When Leadership Goes Wrong (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The leadership landscape has begun to shift. Researchers have started to realize that previousconceptualizations of leadership that focus only on the positive aspects of leadership are too narrow and mayrepresent a romantic notion of leadership. A growing body of inquiry has emerged with a focus on the darkerside of leadership. Allowing for the possibility that leaders can also do harm, either intentionally orunintentionally, broadens the scope of leadership studies and serves to increase the practical implications ofleadership research. This book brings together contributions by scholars from several different countriesaddressing topics such as narcissistic and destructive leadership, ethical leadership and leader errors.Endorsement: "Most leadership research has been dominated by a positive, constructive perspective: namely, that leaders are a source of good, and that their efforts, when effective, produce positive outcomes. This book is perhaps the most comprehensive effortto date that challenges this perspective. I cannot think of a topic more deserving of a book, nor of a book better suited to address this vital topic. Irecommend it not only to every researcher interested in leadership, but to all those interested "dark side" processes that operate in all organizations."--Timothy A. Judge, University of Florida, USA
