examines the ways in which existing leadership models and related concepts can be better integrated in order to provide a more developed explanation of leadership failure. The concept of the emotional tone of the group provides an integrative concept for understanding the impact of the leader at the group level. The narratives also emphasize the importance of understanding leadership and followership within a wider social context.
Reviews
“…weaves together a historical account of mutinies that is lively, immediate and captivating in its attention to human
motive and emotion.” -Dr James Warn, University of New South Wales @ the Australian Defence Force Academy
"... It has definite merits and would be a worthwhile addition in filling a missing gap in military history…has lessons for avoiding future mutinies in military institutions by allowing for early identification of the circumstances that engender rebellion. It will be a useful guide to would-be officers in keeping subordinates loyal in trying circumstances, so it should be of wider interest in a managerial sense. It is a fascinating read in its own right, with fast-paced action making for a riveting read.” -Gary Manger University of NSW, ADFA Campus
"...provides a useful social, economic and political context to mutiny at each major historical juncture..." -Michael O’Donnell, Professor of Human Resource Management University of NSW, ADFA Campus
