PRAISE FOR THE ART AND ADVENTURE OF LEADERSHIP

“The impact of Steve Sample and Warren Bennis has been enormous, here at USC and across academia and the world of management. But some of their most enduring impact came not simply in their roles as leaders, but as teachers who were deeply committed to building up new leaders. The Art and Adventure of Leadership distills their many lively conversations and debates into one compelling volume that can continue to educate attentive students of leadership for years to come. It’s a fitting exclamation mark on their joint legacy.”

– James G. Ellis, dean, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California

“Of all the people I’ve ever met, Steve Sample and Warren Bennis are the master teachers of leadership. Both lived it and studied it for most of their lives. Their friendship and decades-long collaboration produced some of the most important insights in the field. The Art and Adventure of Leadership captures what only a handful of students have experienced so far. Its wisdom spans generations. You should get it and read it, and more importantly, talk with others about it.”

– Dave Logan, author of Tribal Leadership and coauthor of The Three Laws of Performance

FOREWORD

Warren Bennis and Steve Sample argued passionately for years that leadership is an art, not a science. Having studied and practiced leadership at the highest levels, they concluded that there were no surefire formulas, no one-size-fits-all approaches that could be dispensed to aspiring leaders.

As Warren wrote years ago, “The process of becoming a leader is…similar to becoming a fully integrated human being.” He and Steve believed that leaders develop through their life experiences and emerge ever stronger – ready and equipped to take on the true responsibilities of leadership.

It's as simple as that. And as wonderfully mysterious as that. Warren and Steve likened this process to an adventure, one that involves unique twists, unexpected turns, and personal “crucible moments” that forge each person who sets out on the journey.
