About this title

Synopsis

Regardless of one’s formal leadership title, academic major, or desired career path, leadership and communication are critical for success.

Leadership: Communication and Social Influence in Personal and Professional Contexts invites the reader to develop a more comprehensive understanding of leadership and the dynamics that occur between leaders and followers through communication. This book provides a point of entry into the study of leadership theory and practice and can be useful as readers interrogate what leadership means, why it matters, and the ways that one can improve his or her effectiveness as a leader―all of which involve a deeper, more nuanced, and greater appreciation for communication.

• Presents key considerations for thinking through one’s understanding of and approach to leadership.
• Analyzes possible leadership situations one may encounter in groups, teams, organizations, and communities
• Provides a variety of strategies, tools, and models for applied leadership practice that are rooted in communication theory.
