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.
