Most leaders choose between philosophy and science. Character or capability. Values or tools. Leading With Art and Science argues that choice is the mistake.
Drawing on twenty-six centuries of history, six philosophical traditions, and the full body of modern organizational research, J. M. Locke makes the case that neither dimension of leadership works without the other. A leader with values but without organizational knowledge produces outcomes that are sincere and insufficient. A leader with capability but without philosophical grounding produces outcomes that are efficient and harmful. In both cases, the person who pays the price is the follower - on an ordinary Tuesday morning, in the quality of the relationship they did not choose.
Saladin. Elizabeth I. Florence Nightingale. Griffin Hospital. The evidence spans centuries.
The argument is one: the person who reports to work on Tuesday morning is the measure of whether a leader has done their job.
Are you that leader?
