Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comparative study of leadership and educational models in Western Europe and the United States. The author, a European-born professor in America, argues that despite the United States' technological prowess, the country lags behind Western Europe in fostering academic excellence. The author contends that a shift in focus from specialization and technical expertise to a more well-rounded humanist education would better prepare future leaders to grapple with the challenges of an increasingly complex and interconnected world. The work provides valuable insights into the historical and cultural factors that have shaped educational systems and leadership models in both regions, making it a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of leadership and education in the United States.
