Beskrivning

Authenticity is key for successful leaders—they remain true to themselves, drawing strength from their diverse constellation of experiences, perspectives, and heritages. Leadership invites you to challenge traditional norms about leader identity and develop your own positive leadership behaviors.

This book’s transformational approach empowers you to critically examine your beliefs, values, and experiences, fostering a reflective self-knowledge base, an appreciation for multiple perspectives, and a sense of personal agency. It offers a clear, concise overview of leadership, emphasizing that there isn’t a single best way to lead; true leadership emerges from within.

Your learning is supported by over 30 in-text activities and self-assessment quizzes designed to reframe your past experiences as leadership interventions and draw out valuable self-knowledge. This book is ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate Leadership students.

Andrei A. Lux is a Lecturer in Leadership at the School of Business and Law, Edith Cowan University.

Recensioner i media

I want to start by saying I’ve never used a textbook when teaching leadership, but that is changing now. What struck me from Lux’s work is that it is comprehensive and accessible. I don’t need to assign two articles – one explaining the theory and one critiquing it – because Lux has that for each theory in his book. Even explaining "commercially motivated pseudoscience". I don’t have to trawl through the internet to find activities to develop learner’s leadership skills, Lux has them all in links and QR codes ready to go. The conversational style of the writing hooks you in where you feel like you are having a conversation with Lux about the intricacies of leadership, and you are taken on a journey through research and practice, and where you end up is a better leader and more knowledgeable than any other text I’ve read on the market.
