Hedgehogs and Foxes: Character, Leadership, and Command in Organizations

Zaleznik provides a rich analysis of leaders using the metaphor of hedgehogs (those leaders that rose to the top on one big thing) and foxes (those leaders that know many things.) Focusing on some well know leaders such as Robert McNamara, Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., and Dwight Eisnehower (just to name a few) Zaleznik uses a psychoanalytical framework to detail their leadership style and he focuses on each leader's character as it was developed from youth. For anyone who wants an in-depth study of some great historical leaders, this book is a must!
