Tudor Rickards: Dilemmas of Leadership, Gebunden

Klappentext

Leadership, the practice of focusing and motivating a group or organization to achieve its aims, is a much discussed but often misunderstood concept. Dilemmas of Leadership is a comprehensive and well-established textbook that introduces the subject.

Readers are invited to make a series of metaphorical journeys of discovery, thematically organized around fundamental dilemmas within the field of leadership studies. Building on the success of previous editions, the text uses a simple map-based approach to consider dilemmas such as:

• Is a leader born or made?
• How are tensions between ethical dilemmas and economic self-interest resolved?
• How does a leader's desire for control balance with the need to empower members of the organization?
• This fourth edition is fully updated with a range of new up-to-date practical examples and new coverage on digital transformation and sustainability. The AI revolution has also created new dilemmas which are addressed in updated materials throughout the book, but particularly in the chapters on creative leadership and emerging issues. Pedagogy to support learning includes mini-cases, quizzes, exercises, and boxes.
• This textbook is essential reading for Masters and MBA students on leadership courses, as well as managers pursuing leadership development.
