NEW Chapter Coverage: There has been a re-organization of chapters. Chapters 4 (now Contingency Leadership Theories) and 5 (now Influencing: Power, Politics, Networking, and Negotiation) have been reversed so that the three major leadership theories (trait, behavioral, and contingency) are presented in this sequence, one theory in each chapter.
Chapter 1 title has been changed to include the skills leaders need. There is a new major section "Leadership Skills" to identify and describe the three important skills that leaders need to be successful.
Chapter 7 title has been changed from Leader-Follower Relations to Leader-Member Relations and Followership. The increasing attention on followers in the leadership literature has led to many academicians and even practitioners questioning why current textbooks on leadership don``t address this topic adequately. We have addressed it in chapter 7 and feel that it is a significant topic to be featured in the chapter title. ISBN - 9788131519455
