Product Description

Product Description
Leadership: The Art of Experience, Fifth Edition, is written for the general student to serve as a stand-alone introduction to the subject of leadership. The text consists of 13 chapters and a final section on Basic and Advanced Leadership Skills. Authors Hughes, Ginnett, and Curphy have drawn upon three different types of literature: empirical studies; interesting anecdotes, stories and findings; and leadership skills to create a text that is personally relevant, interesting and scholarly. The authors' unique quest for a careful balancing act of leadership materials help students apply theory and research to their real-life experiences.

From the Publisher
New chapter (13) Leadership and Change. Organizations are undergoing constant change, and the people working within the system need tools for leading under all circumstances. This new chapter provides detailed information on the leadership challenges faced in both stable and dynamic organizational environments.
Each chapter concludes with a section indicating which leadership skills are most relevant to the content of that chapter, which will help students retain and apply the material.
Suggested classroom activities are found at the end of each chapter to enhance student interaction and application.
Leadership Quotes (formerly known as Highlights) are interspersed throughout the chapters and provide interesting illustrations related to the textual material.
Based on reviewer feedback, the Contingency Theories have been moved from Chapter 3 to Chapter 12 so that students will have more foundational knowledge before attacking this complex topic.
The focus on 3 particular leaders: Madeline Allbright, Colin Powell, and Konosuke Matsushita are interspersed throughout the chapters to enhance the text's currency and integration.
Leadership skills are located in Part V of the text, enhancing the continuity from chapter to chapter and making it more readable. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Leading people, 17 Jun 2003
By Mr. Paul M. Turner "paulturner10" (Taunton Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This publication forms part of many of the MBA programs currently available through either the classroom or through distance learning. It's value is dependant on the recipients ability to grasp concepts easily and apply their mind to differing scenarios. If you are serious about wanting to create in yourself a better style of developing both yourself and others, then this book will help you, however as a caveat, you have to be willing and able to adapt the concepts of approaches described to your own pattenr of behaviour within your environment. I found the book extremely useful in both my personal approaches to matters at home, as well as my developing relationships with both peers and those working for me in the work place.
My recommendation is to take your time and consider the material carefully.. (Consider = [latin Kata-nouo'] intensive thought)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, 24 Feb 2009
By M. Moyo - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Probably one of the best leadership books out there. Does not use isolated cases based on single experiences, but bases the principles of leadership on a systematic set of parameters that facilitate strategic development of the leadership function withing organizations. Highly recommended.
