This book provides guidance for effective organizational leadership. Rooted in decades of social science research across multiple disciplines, the authors' four-frame model has continued to evolve since its conception, and this new edition has been updated to include coverage of cross-sector collaboration, generational differences, virtual environments, globalization, sustainability, and communication across cultures. These revisions reflect the intersection of reader recommendations and the twenty-first century leadership environment, resulting in a renewed practicality and greater alignment with everyday application. Combining research from organizational theory, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, political science and more, the model detailed here provides real guidance for real leaders.--adapted from publisher's description.
