More than just a collection of short "greatest hits," this revision is based on a conceptual philosophy - that leadership is not exclusively tied to position in the hierarchy or limited to title and formal authority. Everyone has a responsibility to lead, and leaders need to be dispersed throughout and down through all levels of an organization. This new edition will provide leaders with solid theories - ideas that help them understand what leadership is and isn't - as well as useful strategies for leading, an appreciation for the power of context, and a strong sense of self as a leader.
