Leadership de Marian Iszatt-White

Leadership

Autor Marian Iszatt-White, Christopher Saunders
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mai 2020

Provenind dintr-una dintre cele mai prestigioase școli de management din Europa, Leadership nu este doar un manual teoretic, ci un instrument riguros de tranziție către practica executivă. Marian Iszatt-White și Christopher Saunders propun o structură autoritară în patru piloni, menită să demonteze clișeele despre management și să forțeze cititorul să privească dincolo de perspectivele tradiționale. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit modul în care autorii abordează 'munca de identitate', transformând dezvoltarea profesională într-un proces profund de reflecție personală.

Cartea este construită pentru a oferi rezultate concrete prin secțiuni dedicate leadership-ului strategic și etic, precum și gestionării schimbării. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de alte lucrări pur academice, acest volum integrează studii de caz din lumea reală care ancorează teoriile în realitatea organizațională imediată. Pe linia practică a volumului Theory and Practice of Leadership de Roger Gill, dar cu un focus mult mai accentuat pe leadership-ul ca practică și pe dimensiunea critică a studiului acestui domeniu, lucrarea de față se impune ca o resursă esențială pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă dinamica puterii.

În contextul operei autorului, Leadership extinde conceptele explorate de Marian Iszatt-White în Leadership as Emotional Labour. Dacă lucrarea anterioară se concentra pe aspectul invizibil al muncii emoționale, ediția de față integrează aceste nuanțe într-un cadru de management mai larg, oferind o viziune holistică asupra a ceea ce înseamnă să conduci în secolul XXI. Abordarea este una directă, orientată spre dezvoltarea unor competențe măsurabile și a unei mentalități analitice.

Descriere

Written by an author team from one of Europe's leading management schools, Leadership encourages critical appraisal of the mainstream viewpoints and personal reflection on leadership experience in a way that is both clear and highly engaging.Divided into four parts, the book brings together core themes and debates within the field and provides a wealth of diverse real-world case studies to help readers make the transition from theory to practice. The first part of the book, 'Defining the Terrain', lays the foundation for subsequent chapters by exploring what we mean by leadership, how it compares to management, and why we study it. The second and third parts of the book build on this, addressing core topics that have shaped leadership thinking for academics and practitioners over the last fifty years; as well as considering the cutting-edge debates within the field and tackling issues such as leadership-as-practice, strategic leadership, ethical leadership, and leading change. Finally, the fourth part, 'Developing Leaders', explores traditional and state-of-the-art development techniques, before encouraging the reader to consider their own leadership through identity work. Leadership mappings in the final chapter assimilate the range of theories and themes from the previous chapters, providing a framework for comparisons and connections throughout the book.In addition to the book's thematic approach, carefully designed learning features invite readers to exercise critical thinking skills and develop their own practice and perspectives on the material presented.This book has dedicated online resources, which include:Student resources:Web links to related sitesLinks to feeds from topical journalsOnline glossary Lecturer resources:Integrative case studiesPowerPoint slidesSuggestions for discussion pointsVideo clips of inspirational speeches and discussions on leadership

Recenzii

This book makes an excellent contribution to the leadership field. It encourages a critical, but also reflective look at leadership practice. The new edition restructures and revises the key debates and introduces new examples that contextualise the theoretical discussion...An invaluable resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate students wanting to explore the importance of leadership within, and of, organizations.
This new edition of Leadership continues to inspire. It's the book that all leaders need to provide them with well-rounded, current thinking in the field that will enhance their knowledge and leadership practice.
An excellent book in which the authors draw on their intimate knowledge of the vast literature on leadership to offer readers a clear, critical and comprehensive guide to the subject. It is well illustrated by case studies, personal views, and summaries of key research. If you want to read just one book on leadership, I recommend this one.
This text stands out from many other texts by offering realistic advice on how to develop as leaders, rather than carrying an implicit assumption that knowledge of theory alone will inform better leadership practice. Presenting a rigorous introduction to leadership theory and the application of scientific research principles, Leadership teaches students the value of credible research in understanding real-world issues.
Iszatt-White and Saunders have produced one of the most comprehensive and stimulating texts on leadership. Underpinned by clearly articulated theoretical models and a wealth of contemporary examples, this text is likely to appeal to a variety of audiences including students, policy makers and practitioners.
This is an excellent introduction to the concept of leadership. It draws on research and real-life case studies to help the reader understand what it means to be a leader in a wide range of organisations.
[OF THE LAST EDITION] This book covers leadership in a comprehensive way. It presents the main theoretical models on leadership and combines them with a focus on a number of key contemporary themes. The book usefully includes case studies and contemporary examples which brings the issues to life and will engage both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
[OF THE LAST EDITION] Leadership gives a broad overview of the field and includes classic approaches as well as recent trends. In particular, it takes a critical approach throughout the book and encourages students to reflect upon their assumptions...It is critical and pedagogical at the same time.
[OF THE LAST EDITION] This book offers a substantial introduction to the key ideas in leadership in a text that is relatively easy to read by students and which is well structured into clear chapters.
