The Leader′s Shadow is the first book to fully examine the inner dynamics of executives in top leadership positions. Based on systematically collected descriptions from a wide variety of executive leaders and a comprehensive review of the literature on leadership character, this book provides a framework for thinking about the character development of those in leadership positions. Judge describes and analyzes the context within which leaders operate, the theory and research behind the personalities of leaders, and the values held by leaders. The Leader′s Shadow is an important resource for executive coaches, management trainers, and consultants, as well as students in leadership, organizational change and organizational development.
