Trade Review"Alan Cutler has reflected deeply on the theory and practice of leadership and has written a book that is a stimulating contribution to the subject." * Professor John Adair, Chair of Leadership Studies, United Nations System Staff College *
"Leadership Psychology offers practical guidance for leaders, based upon relevant psychological theory." * Dr. Gail Steptoe-Warren, Principal Lecturer, Psychology and Behavioural Studies, Coventry College *
"Everything is carefully and considerably mixed together, case studies, feedback, viewpoints, to make an engaging, thoughtful, critical and candid read. A very good, rounded book on a fascinating subject." * Darren Ingram, Darren Ingram Media *
"The book is clearly written, very readable, refreshingly free of obfuscating jargon, logically organized, comprehensive, and informative. It will certainly be of value to anyone interested in the field of leadership either from a theoretical and conceptual perspective on the one hand or from a practical, hands-on, and developmental perspective on the other." * Ira J.Morrow, Assoc.
