 Succeeding as a leader in the organization of today and tomorrow requires a special set of management skills and competencies. Organizations are being restructured and redesigned to be lean, flexible, and adaptable to change; leaders in all areas and at all levels of the organization are expected to be proactive, team-oriented, and focused on results; and diversity in the workforce has become the rule rather than the exception. MANAGEMENT: CHALLENGES FOR TOMORROW'S LEADERS exposes students to these new challenges and contemporary issues that the leaders of today and tomorrow will continually face. This book includes a number of features designed to prepare students to be leaders in this new millennium, meeting the challenges inherent in a dynamic, rapidly changing business environment, developing the competencies and skills that leaders will need in the future, bridging the gap between management theory and practice, and responding to the contemporary management trends that will affect both organizations and managers in the 21st century.
