Snapshots of Great Leadership (Leadership: Research and Practice)

Snapshots of Great Leadership offers a thorough look into leaders who have either accomplished amazing feats or brought destruction. Now in its third edition, this key volume explores what it means to be a great leader, and clearly explains the lives, triumphs and challenges of a range of diverse leaders across history and into the modern day. Packed into easily digestible chapters, the authors demonstrate how although the goals of these individuals were often quite different, the leadership processes they used were frequently similar. The opening chapter explains the latest theories of leadership and this new edition features one new leadership theory, Authentic Leadership, as well as recent research findings on the most popular theories. The authors have replaced nine leaders from earlier editions with new leaders including Elon Musk, Maria Montessori and Virginia Hall. These new leaders exemplify unique leadership attributes and outstanding leadership effectiveness. Each leader snapshot adds an important "reality check" to the theories and models described in most introductory leadership textbooks, making this a key text for students taking leadership courses. Scholars and students of leadership and management, will benefit from this accessible and comprehensive volume, as will leadership practitioners looking to reflect on and develop their own leadership skills. Offering valuable insights into the lives of historical and corporate leaders, the book is a compelling read for casual readers as well.
