This critical review of the strengths and weaknesses of the best-known leadership theories fundamentally enhances our understanding. Dugan’s insights are transformative. He offers ways to improve these theories rather than disregarding them based on their shortcomings. I love the notion of zombie theories—you have to read the book to find out what that is! The narratives help ground complex concepts and the reflection questions compel the reader to engage with the material.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Adrianna Kezar, professor for higher education, University of Southern California\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“The prophetic voice of John Dugan speaks to us again.
