Business Leadership: A Jossey-Bass Reader
I've spent my career thinking about the issue of professional effectiveness and about how people lead for success and significance. This book reflects that work.It is intentionally inclusive in content - exploring the linkages among individual, organizational, and situational factors that contribute to leadership success. It celebrates the expanded understanding of leadership and leadership development that has evolved in response to the changing nature of organizations today, the global business environment, and theoretical advances in the administrative and social sciences. Leadership is a central force in the creation of healthy and effective organizations in an increasingly competitive and complex world. Taken together, the chapters in this volume remind readers that leadership is more than tools and techniques. It is a values-based process that engages people in useful and significant ways to search for lasting solutions to today's - and tomorrow's - challenges.
