The second edition of The Art of Leadership combines behavior theory with business practice. Each chapter teaches central concepts and skills in an important area of leadership development. The book is made more valuable and the impact greater by the self-evaluation questionnaires and practical exercises that are used for personal development and class involvement. The Art of Leadship is more than a textbook; it is a "Learning" book that actively involves the reader in the learning process.
The second edition teaches concepts, principles, and skills of leadership in a way that is appropriate for both new and experienced leaders, as well as for the everyday person who must influence others to get things done. Our goal is for you to use this book to develop your full potential as a leader and to become the kind of leader you always wanted to have.
The second edition of The Art of leadership adds theoretical foundation as well as additional exercises to personalize the subject. Topics that have been added or enchanced include leadership ethics and values, human relations and the empowerment of people, the team concept and group dynamics, leader as coach and developer of people, cultural diversity and the global economy, stress in the workplace and adaptive capacity, and performance mangement and organizational success.
