Descrierea cărţii

This book, a collection of essays from scholars across disciplines, explores leadership of discovery, probing the guided and collaborative exploration and interpretation of the experience of our inner thoughts and feelings, and of our external worlds. By approaching discovery as the product of interaction and collaboration the very idea of leadership is expanded.  The book covers a wide range of topics: from the discovery of the new world from Christopher Columbus to the NASA Space Program.  Contributors include astronomers, historians, psychologists, theologians, and one NASA astronaut.

Caracteristici

This book looks at discovery from many different disciplines and experiences. Many of the authors view leadership as involving collaboration so their work fits in well with the renewed interest in collaborative leadership. Some also stimulate the reader to think about leadership in new ways - discovery as a leadership act
Respected Series and series editors: This is the 3rd book in the Jepson Studies in Leadership series and will have contributors from Cornell, Harvard, Tufts, University of Virginia; MIT and more
