Produktbeschreibung

This third edition of Leadership in Organizations: Current Issues and Key Trends builds on the success of the previous versions, with new and updated chapters providing fresh and lively insights into a subject that can often be tricky to pin down.

Leadership in Organizations carefully balances theory and practice, including critical perspectives, to examine fundamental questions about the meaning of leadership, its use and its development. Readers will benefit from the text's rich use of cases and examples of real-life tensions, challenges and successful outcomes of leadership practice. The book also sets itself apart through its distinctive focus on leadership within the wider contexts of politics, economics and public policy, as well as organizational behaviour and management.

Rezensionen

'In this volume the redoubtable John Storey has done it again: assembling a first-rate cast of contributors and getting them to deliver their best work. This new edition of Leadership in Organizations tells us where the frontline in our knowledge about leadership is, in both public and private organisations, and where it is going. A real gem - highly recommended.' - Paul 't Hart, Utrecht University and Netherlands School of Public Administration, The Netherlands
