The Leader's Shadow: Exploring and Developing the Executive Character
Abstract
“The Leader's Shadow: Exploring and Developing the Executive Character,” by William Q. Judge, is an engaging book in which Judge explores an area often ignored by management scholars: the inner lives of executives at the helm of business corporations. A core reason for the book, according to the author, is to add balance to the leadership literature, which predominantly focuses on the external aspects of leadership—what leaders do, rather than who they are. Citing the growth of popular books on the topic of leadership, Judge presents a persuasive argument for additional research in the academic realm, for greater conceptual clarity, for well-developed frameworks, and for precision in the articulation of ideas.
