New Features:

• A new chapter focuses on the issue of positive leadership, or morality in leadership. Four interrelated themes—spiritual, ethical, authentic, and servant—are discussed.
• Updated readings and topics throughout bring fresh new perspectives on leadership, including:


• A Cross-Cultural Perspective on Perceived Leadership Effectiveness;
• Contingent Leadership and Effectiveness of Trauma Resuscitation Teams;
• Spiritual Leadership.

Retained Features:

• Part Two includes case studies and experiential exercises intended to facilitate students' ability to apply their understanding of the leadership literature and to work on the development of analytical and problem-solving skills. This section supplements the conceptual material and helps students understand the leadership process more fully.
• Self-Assessment exercises, found in most chapters, give students the opportunity to profile themselves along several different dimensions associated with leaders and the leadership process. These self-assessments provide readers with an opportunity to take a look in the mirror to further understand how they might fit within the realm of leadership.
