CHOICE Review

Leadership and Entrepreneurship, edited by two experts in the field, contains the writings of some impressive authorities. Papers are organized in three sections: "Personal Dimension: The Entrepreneur as Leader," "Organization Dimension: Shaping the Entrepreneurial Organization," and "Multidimension: Building Valuable Companies." Collectively, they focus on the entrepreneur's views from a personal and organizational perspective. Most notable, the reader will gain insight into what makes entrepreneurs tick--especially the successful ones, and how the individual affects his/her organization's development. In a way, the book is reminiscent of Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (1989). Recommended for lower-division undergraduates and above, researchers, entrepreneurs, and any aspiring entrepreneur. S. D. Goldberg University of New Haven
