janet Denhardt offer new insights in clear and captivating prose. For those who realize that leadership involves artistry and individual expression, this book will become a primary source.” Kenneth P. Ruscio Dean, Jepson School of Leadership, University of Maryland “This book literally dances off the pages with personal stories and organizational insights that give us a greater understanding of the practice of leadership through the lenses of art, music, and dance.” Cynthia Cherrey, Executive Director, International Leadership Association “We can talk about leadership as an art and not a science, but Bob and Janet Denhardt go beyond talk. They take us to the heartbeat of leadership itself. The Dance of Leadership evokes the artist within each of us in a way that makes leadership natural and accessible to all.” James Keene Executive Director, California Association of Counties |
