Description: An approach to cultivating the leaders of tomorrow
Brief description: Eric Thomas Weber is associate professor of public policy leadership at the University of Mississippi and the recipient of the Mississippi Humanities Council's 2015 Public Scholar Award. He serves as executive director of the Society of Philosophers in America and is the author of three books, including Democracy and Leadership: On Pragmatism and Virtue.
Review Quotes: The words 'philosophy' and 'practical' are rarely used together. Using the challenged state of Mississippi as an example, Professor Weber offers clear guidance on how inspired democratic leadership can bring about needed change. There are pearls of wisdom here for both the scholar and the aspiring leader.--Daniel W. Jones, MD, professor of physiology and medicine, former dean of the School of Medicine, and former chancellor at the University of Mississippi
