While leadership has been studied within all the major social sciences, Barling mainly focuses on findings from psychological research. The first part of the book explains the nature of organizational leadership, responds to the question of whether leaders "matter," and explains how leadership works. A longstanding issue is whether leadership can be taught. Barling explores the debate over whether leadership is "born or made" as well as the effectiveness of leadership development interventions in organizations. He gives consideration to what can be learned from leadership in other contexts such as sports, the political arena, and schools, and devotes individual chapters to topics that include gender and leadership, destructive leadership, and followership.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 164mmItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 588gAuthor: Julian BarlingGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
