Leadership in Organizations

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The most comprehensive survey of major theories and research on leadership and managerial effectiveness in organizations with practical suggestions for improving skills. Balancing theory and research with applications, the book addresses controversies and differing viewpoints about leadership effectiveness with a focus on the question of what makes a person an effective leader. Covering charismatic and transformational leadership as well as influence processes, it asks readers to identify effective and ineffective behavior by managers and to suggest ways to handle the situation. The fourth edition of Leadership in Organizations has been revised to reflect the progress that has been made in understanding leadership since the first edition. It provides more guidelines and recommendations for improving effectiveness without prescribing how a manager must behave. And, it covers "hot" topics, such as charismatic and transformational leadership, influence processes, leading teams, and leading change. An essential reference on management and leadership for every professional manager.

FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

Focusing on managerial leadership, the author presents a broad survey of theory and research intended to please both academics and practitioners. New chapters discuss leading teams, leading change, follower-based approaches to leadership, and developing leaders. Other updates include expanded information on topics such as strategic leadership, influence processes, self-managed teams, distributed leadership, and being a good follower; and more practitioner guidelines to help managers apply the theory and research findings.
