| Sumario: | Leadership is a universal phenomenon that has preoccupied scholars, politicians, and others for centuries. In the management context leadership has been consistently identified as playing a critical role in the success or failure of organizations and some surveys have pegged almost half of an organization's performance on the quality and effectiveness of its leadership team. This book begins with an overview of the history and evolution of leadership studies that traces some of the major "schools" of leadership studies that have attracted the interest of researchers since the 19th century and discusses the various theories and models of leadership that have emerged over that period. The book then continues on to introduce cross-cultural leadership studies and the often intense debate among leadership scholars as to whether attributes of leadership are perceived in the same way--positively or negatively--across all societal cultures (i.e., universally), or whether the perception of those attributes varied across the range of societal cultures ("culturally contingent"). The book also discusses cross-cultural competencies of global leaders--the practical applications of the information available from the researchers to the day-to-day activities of leaders in business organizations around the world. |
