This well-worn copy of “The Art of Leadership” by Ordway Tead is a fascinating relic from a pivotal era in management theory. Published in 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, this book offered guidance to leaders navigating turbulent economic and social upheaval. Tead, a pioneer in the human relations movement, advocated for a more democratic and participatory approach to leadership, emphasizing the importance of understanding human behavior and fostering collaboration.

Despite its age and wear, this copy invites readers to explore the timeless wisdom within its pages and appreciate the historical context that shaped its creation.
