The leaders we need : and what makes us follow - MACCOBY (Massachusetts : Harvard Business School, 2007)
In The Leaders We Need, Michael Maccoby revises the psychology of leading-from the perspective of followers, not just the ones they follow. He shows that people willingly followed not only because of their stellar qualities, but because their qualities fit the demands of a specific context. Drawing on his academic training as a psychoanalyst anf anthropologist and more than thirty-five years coaching leaders, Maccoby shows how the leaders we need can engage their followers and make them collaborators.
