Leadership
An examination of theoretical and empirical directions in leadership in business, industry, and government, this collection of symposium papers presents a view of the much-discussed but little-researched charismatic leadership notion. Four major divisions include discussion and summary integrating material, thus providing review, evaluation, and perspective on leadership, along with critiques advanced by participants. A final section presents an overview of the "sharpeners" and "levelers"--those approaches seen as productive in new directions and those seen as probable dead ends in terms of advancing the field. Contributors include Kathryn M. Bartol, D. Anthony Butterfield, John P. Campbell, Fred Dansereau, Jr., McDonald Dumas, Martin G. Evans, William M. Fox, Robert J. House, Charles N. Greene, Steven Kerr, Arlyn J. Melcher, Marshall Sashkin, Chester A. Schriesheim, William E. Scott, Jr., Henry P. Sims, Jr., John E. Stinson, Peter M. Storm, Andrew D. Szilagyi, and William M. Vicars. This book is Volume 4 of the Southern Illinois University Leadership biennial symposia series initiated in 1971.
Leadership
"... Many practitioners, consultants, and researchers have recognized that there are differing leadership requirements by organizational level. In this volume Hunt proposes a new leadership synthesis that provides an expanded view of leadership based on: a multiple organizational-level approach, and an emphasis on the differing leadership realities involved in the way we gain, use, and assess leadership knowledge in such a multiple-level approach. Hunt's extended multiple-level synthesis draws on a wide range of conceptual and empirical literature. It also emphasizes the importance of not only strategic-level leadership but indirect effects felt deep within the organization. A sophisticated new look at leadership, Leadership: A New Synthesis provides cutting edge material and extensive references for researchers, scholars, advanced graduate students, and relatively sophisticated practitioners." - Publisher.
Leaders and Managers
Leaders and Managers: International Perspectives on Managerial Behavior and Leadership focuses on research on managerial behavior and leadership, with emphasis on present and future trends as well as the need to identify an interdisciplinary point of view in the study of leadership. Composed of 24 chapters, the book discusses leadership and management, and at times puts little emphasis on the differences of both subjects for they are often used interchangeably. The book takes a look at the position in which functionalism can be used as an approach in studying leadership. The text also presents research methodologies that are deemed helpful in studying managerial behavior. The role of organizational leaders and the problems related with efficiently carrying out order in organizations are highlighted. Different types of research models on leadership are also discussed. The book is valuable to those involved in studying leadership and management, particularly in organizations in which these two entities can be essential factors in their advancement.

James Hunt
James Hunt was a towering personality with a commanding presence, a hugely glamorous public figure who brought Formula One motor racing to the attention of a whole new audience. Triumphing against all odds to become World Drivers' Champion with McLaren in 1976, Hunt sank into a period of decadence and depression, only to be rejuvenated as he found true love for the first time. With that came personal contentment and a renewed zest for living, so that one of the most colourful and controversial figures in Grand Prix racing is best remembered by those close to him as a fun-loving, caring man who had a genuinely uplifting presence - qualities that shine through in Gerald Donaldson's compelling and moving account of his life.
Core Concepts of Organizational Behavior
A brief introduction to organizational behaviour that tackles the issues facing today's managers, such as diversity, total quality management, ethics and the global marketplace. It uses a managerial perspective to explore how a manager uses organizational behaviour insights in the workplace.
Out-of-the-box Leadership
This volume addresses out-of-the-box leadership challenges for top-performing 21st century organizations. Topics include: self leadership, teleleadership, interorganizational leadership, leadership networks; cognitively complex, behaviorally complex, and socially complex leadership as well as training and development, strategy and policy, organizational structures and processes. Out-of-the-box leadership is especially important in highly flexible, high-tech, electronically networked global organizations operating in volatile and ambiguous environments. The US Army is a prototypical example of such top-performing organizations and is therefore a major focus in this monograph.
Organizational Behavior
Organizational Behavior is a multidimensional product to allow for student development in knowledge, analysis, synthesis and personal development with pedagogical features designed to bring Organizational Behavior to life. This product reframes the content of organizational behavior to reflect the inherent interdependence of factors that explain human behavior. Traditional OB topics are introduced as part of an integrated framework for answering practically-relevant questions about why people behave as they do and how to effectively self manage and influence others.
Organizational Behaviour
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR Organizational Behaviour, 3rd Edition, builds on the strengths and successes of the previous editions and has been fully updated to reflect changes in the world of work and the context of organizational behaviour within that world. The authors combine a managerial approach, focusing on practical, real-world applications, with a rigorous critical perspective that analyses the research behind the theories. The text addresses alternative theoretical perspectives in parallel to the introduction of new worldwide cases and examples. The concise coverage of the core topics can be applied to both one-semester and year-long teaching and learning patterns. In addition, the tex...
