'As the author of a new book, Professionalizing Leadership, in
which I take on the leadership industry, specifically the often
careless and casual way in which we profess to teach how to lead,
it gives me particular pleasure to highly recommend Teaching
Leadership by Perruci and Hall. Though it's possible to take issue
with some specifics, to anyone with any interest in leadership as
pedagogical practice, especially but not exclusively at the
undergraduate level, I say this book is not to be missed.' -
Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University, US and author of, among
others, The End of Leadership, Followership, and Bad Leadership
'This book is a must read for educators and students who want to
master the fine art of developing leaders and becoming leaders.' -
Prasad Kaipa, Kaipa Group, US 'Teaching Leadership takes the reader
from leadership traits to leadership transformation, and models the
pedagogy it professes. Those of us who bridge theory and practice
on a daily basis will find the historical, theoretical, and
philosophical context in which leadership education, training and
development are defined an invaluable prism through which we better
understand the why, what and how of leadership. While this book
comes close to being the canon we incessantly seek, the authors
intentionally avoid this. Instead, they present an integrated
complexity of information with glorious clarity. The coalescence of
scientific knowledge, philosophical grounding, intentionality,
reflection, preparation, thoroughness, program design and
evaluation on which Teaching Leadership is based, is a benchmark
for best practice in teaching and forming leadership.' - Katherine
Tyler Scott, Ki ThoughtBridge LLC, US Can we really teach
leadership? Yes, we can, and this book provides innovative ways of
doing so. It is designed to help educators contribute to their
learners? leadership development by expanding and enhancing their
knowledge and competencies through a study of theory, practice and
experiential learning. We need effective leaders at all levels of
society. The more educators do to prepare leaders to make a
positive difference, the better off the world will be. Educators
can adjust, adopt, and adapt concrete examples provided in this
book to fit their own organizations? needs. The authors explore
time-tested efforts at linking leadership theory and practice in
ways that promote meaningful leadership development for our
learners. Starting from ''?why?'' and ''?what?'' about leadership,
the book progresses to ''?how?'' to organize teaching leadership.
It emphasizes lessons learned as a result of decades of experience
in the design, implementation, and evaluation of nationally
recognized leadership programs. Each chapter includes reflection
questions that allow educators to consider how the content is
relevant or can be applied to their own institutional context.
Teaching Leadership is written for educators and practitioners in
undergraduate and graduate-level leadership programs, in
professional schools, in technical institutes, and in government
institutions, as well as for those working in for-profit and
not-for-profit organizations.
