What is leadership? Are leaders made or born? Are the
characteristics and challenges of leadership the same across time
and cultures? Do leaders 'pull' or are they 'pushed'? Are leaders
driven by needs that may be dysfunctional to the organizations they
lead? Do women leaders behave differently from men? Should we look
for models of business and organizational leadership in military
organizations? These are all just some of the questions posed in
this Reader which includes key statements from classical philosophy
(Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli) through to modern management writers
(Barnard, Kets de Vries, Fiedler, Rosener). The collection will be
invaluable to students and managers taking a range of courses in
business management and leadership training. In his Introduction,
Keith Grint both surveys current thinking on leadership and
provides an excellent road map' of the readings which are grouped
under five headings: Classical, Traditional, Modern, Mythical, and
Alternative. This book is intended for management and students at
undergraduate and graduate level managers in executive training
programmes
