Opis

If we are to build tomorrow s leaders, today, it would help if we knew what skills, temperaments, and specific competencies will be valuable as we face future needs. What will tomorrow look like? What key factors are we likely to confront tomorrow? If the past is prelude, the world of tomorrow will be characterized by rapid change, new technology, greater diversity, more globalization and the need for lifelong learning. This book will focus on leadership; what it is, how it works, and how complex, multi-layered and multi-dimensional it is. As a political scientist and presidential scholar, Michael Genovese incorporates a wide range of disciplinary perspectives and research on leadership in this book. Students, practitioners and leadership scholars will welcome this new book and its look to the future.

Michael Genovese and Tom Cronin won the 2013 Leadership Book of the year award at ILA in Montral for their book LEADERSHIP MATTERS: Unleashing the Power of Paradox
