Why do only a few people get to say “I love my job?”

This book describes leaders and leadership in terms of how they behave and how those they lead are affected by them. The biology and anthropology behind our societal compact with leaders are examined and put into terms easy to understand and agree with.

I would recommend anyone who ever had a bad (or a great) boss read this book!
