Understanding Leadership by Gayle C Avery
Integrates a fragmented field into four broad paradigms or forms of leadership, helping to simplify and clarify the ill-defined field of leadership. This title provides 10 case studies from leading organizations across Europe, Australia and the United States to illustrate how diverse leadership can be in successful organizations.
Professor Avery’s research contributes to Sustainable Leadership in organisations at the macro level of leadership. She draws heavily from cutting-edge international enterprises that embrace leadership practices shown by research and their own performance to be more sustainable than short-term business-as-usual approaches. She contrasts traditional and non-traditional approaches to leadership, presenting them in new frameworks, such as ‘honeybee’ and ‘locust’ practices; or via classical, transactional, visionary, and organic/ dispersed leadership. The objective of this research is to help managers grapple with issues of contemporary leadership, equipping them with important conceptual knowledge and key tools relevant to executive practice
