NEW: All of the chapters now include Leadership Question and What Do You Do? pedagogical features that encourage active learning.

Each chapter starts with a “The Leadership Question” that focuses the student on the theoretical or practical issues covered in the chapter. The question is specifically addressed at some point in the chapter in “The Leadership Question – Revisited” segment.

Each chapter includes a “What Do You Do?” feature that presents a brief action-oriented scenario to help students connect the material with hands-on applications.

Cross Cultural Focus

Cross-Cultural Focus: One of the goals for this text is to include cross-cultural, racial, and gender-based analyses of leadership as a major part of the discourse about leadership effectiveness.The changing demographics within the United States and the globalization of the world economy make such analysis essential.
