Review: The Leadership Capital Index

Investing in a strong leader you believed in—from Jack Welch to Steve Jobs—probably got you a far better return than even the most rigorous research of the tangibles that company valuations are based on. So why isn't there an objective system for investors to measure the value of leadership? Now there is.

Drawing on research from investor and business leaders, Ulrich analyzes two broad domains, the individual domain and the organizational domain, each with its own unique set of factors to evaluate leaders.
