Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership, University of Southern California President Steven Sample offers up a refreshing perspective on the characteristics of a successful leader. Some of Sample's prescriptions: try reading Machiavelli's The Prince instead of The New York Times, learn to work for those who work for you, and "Anything worth doing at all is worth doing poorly. It may be worth more if it's done well, but it's worth something if it's done poorly." This book is not just for CEO's: middle management and anyone interested in promoting good leadership will benefit as well. --Harry C. Edwards --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
"It is a cracking good read that fairly zips along and makes you think differently about leadership.... A smashing inspirational read." (Personnel Today, 19 march 2002)

“…enjoyable and friendly book…a valuable and welcome read. This is a 'good sense' book …” (The Occupational Psychologist, December 2002) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
