Abstract:
"Leadership provides a critical review and analysis of the key components of leadership - and its limits. Against a historical backdrop, the text explores the foundations of successful and unsuccessful leadership, the relationship between the leaders and subordinates and the role leaders play in the dynamics of organisation life. Taking four of the most popular approaches, Leadership as Results, as Process, as Position and as identity, the author analyses the theoretical source of each alternative and then provides a wide range of illustrative case studies to support his points. Taking a critical perspective, the text is an ideal course companion for undergraduate and MBA students studying leadership."--Jacket.
