Synopsis

Whether business, government, or nonprofit, today s organizations require inspired leadership to reach their goals in an environment that is interdependent, global, and rapidly changing. This impressive collection of fifty classic readings is an invaluable resource for aspiring or practicing leaders. Based on the premise that a strong background is a prerequisite for moving forward, Leadership Classics provides a solid foundation in the evolution of leadership concepts, research, and practice from the field s leading theorists and practitioners. Many of the selections constituted major breakthroughs on their topic when first published. Others stimulated important research and interest. All have withstood the test of time. In order to motivate critical thinking and help readers extend these seminal concepts into present-day contexts, the editor has included discussion questions and learning activities in each of the volume s six sections.
