Elesa Zehndorfer

Multi Award Winning Writer

I am a professional writer and author of five (politics, leadership & finance-related) titles for leading global academic publisher Taylor & Francis. I earned my doctorate from Loughborough University in 2006. My political novel Upload was recently re-released in hardback (alongside existing paperback and e-book formats) and I manage a politics & finance-themed Psychology Today blog. I am currently working on the manuscript of a politics book that focuses on voter manipulation. Alongside lecturing on an executive MBA programme at a leading European academic institution, I have spoken, over the years, at many conferences and events in North America, Europe, the UK and Asia.

New Release

Upload

My debut fiction was released a few months ago by Blackheath Publishing! Check out the book trailer here, or buy it in an eBook or paperback format today! Kindle Unlimited member? Then you can read it for free!

A breath taking, explosive adventure thriller, Upload will take you on an edge-of-your-seat journey between science & faith, life & death, and a battle for the political soul of a nation. Join Luke Templeton in his epic race against time to stop the freewheeling rise of shadowy sci tech giant Levanter from waging ultimate destruction in this life, and beyond.

From the stunning mountain peaks of Lake Saffira, through the wild seas of the Bering Strait and across the vast ice plains of Alaska, Upload is a genre-crossing adventure thriller that will truly keep you guessing until the very last line.

Review of Leadership: A Critical Introduction

Hear From My Readers!

‘Zehndorfer's Charismatic Leadership is the first book of its kind that sought to deconstruct the role of charismatic leaders in fuelling the fires of market fragility and the cyclical boom-and-bust nature of the financial markets. A must read for any scholar or practitioner wishing to gain further insight into the powerful role of charisma in the origination and perpetuation of financial markets crises.’ - Thomas Pang, CEO, Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation Limited, Singapore
