Description

The highly experienced authors utilize their own ‘Contemporary Leadership Dimensions’ model, which provides flexible and creative ways to enhance leadership learning. The book goes through the components of the model sequentially: self-leadership; people leadership, business leadership; client leadership; and finally, community leadership. This progressive approach effectively allows readers to build their knowledge and pull threads of learning into the next component of the unique model. Each chapter also features cases studies, multiple interactive exercises and discussion questions which helps complete understanding from theory to practice.
This is an ideal text for students starting their leadership journey, or for practitioners hoping to improve their leadership and management skills.
Online resources will include additional exercises to augment learning.
