The Leadership Questionnaire designed by Zichy assesses a woman's management style, based in part on the results of psychological tests, including Myers-Briggs. Typical questions include whether one meets deadlines easily, likes scheduling and likes to meet people. Using her questionnaire, Zichy examined a number of accomplished women to see whether they share any similar attributes. Among the qualities they have in common are focused intellectual energy, optimism in the face of setbacks and the belief that learning is an ongoing process. Yet even with these shared traits, several types of leadership styles emerged. To help readers understand them, Zichy profiles more than 30 of the women she interviewed, presenting biographical information, a description of their style and some of their own commentary about their accomplishments. (Among the women who appear here are Linda Chavez-Thompson, executive v-p of the AFL-CIO; journalist Diane Sawyer; playwright Wendy Wasserstein; and Alexandra Lebenthal, president of Lebenthal & Company.) Although Zichy's intent is to educate women so they can better use their leadership personality and advance on the job, the book's strength is in its engaging profiles; the psychological assessments are often cumbersome and offer fewer insights than the women's own analyses of their behavior.

From

"Leadership skills can be learned and developed," states Zichy in her well-organized book on leadership. She showcases many natural styles through interviews of 36 women, mostly Americans (ages 38 to 80), who have distinguished themselves in their fields. Using the Myers-Briggs type of indicator as a frame of reference, the author presents a model to maximize natural leadership talent. Although it can apply to men, too, the author focuses on women and offers a roadmap for each reader to understand her own style and to recognize the complementary qualities in others. The book includes a self-scoring leadership questionnaire; presents four common leadership personalities with their leadership styles; and offers ideas on how to overcome blind spots that everyone has. The author's formula for future success begins with self-knowledge and management, which leads to confidence and accomplishment, which leads to self-esteem and leadership. Although some people may not agree with all of Zichy's theories, this is a thought-provoking view of leadership. Mary Whaley
