  • A very clear two-part structure helps students navigate this topic, by starting with the basic leadership frameworks before moving on to explore the issues and themes that surround the subject.
  • A broad variety of learning features including case studies (50% of which are new for this third edition), pause for thought boxes, and questions encourage students to apply theory to practice, to think more critically, and to test their own understanding.

New to this Edition
