The Nature of Leadership includes the most important areas of leadership in a concise and integrated manner with impactful contributions from the most prominent leadership scholars and researchers in the field. Editors John Antonakis and David V. Day provide an in-depth exploration of the major schools of leadership as well as emerging perspectives. This fully-updated text includes new material examining followership, gender, power, identity, culture, and entrepreneurial leadership. The text concludes by unpacking philosophical and methodological issues in leadership such as ethics and corporate social responsibility. The Third Edition has been fully revised to be more accessible and student friendly with new vignettes, examples, statistics, and recommended case studies and TED Talk-type videos to illuminate the essence of leadership. "This is the definitive higher-level textbook on leadership and leaders written by key scholars. It provides a broad collection of engaging texts for both students and researchers." -Oliver Mallett, Durham University Business School
Whereas most of the leadership literature has focused on direct,
interpersonal leadership, few researchers have examined indirect
leadership or the leadership of organizations. Of course, direct,
personal leadership plays an important role at all levels of the
organization. However, we focus here on how leaders use strategy,
structures, and systems to create the conditions that stimulate
others to meaningfully contribute to the overarching goals of the
organization. We therefore explore the role of the strategic leader
as an architect. In this role as strategic architect, we examine
how top-level leaders create organizations wherein leadership is
developed, knowledge is created and disseminated, meaning is shaped
and shared, and where the vision cascades to all corners of the
organization. We also explore the darker side of leader discretion
to show the deleterious consequences of leader power. Finally, we
examine the complex nature of organizations and the roles of
leaders in adapting the organization to the environment in which it
operates.
