Leadership and Management Development Summary

Leadership and Management Development by Richard Thorpe

Firmly established as the leading text in its field, Leadership and Management Development is the ideal core text for students on the CIPD PDS qualification and on business and HR degree programmes, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

This 5th edition has been re-titled and revised to focus more on leadership in line with how the subject is being taught today. It also achieves a greater balance between theory and practice, supporting in depth academic and critical coverage with real life case studies and examples from industry. Further improvements include:

  • Third author, specialising in industry and leadership, added to the prestigious line up
  • Expanded coverage of diversity, ecology, ethics and SMEs
  • A more international, global perspective in line with current teaching practice
  • Completely revised and updated references to bring the book up to date
