What makes an effective leader? This book discusses theories of leadership and provides practical advice for business leaders.

This text provides a balance of theory and practice as it surveys the major theories and research on leadership and managerial effectiveness in formal organizations.

Changes in the Seventh Edition include a reorganization of chapters to make room for additional material while maintaining the unique structure that addresses both academics and practitioners. The text now covers ethical, spiritual, servant, and authentic leadership and discusses diversity in leadership roles.
