Readers will benefit from the text's rich use of cases and examples of real-life tensions, challenges and successful outcomes of leadership practice.

Rezensionen

'In this volume the redoubtable John Storey has done it again: assembling a first-rate cast of contributors and getting them to deliver their best work. This new edition of Leadership in Organizations tells us where the frontline in our knowledge about leadership is, in both public and private organisations, and where it is going. A real gem - highly recommended.' - Paul 't Hart, Utrecht University and Netherlands School of Public Administration, The Netherlands
