Abstract:

"Pioneering psychologist and education expert Howard Gardner applies a cognitive lens to leadership identifying one of its crucial but long neglected components: the minds of leaders and the people who follow them.... Shows how effective leaders create and embody new stories that wrestle successfully with stories that already populate the minds of their followers. Gardner imposes his highly original framework on a wide spectrum of leaders from Manhattan Project director J. Robert Oppenheimer to Pope John XXIII to offer fascinating revelations about the messages and the methods of eleven remarkable leaders." -- back cover.

Summary

From a pioneering psychologist and education expert, a sweeping examination of how great leaders harness the power of stories

In Leading Minds , Howard E. Gardner and his research associate, Emma Laskin, take a novel approach to the study of leadership, exploring it from a cognitive perspective to glean powerful lessons for decision makers of all sorts. Drawing on Gardner's groundbreaking work on intelligence and creativity, they show how effective leaders both create new stories and tap into the power of existing narratives. With deep understanding, Gardner and Laskin consider a wide spectrum of leaders-including Manhattan Project director J. Robert Oppenheimer, Pope John XXIII, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher, and more-to offer fascinating insights about the messages and the methods of influential people.

Updated and expanded by the author, Leading Minds stands as the definitive psychological study of leadership.
