This highly readable and compelling book aids students and would-be leaders in a whole variety of fields to understand leadership and become effective leaders.

Leadership Intelligence builds on the authors’ national prize-winning Leadership Matters (2012). Political scientists and leadership scholars Tom Cronin and Michael Genovese provide a guide for navigating the contradictions, ambiguities and nuances of leadership. They clarify the realities and competing definitions of leadership. They examine what we learn about leadership intelligence from the classics, war, business, politics and film. They also examine the problems of toxic and dysfunctional power wielding. Finally, they examine how leadership intelligence differs from IQ and Emotional Intelligence yet combines these with creativity and entrepreneurial skills.

Leadership Intelligence is essential reading for students of leadership, especially undergraduate students and young people entering business, the military and politics.
