Bennis, author of the popular Leaders: The Strategies of Taking Charge (LJ 4/1/85) and also co-author of The Unreality Industry , reviewed in this issue, p. 00.-- Ed. , has interviewed hundreds of leaders over time, and he uses 30 of them to illustrate his points. He does this by quoting them, as appropriate, in the various chapters of the book--``Understand The Basics,'' ``Operating on Instinct,'' ``Knowing Yourself,'' etc. He still sees vision as an essential ingredient for leadership, but in this work stresses how to find the vision. ``The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely--all your skills, gifts, and energies--in order to make your vision manifest.'' Recommended for all business collections.-- Michael D. Kathman, St. John's Univ., Collegeville, Minn.
