"The sixth edition of this popular anthology continues its interdisciplinary approach to the topic of leadership. Reviewing hundreds of articles published since the fifth edition, William Rosenbach and Robert Taylor collected new, quality essays describing components of leadership such as vision, values, culture, development, and outcomes. This new material, combined with classic essays from prior editions, forms a collection of work that clearly illustrates the contradictions and paradoxes of leadership from historical to contemporary perspectives and global to individual considerations. The interdisciplinary approach to presentations of cutting-edge research and applications of leadership set this book apart from other collections." Publisher's description.
