Titelbeschreibung

An interdisciplinary survey text on leadership theory grounded using critical perspectives Leadership Theory is designed specifically for use in undergraduate or graduate classrooms providing a comprehensive overview of essential theories informing the leadership studies knowledgebase. The text infuses critical perspectives in a developmental manner that guides readers through increasingly complex ways in which theory can be deconstructed and reconstructed to enhance practice and advance social justice. The book uses compelling examples, critically reflective questions, and multiple approaches to concept illustration to cultivate readers' abilities to engage as critical learners. At the heart of this are powerful counter-narratives offering a range of insights on the challenges and rewards of leadership. Narratives represent accomplished leaders from across a broad range of fields including Eboo Patel, Mary Morten, Felice Gorordo, and more. The facilitator's guide and instructor's website supplement this with case studies, sample syllabi, structured dialogues, and learning activities tied to each chapter. Leadership texts tend to limit application of theory to a singular disciplinary context, omit important ways in which research evolves the understanding of theory, and/or lack critical evaluation of theories which diminishes the ability to translate theory to practice. This book provides a much-needed solution to these issues. <ul> <li>Learn the nature, origin, and evolution of specific theories</li> <li>Understand and apply leadership theories using critical perspectives</li> <li>Consider the influences of ethics and justice, social location, and globalization</li> </ul> The rapid expansion of leadership programs has thrown the dearth of suitable primary texts into sharp relief. Instructors forced to cobble together course materials from multiple piecemeal sources will find their much-needed solution in Leadership Theory.

Back cover copy

LEADERSHIP THEORY AND PRACTICE GROUNDED IN CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES "This book breathes new life into leadership studies. Every student of leadership—novice or veteran—will benefit from exploring the implications of Dugan's developmental and critical approach. While calling attention to hidden social realities in leadership discourse —like inequality and injustice—Dugan invites a hopeful reframing of leadership theory and practice and challenges readers to recognize their own capacity to transform the world." —Sonia M. Ospina, professor, R.F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University "John Dugan provides a valuable addition to the leadership literature by introducing perspectives derived from critical social theory as a means to engage readers as critical learners. This is a novel approach to teaching leadership and one that readers will appreciate." —David V. Day, director, Kravis Leadership Institute, Claremont McKenna College "What a fantastic book—I could not put it down! This critical review of the strengths and weaknesses of the best known leadership theories fundamentally enhances our understanding. Its insights are transformative. Dugan offers ways to improve these theories rather than disregarding them based on their shortcomings. I love the notion of zombie theories—you have to read the book to find out what that is! The narratives help ground complex concepts and the reflection questions compel the reader to struggle with the material." —Adrianna Kezar, professor for higher education, University of Southern California
