"Hilarie Owen has created a three stage model that will take you on a journey of discovery about yourself, about the world in which you have to operate, and about how you can face the challenges in your own sphere of experience." "The odyssey In Search of Leaders takes you right back to the Ancient Greeks, through the Industrial Revolution, and on to see glimpses of how the future could be. Hilarie Owen's wide-ranging discussion reflects her idea of encouraging us, the readers, to take the 'world view'. She brings into focus not only the latest thinking on leadership, but also some of the classical thinking that has underpinned the activities and beliefs of organizations and the societies in which they exist, for many centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
