Are you looking for alternative ways of looking at leadership beyond the prescriptive 'how to' approach that dominates bookshelves - for a book that realises that leadership is a relational activity and will, therefore, not just tell you what to do but encourage to think in fresh and innovative ways. The first edition of this popular and acclaimed book quickly became a favourite among students for the pithy and engaging way in which it guided them through the cacophony of competing perspectives and models of leadership. The Second Edition continues to take readers out of their comfort zones with expanded discussion of hot topics like followership, gender, ethics, authenticity and leadership and the arts set against the backdrop of the global financial crisis. In teaching you how to critically appraise and work with leadership theories rather than faithfully accept them, this book will not merely make you a better student of leadership; it could make you a better leader too.
