Of interest to ages 15 years and up and especially appropriate for
use in Australian secondary and undergraduate studies, this unique
book does not try to define leadership, but instead encourages the
reader to fulfil that task themselves through a series of short
essays on the personal and professional life of some contemporary
Australians recognised nationally as aspiring leaders in their
fields. A brief overview on the concept of leadership, plus a short
series of questions about leadership and coping, provides a
framework for individual study or group discussion.The Australian
Leadership Reader presents six engagingly written leadership
profiles
- Ann Sherry, a-stereotypical corporate CEO.
- Peter Garrett, leading rock-star-cum-environmentalist.
- Fiona Stanley, eminent, entrepreneurial scientist.
- Michael Kirby, internationally respected Supreme Court
Judge.
- Larissa Behrendt, award-winning author and Indigenous
leader.
- Gordon Samuels, former Governor of NSW and statesman.Five of the
leadership profiles were written by talented young Australians who
are already well on their way to future leadership roles in their
respective fields. The sixth profile was written by the subject
herself. These essays provide readers with examples of non-fiction
writing centred on contemporary Australian culture and recent
history. Each essay uses an individual approach to the question of
leadership thus demonstrating a range of writing skills and styles
such as interviewing, informative narrative, personal reflection,
descriptive prose, critical analysis, and humour. This book is
suitable across a range of key learning areas including Personal
Development, English, Pastoral Care, Modern History, and Studies of
Society.
