Understand the reality of contemporary organizational leadership with the third edition of this critical, thought-provoking textbook.
Through an analysis of key theories and topical issues such as innovation, gender, power, ethics and environmental sustainability, the authors deftly illustrate how leadership cannot be extricated from the wider organizational context and why leadership is increasingly seen as a shared endeavour between leaders and followers.
Key updates to this edition include:
- New chapter on Leading During Conflict and Extreme Contexts
- New chapter on Dark Leadership
- New content on Artificial Intelligence is now woven throughout each chapter
- Eleven new case studies, including case studies on Harrods, the Norwegian police service, Saudi Arabia, AI development, Generative AI and urban renewal in Bilbao.
This is an essential guide to leadership for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners working in the field.
