Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Put all the pieces of effective leadership together.

One piece of a puzzle on its own is meaningless. But when all the pieces come together, a picture takes shape, and the puzzle makes sense. The same is true in studying leadership. If you try to learn leadership by only looking at a single theory or approach, you only get one piece of the overall picture.

That s why Practicing Leadership, Third Edition features contributions from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, management, communications, military science, the quality movement, political science, and philosophy. The text takes you on a unique journey through the key paradigms that have helped shape some of today s most widely respected world leaders. Along the way, you ll explore essays by James Kouzes, Barry Posner, and Stephen Covey, along with profiles of such real-world leaders as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, John Wooden, Sam Walton, and Colin Powell.

With Practicing Leadership, Third Edition, you can:

• See how the different leadership pieces fit together with Shriberg s new leadership framework, which presents all the major leadership theories in a coherent and logical manner.
• Prepare yourself to be an effective leader in today s global society, with new and revised coverage of ethics and multiculturalism.
• Examine the roots of leadership through different disciplines, including psychology, communication, philosophy, political science, and management.
• Review current and popular theories as well, as the future trends in leadership.
• Develop your own theory and approach to leadership.
