Product Description

Review

"How leadership is shared in teams and organizations is an important subject, but one that has received little attention in most of the leadership literature. This timely book provides a rich and varied perspective on the subject. The highly qualified collection of scholars provide a good theoretical foundation to guide the future study of shared leadership."

(Gary Yukl )

"Shared Leadership offers a much-needed shift in our thinking about how leadership happens in teams and organizations. Pearce and Conger have brought together a diverse group of authors who collectively offer a comprehensive view of developing, implementing, and studying shared leadership in organizations. This volume is sure to fulfill its goal of "jump-starting" our knowledge of the shared leadership phenomenon."

(Cynthia D. McCauley, Ph.D. )

"The time is as ripe as ever for a new paradigm of leadership that the authors simply call 'shared leadership.' This timely volume effectively 'jumpstarts' our knowledge of this emerging field by presenting a number of critical perspectives examining shared leadership using conceptual, empirical, and applied lenses."

(Joe Raelin )

"This volume redefines the essence of leadership. Pearce and Conger have assembled a cast of 'scholar-entrepreneurs' whose pioneering work firmly establishes the theoretical foundations for the study of leadership now and well into the future. This book is a must read for anyone interested in leadership in the age of teamwork."

(Henry P. Sims )

"An essential reference work for any researcher or scholar who wants to understand, study, or facilitate collective approaches to productivity and performance in groups and organizations"

(Donelson Forsyth )

"Shared Leadership: Reframing the Hows and Whys of Leadership is rich in ideas that might help health care's highly interdependnet managers and caregivers work together more effectively in today's high-stress health care environment." (Martin D. Merry, M.D. )

"Shared Leadership is a comprehensive, systematic and well-knitted collection of articles on a new dimension of leadership- shared or team leadership, with a well-thought out scheme of presentation of theory, research, practice and critique."

(S. Bhargava )


Product Description

Shared Leadership brings together the foremost thinkers on the subject and is the first book of its kind to address the conceptual, methodological, and practical issues for shared leadership. It advances the understanding of the shared leadership phenomenon: its dynamics, moderators, appropriate settings, facilitating factors, contingencies, measurement, practice implications, and directions for the future. This book provides a realistic and practical discussion of the benefits, as well as the risks and problems, associated with shared leadership. It is an essential text for management, education, and communication courses in leadership, teamwork, organizational behaviour and small groups. Practising consultants will find this an invaluable reference in their leadership and team development programmes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Shared management more like!, 14 Jan 2006
By Mitchell McCrimmon (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a serious academic look by a number of respected authorities on the idea of shared leadership within teams. The idea is that team members can voluntarily take charge temorarily to coordinate the efforts of their colleaues as in self-managing team. The main merit of this book is that it recognizes that executives cannot provide all the leadership that teams need in a complex, fast changing, knowledge driven world. But, we have had the concept of informal leadership for decades now, so shared leadership is really little more than a new name for an old idea. Indeed, their concept, like informal leadership, sounds a lot like shared management. Too bad we can't agree on how management and leadership differ as this confusion is infecting all our efforts to develop new ideas about leadership and how it might work when it is dispersed throughout organizations, ideas we badly need for the reasons Conger and Pearce rightly state - increasing complexity and pace of change. Dispersed leadership can be conceptualized in a very different way, as simply championing new directions. This sort of leadership can be shown up as well as down. Most importantly, it has nothing to do with taking charge of a group or coordinating its efforts as in shared or informal leadership where management and leadership are not lumped together in a confusing jumble.
