Leadership: Theory, Application, & Skill Development

AACSB Assurance of Learning Standards: Chapter 1 includes the new list published in 2014. Each Developing Your Leadership Skills Exercise identifies the AACSB skills and competencies to be practiced through completion of the exercise.

Step-by-Step Models: Several sets of how-to steps for handling day-to-day leadership functions are integrated into the context of the chapter or skill-building exercises, giving students a proven model to follow as leaders, including writing objectives, giving praise, coaching, resolving conflict, and delegating.

Work Applications: These questions bring the leadership concept into the student's world by asking them to apply concepts to their own work experiences, either full-time, part-time, or summer jobs.

Leadership Skill Development: Unlike competitors' exercises that are simply discussion-oriented, the exercises in LEADERSHIP 6e develop leadership skills students can employ immediately in their personal and professional lives.
