Description

Features

For undergraduate and graduate-level courses in Leadership.

What makes an effective leader? This book discusses theories of leadership and provides practical advice for business leaders.

This text provides a balance of theory and practice as it surveys the major theories and research on leadership and managerial effectiveness in formal organizations.

Changes in the Seventh Edition include a reorganization of chapters to make room for additional material while maintaining the unique structure that addresses both academics and practitioners. The text now covers ethical, spiritual, servant, and authentic leadership and discusses diversity in leadership roles.

Theoretical Foundation: Major theories are explained and critiqued, empirical research on leadership is reviewed and summarized, and many references are provided to enable readers to follow up with additional reading on topics of special interest.

Practical Applications without being Prescriptive: Practitioners and students discover how theories and research can be used to improve the practice of management.  These guidelines help the reader understand how to use leadership theory and research without being prescriptive.

Chapter-Ending Cases: One or two short cases of real organizations are provided in every chapter. They are designed to help the reader gain a better understanding of the theories, concepts, and guidelines presented in the chapter by using real world examples.

NEW! Chapter Organization:  The previous edition’s chapter on Ethical Leadership & Diversity has been split into two separate chapters (Ch 13 & 14) to allow proper treatment of these important issues.

• Chapter 13: Ethical, Servant, Spiritual, and Authentic Leadership
• Chapter 14: Gender, Diversity, and Cross-Cultural Leadership

NEW! Extended Chapters: Chapter 12 on Strategic Leadership by Top Executives has been expanded with new information. Chapter 16 has been expanded with a section on emerging theories of distributed, relational, and complexity leadership.
