On Leadership

In this lecture series, James G. March uses works including *War and Peace*, *Othello*, and *Don Quixote* to examine leadership as a source of moral and organizational questions. The discussions include tensions between private life and public responsibility, as well as between sexual expression and restraint. March also considers ideas that challenge accepted assumptions and how such ideas might help organizations adapt to change. The English text is translated from a French reconstruction and interpretation by scholar Thierry Weil, a point that shapes the book’s unusual route from lecture material to published volume.
