Abstract:
This book focuses on leadership, management, and organizational effectiveness. The text is exceptionally well organized, with key sections on leader assessment, characteristics, behaviors, styles, leadership theory, and evaluation and development. The author's comprehensive leadership action cycle provides an easy-to-follow theme for the entire book. It includes more than 100 in-text exhibits (vignettes, cases, and examples) that illuminate key points; an original, reproducible 360-degree survey instrument on leadership assessment; end-of-chapter discussion questions and exercises.
