Written by a team of experienced practitioners who have worked in HR in
many organizational sectors, Leadership and Management Development
offers students an ideal blend of critical and practice-based
approaches. Drawing on their extensive backgrounds, the authors combine
insights from the latest research with a multitude of cases and
examples. A truly international range of cases--along with examples from
both the not-for-profit and commercial sectors and from organizations of
all sizes--provide a well-rounded demonstration of how management and
leadership work across all areas. The cases are followed by reflective
questions and problem-based scenarios that encourage academic,
practical, and personal development and provide opportunities for
assessment.
Leadership and Management Development also includes separate chapters
on two key issues--ethics and diversity--and a wide range of pedagogical
features and academic references. The text is enhanced by a Companion
Website containing resources for students (full audio podcasts
featuring practitioners who expand on case studies from the book; sample
exam questions with answers; a flashcard glossary; annotated web links
arranged by topic; and further reading updates) and instructors
(PowerPoint-based slides for each chapter; a teaching outline and
answers to questions; and seminar activities).
