Leadership and Charisma
This innovative book explores the universal and cultural foundations that underlie the dynamics of leadership. It asks key questions such as: why are we attracted to leaders? Why do we perceive certain leaders as charismatic? And why do some leaders who are perceived as charismatic during a certain period cease to be perceived as such in another period?
A Study of Current Leadership Styles in the North African Church
Indigenous church leadership is a new phenomenon in North Africa. Until recently, non-Muslim background believers were the only leaders of churches in this region. With the current growth of national churches there are increasingly more leaders from a Muslim background leading to a diverse range of leadership styles. This publication, a first of its kind to specifically explore church leadership in North Africa, investigates common values, beliefs and cultures among church leaders. Using four identified leadership styles the author further expands by looking at the impact they have on congregations, society and the future development of church leaders in the region.
The Peacemakers: Leadership Lessons from Twentieth-Century Statesmanship
In the twentieth century, great leaders played vital roles in making the world a fairer and more peaceful place. How did they do it? What lessons can be drawn for the twenty-first-century global agenda? Those questions are at the heart of The Peacemakers, a kind of global edition of John F. Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage. Writing at a time when peace seems elusive and conflict endemic, when tensions are running high among the major powers, when history has come roaring back, when democracy and human rights are yet again under siege, when climate change is moving from future to present tense, and when transformational statesmanship is so needed, Bruce W. Jentleson shows how twentieth-century...
Les clés de l'autorité
Quelles sont les ressources de l'autorité dans l'entreprise contemporaine ? Quelles sont les situations susceptibles de renforcer ou de malmener l'autorité managériale ? Est-ce le seul levier de motivation d'équipe ? La génération Y est-elle manageable ? Comment faire du management une fonction attractive et durable ? Après des années d'une production considérable de connaissances sur le "leadership" pourquoi aujourd'hui convoquer l'autorité ? Parce que ces travaux ont abouti à la conclusion partielle et erronée que la qualité de la relation d'encadrement pèse sur les seules épaules du manager. Autrement dit, si l'équipe n'est pas motivée ou si le collaborateur n'adhère pas, c'est dans un leadership défaillant, c'est-à-dire chez le manager lui-même, que réside le problème ! Cet ouvrage démonte cette idée en donnant des clés de lecture plus larges et plus à même de répondre aux enjeux actuels de mise en oeuvre de l'autorité managériale. Il ausculte de manière originale les liens de pouvoir et renvoie à chaque acteur (manager, collaborateur et entreprise) sa part de responsabilité pour proposer en retour des réponses pour chacun d'entre eux.

Leadership for the Twenty-First Century
This illuminating study critiques the concept of leadership as understood in the last 75 years and looks to the twenty-first century for a reconstructed understanding of leadership in the postindustrial era. More similarities in past decades were found than had been thought; the thread throughout Rost's book is that leadership was conceived of as good management. He develops a new definition and paradigm for leadership in this volume that distinguishes leadership from management in fundamental ways. The ethics of leadership from a postindustrial perspective completes the paradigm. The book concludes with suggestions that can be immediately utilized in helping to transform our understanding of leadership.
Thinking Differently about Leadership
"Thinking Differently about Leadership asks why and how we have come to understand leadership in the way we now do, and the consequences that arise from these understandings. Its critical interrogation of Classical Greek, Medieval and modern social-scientific ideas reveals troubling assumptions and problematic expectations for leaders and followers, which are key features of leadership theorizing both in the past and present day. By tracing developments in leadership thought over time, this book reveals the influence of ideas from history on current thinking, inviting reflection on what we now seek from leaders and followers. Its unique, multi-faceted analysis identifies non-scientific facto...
Fact and Fantasy about Leadership
ÔThe author provides a thoughtfully explored, wide-ranging description of the literature, and concludes that followership deserves more attention than it has in the past. In focusing on followers as the chief producers of the phenomenon, the book is one of the few attempys to deviate from the common model of explaining leadership with reference to the leaderÕs characteristics and action. This creative and challenging book will be important to social psychologists, sociologists, managers, and political scientists.Õ Ð D. Sydiaha, Choice ÔFirmly grounded in psychological knowledge, based on detailed historical case studies, highly readable, and offering a multitude of examples from many le...
