Art of the Leader
Cohen offers the reader an insightful and superbly written account of how to become a better leader. This book is not just for managers; anyone who might find themselves in a leadership role in any type of setting will reap countless rewards from this book. Though shorter in length than Tom Peters and Nancy Austin's A Passion for Excellence, ( LJ 6/15/85), Cohen's book packs in a huge amount of practical wisdom. Some readers may find the author's frequent examples culled from various military figures a bit excessive; nevertheless, they reflect the author's background and are quite powerful portrayals of Cohen's concepts. Destined to be a best seller and possibly a management classic. See also Philip B.
