Produktbeschreibung
The second part takes the four critical issues arising from these parallel cases (identity, strategic vision, organizational tactics, and persuasive communication) and explores them in detail. One main reason we have such difficulty in explaining and enhancing leadership, Grint argues, is because we often adopt perspectives and models that obscure rather than illuminate the issues involved. The reliance upon traditional scientific analysis has not provided the anticipated advances in our understanding because leadership is more fruitfully considered as an art, or more exactly an array of arts, rather than as a science. Grint's rich and meticulously-researched profiles combine to reveal these Arts of Leadership.
In this book Keith Grint, who has been studying and teaching leadership for over a decade, investigates the notion of leadership in a series of historical case studies and rich essay portraits of some of the world's most famous leaders. The first part considers four sets of parallel cases where leadership appears to be a major explanation of success and failure. The second takes the four critical issues arising from these parallel cases and explores them.
