Opis: The Selfless Leader - Stephen Brookes

What are the key differences between individual and collective leadership? Is selfless leadership achievable? Leadership has traditionally focused on the individual. Recent research however argues that collective leadership is more agile and responsive to the complex requirements of modern organizations - especially in the public sector. Collective leadership therefore offers an alternative perspective that brings a fresh dimension to the understanding of leadership. The Selfless Leader explores leadership through the collective lens. It provides a brief historical background to the development of leadership as a discipline and discusses the evolution and applications of collective leadership. It is grounded in solid academic research and illustrated with topical real-work examples and case studies. This is a unique and highly topical text that approaches leadership through fresh eyes. It is the perfect resource for leadership students, lecturers and practitioners alike. 'This is a stimulating read for all students of leadership, and sheds new light through old windows. Established theories are explained and critically reviewed with clarity, and the author proposes a fresh philosophy of leadership for the 21st century.' - Bob Meakin, University of Chester, UK 'This timely book repositions the leadership debate for the 21st Century. Ideal reading for final year undergraduates and MBA students.' - Christine Butler, Kingston University, UK This is an excellent guide for leaders striving to be more effective and comfortable in their leadership role, and is essential for anyone who enjoys applying the research behind leadership - it is a must read!' - Ricardo Anderson, The International Business School of Scandinavia, DenmarkIntroduction 1.
