Leadership in Organizations: Current Issues and Key Trends - Tapa blanda

Praise for the previous edition:

'Leadership in Organizations is a particularly thought-provoking book... Storey and his collaborators have performed a valuable service by providing us with a more practical route through what often seems like an almost impenetrable forest of leadership scholarship and debates.' - The Journal of Industrial Relations

'A useful, well-written, well-edited and thought-provoking book.' - Human Resource Management Journal

Leadership has proved a tricky beast to pin down and the subject has been approached from a variety of perspectives over the years. The beauty of this textbook lies in its role as an illustrative guide though the wilds of an elusive discipline.
