The second edition of Leadership offers a unique, highly-applied
academic treatise on leadership, uniquely blending a chronological
analysis of the last 100 years of leadership theory with exclusive
CEO interviews. The case studies, expert insights and other
teaching aids are timely and hard hitting, making this textbook
relevant, insightful and informative, while a research chapter
empowers the reader to competently question the leaders that shape
our world. The world has turned on its political and corporate axis
since the first edition of Leadership was published, and it became
necessary to produce a second edition that fully encapsulated,
respected and observed these changes. Numerous new case studies,
discussion starters and examples subsequently reflect today's
volatile technological, political, financial and social shifts,
while exclusive interviews with successful CEOs powerfully blend
theory with practice. Readers will learn the importance of
navigating leadership in the most testing of times. A new chapter,
'Researching leadership', offers the reader the opportunity to
develop significantly as a leadership researcher and to ably
question reality in a post-truth world. A self-leadership chapter
equips the reader to develop their own leadership capabilities,
while retaining the ability to avoid destructive leadership.
Ultimately, readers will become empowered to appreciate the
complex, intersectional nature of leadership and to learn what it
takes to lead in today's politically, technologically and socially
tumultuous world. This book will be particularly engaging for
students and educators at secondary school, college, undergraduate
and postgraduate level, and for leadership/management consultants.
While the book's primary role remains as a core text for
leadership, management and business modules, it will also be of
interest to students on many other courses (e.g. psychology,
politics, sociology). Packed with teaching resources which
educators will find particularly useful, Leadership is the only
textbook of its kind to offer such an applied view of this subject
via the inclusion of 12 (mostly CEO) expert insights. The first
edition was an "Amazon Hot New Release", so this second edition
might also hold interest for a general readership.
