Full title :Understanding leadership : paradigms and cases / Gayle C. Avery.

Summary

Are current concepts of leadership appropriate for today's organizations? What will tomorrow's leadership need to be like? Is there a best approach to leadership? With a huge range of definitions and theories of leadership available, the field has become confusing for both students and practitioners alike. This text provides a framework for making sense of the field. In Part One, Gayle C Avery integrates a fragmented field into four broad paradigms or forms of leadership, helping to simplify and clarify the ill-defined field of leadership. The second part provides 10 case studies from leading organisations across Europe, Australia and the United States to illustrate how diverse leadership can be in successful organizations. The book covers topics on understanding leadership, leadership paradigms, micro-level leadership theories, emotion in leadership, macro-level leadership, natural leadership, people chemistry, commanding new and working with vision.
