Leadership for the 21st Century

<p>This illuminating study critiques the concept of leadership as understood in the last 75 years and looks to the twenty-first century for a reconstructed understanding of leadership in the postindustrial era. More similarities in past decades were found than had been thought; the thread throughout Rost's book is that leadership was conceived of as good management. He develops a new definition and paradigm for leadership in this volume that distinguishes leadership from management in fundamental ways. The ethics of leadership from a postindustrial perspective completes the paradigm. The book concludes with suggestions that can be immediately utilized in helping to transform our understanding of leadership.

?This book is an extremely thoughtful and meticulous effort to identify the bases for the often cited lack of progress in leadership research, and to offer a way out of this dilemma. Rost's critical, reflexive analysis of leadership studies provides a much needed prod to step back from the frenzied production of research and how-to books and examine how our thinking is limited by broader cultural trends and assumptions.?-The Southern Communication Journal
