From power-driven politicists to intuitive, value-based culturists, this work offers lessons on how to embrace the seemingly opposing styles of "left-brain/masculine" management and "right-brain/feminine" leadership by profiling the successes and struggles of such public figures as: Oprah Winfrey; US Senator Hillary Clinton; Betty Friedan, founder of the National Organization for Women and author of "The Feminist Mystique"; University of Tennessee Women's basketball Coach Pat Summitt; former US Presidents Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan; and former airline executives Herb Kelleher of Southwest, Donald Burr of Peoples Express, Frank Lorenzo of Eastern and American's Robert Crandall. Dispelling the belief that the management-leadership dynamic is an either-or proposition, the coauthors' unique Management-Leadership Continuum model captures the essence of what it takes to successfully blend the essential styles of both to become a more creative, more effective and more complete manager-leader, or "to dance with their opposite".
