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\u003ci\u003e, The Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, August 11, 2010)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAn intimate look at the founding father of the modern leadership movement Warren Bennis is an acclaimed American scholar, successful organizational consultant and author, and an expert in the field of leadership. His much awaited memoir is filled with insights about the successes and failures from his long and storied life and career. Bennis' life and career have traversed eight decades of first-hand experience with tumultuous episodes of recent history-from Jewish child in a gentile town in the 30's, a young army recruit in the Battle of the Bulge to a college student in the one of the first progressive precursors to the civil rights movement to a patient undergoing daily psychoanalysis for five years, and later a university provost during the Vietnam protests.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReveals the triumphs and struggles of the man who is considered the pioneer in \u003ci\u003ethe\u003c\/i\u003e contemporary field of leadership studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBennis is the author of 27 books including the bestseller \u003ci\u003eOn Becoming a Leader\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is first book to examine the extraordinary life of Warren Bennis by the man himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRELUDE IX\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Crucible of War 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Launch 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Rites of Passage 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Great Groups 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Fighting the Bull 111\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Going State 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 A Year at Sea 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Coming Home 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 The Crucible of Age 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS 215\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHORS 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eINDEX 223\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52276257489176,"sku":"9780470432389","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470432389.jpg?v=1781365837","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/still-surprised-a-memoir-of-a-life-in-leadership-hardback-9780470432389","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
