Leadership: All You Need To Know 2nd edition
About this book
If
you only read one book on leadership this year, make it this one! Leadership
experts David Pendleton and Adrian Furnham present an innovative model for
leadership success in a turbulent world.
When times are hard, leadership makes the greatest difference. This thoroughly
updated second edition shows how to make the kind of difference that all
organizations, both public and private sector, want and need. Early chapters
show the powerful effect leadership can have on organizations; subsequent
chapters present new ideas that are elegantly simple, conceptually coherent and
radically different, based on the best research in the field. The ideas in this
book have also been tested in major multinational organizations over recent
years. The aim is to provide leaders and those who work with them with a
practical guide to how to increase the effectiveness of leadership in any
organization.
