Book Synopsis The Nature of Organizational Leadership by : Stephen J. Zaccaro
Download or read book The Nature of Organizational Leadership written by Stephen J. Zaccaro and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of an organization's top leaders is a critical influence on its overall effectiveness and continuing adaptability. Yet, little current research examines leadership within the context of organizational structure, such as how leaders influence organizational performance in those key moments when an executive's action is critical to driving the organization forward. This book represents a significant contribution to the literature of leadership, combining a contextual approach to organizational leadership with an in-depth treatment of the cognitive, social, and affective dynamics underlying that leadership. The Nature of Organizational Leadership, using an interdisciplinary approach that draws from the work of scholars in both management and psychology, provides a much-need organizational perspective on the problems to confronted by top executive leaders and the requisite behaviors, attributes, and outcomes necessary to lead organizations effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we design organizations in a way that creates a space where employees, the organization, and the larger community all thrive? And if so, where can we go for inspiration to help us achieve this goal? In a time of volatile and complex uncertainty, it is time to learn the lessons that nature has compiled from 3.8 billion years of research and development. Nature is an interdependent, dynamic and living system – just like today’s organizations and communities. Kathleen Allen uses nature as a model, mentor, and muse to rethink how leadership is practiced today. Leading from the Roots takes nature as a source of inspiration to help organizations see a new way of leading and designing workplace structure, applying the generous framework found in mature ecologies to human organizations. Kathleen Allen helps shift assumptions, practices, structures, and processes of organizations to become more resilient and nourishing for all, and, along the way, design the way out of workplace dysfunction and drama. “Leading from the Roots provides a powerful new way of thinking about organizations as living systems and delivers practical leadership frameworks for individuals to learn how to unleash the energy and create innovative, effective teams. -Anne Boneparte, CEO Appthority This book is a must read for organizational leaders who are not only committed to their mission, but equally to creating a workplace that attracts and retains the brightest and the best professionals fully enabled to meet that mission. -Caryl Stern, President & CEO UNICEF USA

Book Synopsis Second Nature Leadership by : Freddy Caceres
Download or read book Second Nature Leadership written by Freddy Caceres and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-20 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership can be described as a set of effective characteristics or habits that one exhibits on a daily basis that influences others. Have you ever stopped to think about your habits and how they impact your leadership outcomes? Habits form when behavior is repeated and becomes unconsciously automatic after enacted on continuously. Quality leadership actions will, too, become instinctive when they are repeated multiple times, thus becoming second nature actions. Since a habit is an avenue that your brain automatically follows, you will need to reengineer some of your thought process and execute new actions repeatedly until the actions become inherent. The actions outlined in this book will be sure to take your leadership success to the next level. The only way to stay sharp and effective in your leadership is to constantly apply the traits that are used and taught by effective leaders. When the traits expressed in this book are put into action and consistently performed, you will soon do them almost without thinking and in turn become a second nature leader.
Book Synopsis The Science of Leadership by : Julian Barling PhD
Download or read book The Science of Leadership written by Julian Barling PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Science of Leadership, Julian Barling takes an evidenced-based approach, relying primarily on the knowledge generated from research on organizational leadership conducted around the world and personal reflections based on two decades of involvement in leadership research and leadership development with executives. While leadership has been studied within all the major social sciences, Barling mainly focuses on findings from psychological research. The first part of the book explains the nature of organizational leadership, responds to the question of whether leaders "matter," and explains how leadership works. A longstanding issue is whether leadership can be taught. Barling explores the debate over whether leadership is "born or made" as well as the effectiveness of leadership development interventions in organizations. He gives consideration to what can be learned from leadership in other contexts such as sports, the political arena, and schools, and devotes individual chapters to topics that include gender and leadership, destructive leadership, and followership.

Book excerpt: This book is a beginning, a first step, in taking leader development in organizations beyond conventional wisdom toward a scientifically sound research-based set of principles and practices. The authors looked beyond their own academic disciplines to bring to bear accumulated wisdom from researchers who have developed well-established and accepted theoretical perspectives on adult development processes in general, then wove in the ideas that have emerged in more targeted research on adult education, development of cognitive skills, identity development, self-regulation, moral and ethical development, and related topics. The authors present an integrative theory that provides a coherent framework for describing an understanding how leader development takes place.

Malphurs begins by defining a uniquely Christian leader from the inside out, from godly character and commitment to pure motives and a servant attitude. He examines the leaders of the first-century church and then discusses qualities such as credibility, capability, and influence that are essential for successful leadership. Each chapter contains helpful questions for reflection and discussion. The appendix includes numerous audits to help readers evaluate themselves on various leadership components. Being Leaders is the first book of a two-part series on leadership. The companion book will address the how-to of building leaders.
