The Nature of Leadership - Tapa blanda

I found the 2nd Edition of The Nature of Leadership to be a thorough examination of leadership with an additional focus on prompting researchers and practitioners to move toward theory integration as a means of further advancing the study in this field. Theory building and theory integrationinvolving levels of analysis is no simple task to accomplish, but The Nature of Leadership provides an excellent road map for those interested in both.
