In this series of lectures, previously unpublished in English, and here translated from a French reconstruction and interpretation by noted scholar Thierry Weil, leading organizational scholar James March uses great works of literature to explore the problems of leadership.
  • Uses great works of literature to explore the problems of leadership, for example War and Peace, Othello, and Don Quixote.
  • Presents moral dilemmas related to leadership, for example the balance between private life and public duties, and between the expression and the control of sexuality.
  • Encourages readers to explore ideas that are sometimes subversive and unpalatable but may allow organizations to adapt in a rapidly changing world.
