Artists as leaders is currently a hot topic and John Maeda, as president of the Rhode Island School of Design and formerly of MIT's Media Lab would seem to be well positioned to write about it. Maeda is probably better characterized as a designer and thought leader than a traditional artist. I enjoyed the book but think it could have been much better if he more openly shared the challenges he faced at RISD soon after arriving. He gives us hints of what he dealt with; however, it would have been interesting to learn more about what it was like as a leader to live through a very public vote of no confidence by faculty and students. All in all I enjoyed the book and recommend it, especially to all those artists who are burgeoning leaders and leaders who are burgeoning artists. (less)

The Leadership Challenge is clearly a management classic. What sets it apart from most business / leadership books is that the authors use examples from everyday managers and avoid the superstar ceo's. The lessons laid out are clear and actionable and if followed they will help all managers do a better job in leading their people. At times Leadership Challenge makes it seem like leadership is easy if the reader follows their perscriptions. Unfortunately, leadership is not that easy. It would have been good to include a little more about the frustrations of managing and leading difficult people and challenging situations. Overall, this is a very good book which I recommend to anyone who works with other people and especially new managers. (less)

This is one of the most powerful books that I have ever read. It is a must read for all leaders and change agents which will help identify and attack adaptive challenges (the BIG problems without simple, technical solutions.)(less)
