We exist in an era of great change and widespread uncertainty in which course-determining decisions lie with organizational leaders; in this continually shifting climate we require their courage to take action. Authored by some of the best names in the subject area, this book provides readers with an innovative approach to learning leadership skills, and merges theory with practice to enable a better understanding this complex and significant subject. Divided into four distinct sections, it focuses on:
* The Fully Functioning Leader
* The Leaders' Toolkit
* Leader's Approaches to Work
* Developing Leaders. Taking an international perspective, this outstanding text will be an invaluable resource for those studying leadership, organizational behaviour and human resource management as well as those on specialist masters and MBA courses, and will be especially useful for those undertaking the difficult task of leading within organizations.

Reviews for Inspiring Leaders

'An insightful text that considers why past attempts to identify and develop leaders have largely failed, and why the challenges of leadership are rapidly changing due to ever increasing competition, globalization, and the growth of new economies. This terrific overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the leading theories of leadership provides a roadmap for where leadership development must go in the future. Inspiring Leaders lives up to its title -- this unique book provides a rich source of inspiration to all those who aspire to develop their leadership potential.' - Mitch G. Rothstein, Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Richard Ivey School of Business, The University of Western Ontario, Canada 'The authors cover an extensive field of leadership studies in their new book. Not only do they include the latest theories of leadership, but they also discuss the qualities of both successful and flawed leaders. They close by focussing on strategies for developing leaders, including a chapter on women leaders. This book is highly recommended for both leadership scholars and executives responsible for leadership development.' - Susan Vinnicombe, Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Diversity Management, and Director of the Centre for Developing Women Business Leaders, Cranfield University, UK
