“This is a wonderful book. It captures Max’s spirit—and he’s a
truly exceptional person. But it also says more about leadership in
clearer, more elegant, and more convincing language than many of
the much longer books that have been published on the
subject.”—Peter F. Drucker
“His opus is as worthy as scripture.”—New York Times Book
Review
“Like the elegant furniture his company makes, De Pree’s book
provides a valuable lesson in grace, style, and the elements of
success.”—Time
“Leadership Is an Art is one of the best books I have ever read in
my life on the subject of leadership and business management
philosophy.”—Sam Walton
“Perhaps we should banish all of our management books except Max De
Pree’s recent gem, Leadership Is an Art. The successful Herman
Miller, Inc., chairman . . . . writes only about trust, grace,
spirit, and love . . . . such concerns are the essence of
organizations, small or large.”—Inc. magazine
