Even more often, world-weary "plantation" managers are often seen sipping lemonade on the verandah of their palatial offices while the workers in the field live on slave wages. In this insightful social and business commentary, Shelton applies the artful background of classic literature to contrast ideal leadership with contemporary hucksters who are seduced by their own public relations campaigns and who wade through fraud and deception to manipulate their followers. He invites readers to see beyond the shams perpetrated by such counterfeit managers and learn how to become more authentic leaders themselves. Reviews This insightful book will help you be more effective in your work, life, and leadership. —Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People In a world of tabloid heroes and skin-deep virtues, Ken Shelton gives us laser-accurate core values and the absolute essence of authentic leadership: substance instead of style, fact in place of fallacy, and timeless wisdom instead of faddish notions. —Denis Waitley, author of Psychology of Winning
