About this title

Synopsis

Understanding leadership skills is important for professionals in all disciplines. However, much of the leadership literature is written from business and finance perspectives, with comparatively little exploration of leadership in the natural resource professions. The dearth of leadership-related publications is particularly evident in fisheries. The book is composed of 68 short personal vignettes linked to current and past leadership experiences and visions for the future, written by individuals representing all aspects of fisheries and aquatic resource management. The vignettes are designed to inspire the next generation of fisheries leaders to lead at all levels of the fisheries profession. The essays are organized into five general themes, although most integrate several themes at once—leadership skills and tools, courage, vision, relationships and teamwork, and innovation. While many books have been written about leadership, this book is meant to provide insights on understanding what good leadership is and how people become good leaders in the fisheries profession. The book underscores the difficulties, successes, and common issues that fisheries professionals can expect to face relative to fisheries leadership. The book will be appreciated by students of fisheries biology, ecology, management, policy, and leadership development, and by fisheries professionals with backgrounds in research, management, policy, advocacy, and industry.
