Book Review: On Leadership by John Gardner

Book Review: On Leadership by John Gardner

Gardner believes that leaders are more born than made. He comes to this conclusion, after teaching on leadership for almost 20 years, serving under 6 presidential administrations and on the boards of several Fortune 500 companies.
