 [This book] has been written specifically to address the key questions that students bring to an undergraduate survey course or to an MBA-level seminar on leadership. But all those striving to find meaningful ways to think about leadership can count themselves as part of the audience for this text. [This book] first ... describes the core leadership theories that have been proposed and documented by theorists with varying degrees of success over the years and then subjects them to measured analysis. Competing views of organizational leadership - from sociologists, critical management theorists, feminists, and others - add contrast and additional perspective. By balancing the theoretical coverage with insights from a diverse group of practitioners, [this book] opens another window on leadership, one that examines leadership as it unfolds in the workplace.-Pref.
