Leading with Aesthetics : The Transformational Leadership of Charles M. Vest at MIT

Leading with Aesthetics provides an interdisciplinary perspective of the importance of the aesthetic dimension in organizational change and leadership, richly illustrated by a book-length case study and analysis of Charles M. Vest, MIT’s president, and his leadership team between 1990 and 2004. Relatively little work has been done in studying leadership of academic institutions, let alone from the perspective of aesthetics, both of which this book aims to rectify.
