"It's a joy to read and will fascinate any student of political leadership. The book is so well written and substantively so interesting that I think it would appeal to incumbent and aspiring political leaders as well as scholars and students in various disciplines. There are three things I like the most: it focuses on the heart of political leadership studies—the capacity for innovation; it contains informative, well-written (sometimes even elegant) case studies by mature scholarly specialists; and the whole demonstrates a coherent unity of purpose." — Glenn Paige, University of Hawaii at Manoa
