Kellerman raises the point that leadership has been the subject of many discussions, studies, research and initiatives by individuals, corporations and non-profit organisations for several decades and yet symptoms and consequences of poor leadership abound. The author charts a historical account of the development of leadership over centuries and analyses practices in the corporate and non-profit organisations. She contends that the notion of leadership has transformed over time.
