Synopsis

Padilla's Leadership brings a more holistic and comprehensive view to the leadership-followership process by focusing on all three of these critical aspects (leader, follower, organizational setting) – something no other book on the market does. Padilla offers the strongest and most contemporary research and theory (as the reviewers have also confirmed) and unique ideas and topic coverage surrounding the dynamics of leaders, followers, and organizational settings.
