Product Description

Product Description

The sixth edition of this popular anthology continues its interdisciplinary approach to the topic of leadership. Reviving hundreds of articles published since the fifth edition, William Rosenbach and Robert Taylor collected new, quality essays describing components of leadership such as vision, values, culture, development and outcomes. That new material, combined with classic essays from prior editions forms a collection of work that clearly illustrates the contradictions and paradoxes of leadership from historical to contemporary perspectives and global to individual considerations. The interdisciplinary approach to presentations of cutting-edge research and applications of leadership set this book apart from other collections. Contemporary issues are updated to reflect the best thinking of our time. Without confusing leadership with management, the book clarifies the role of gender in leadership effectiveness, reemphasizes followership as an integral component of leadership, and has a more logical flow in the order of the parts and chapters. With classic selections retained and nine new essays added, this sixth edition of "Contemporary Issues in Leadership" presents a renewed framework for understanding leaders and leadership from a contemporary perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anthology's authors knowledgeably dissect leadership traits, 13 Oct 2006
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This collection of essays from 21 contributors is inspiring reading for those who want to build their leadership talents or improve their companies. It is designed for good leaders, or for people who aspire to that rank and are open to being taught. Interestingly, the book also addresses how people can become better followers. Unlike many other books within this topic range, this anthology makes a distinction between leadership, which it sees as direction setting, and management, which it sees as somewhat more procedural. The essays are interesting, wide-ranging and practical. We find that the 21 voices here have a unified mission: to explain why some people are better than others at getting attention, accomplishing specific tasks and providing their followers with a sense of meaning.
