PREFACE Leadership is a highly valued commodity. Given the volatility in world affairs and our national political climate, the public’s desire for constructive leadership is higher than it has ever been. People continue to be fascinated by who leaders are and what leaders do. They want to know what accounts for good leadership and how to become good leaders. Despite this strong interest in leadership, very few books clearly describe the complexities of practicing leadership. I have written Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice to fill this void.

Each chapter describes a fundamental principle of leadership and how it relates in practice to becoming an effective leader. These fundamentals are illustrated through examples, profiles of effective leaders, and case studies. The text comprises 14 chapters: Chapter 1, “Understanding Leadership,” analyzes how different definitions of leadership have an impact on the practice of leadership. Chapter 2, “Recognizing Your Traits,” examines leadership traits found to be important in social science research and explores the leadership traits of a select group of historical and contemporary leaders. Chapter 3, “Understanding Leadership Styles,” explores how a person’s view of people, work, and human nature forms a personal philosophy of leadership and how this relates to three commonly observed styles of leadership: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire. Chapter 4, “Attending to Tasks and Relationships,” describes how leaders can integrate and optimize task and relationship behaviors in their leadership role. Chapter 5, “Developing Leadership Skills,” considers three types of leadership skills: administrative, interpersonal, and conceptual. Chapter 6, “Engaging Strengths,” discusses the emerging field of strengths-based leadership, looking at how several assessment tools can help one to recognize their own strengths and those of others and then put those strengths to work as an effective leader. Chapter 7, “Creating a Vision,” explores the characteristics of a vision and how a vision is expressed and implemented. Chapter 8, “Establishing a Constructive Climate,” focuses on how important it is for leaders who are running groups or organizations to provide structure, clarify norms, build cohesiveness, and promote standards of excellence. Chapter 9, “Embracing Diversity and Inclusion,” discusses the importance of inclusive leadership and best practices for creating inclusive environments. Chapter 10, “Listening to Out-Group Members,” explores the nature of out-groups, their impact, and ways leaders should respond to out-group members. Chapter 11, “Managing Conflict,” addresses the question of how we can manage conflict and produce positive change. Chapter 12, “Addressing Ethics in Leadership,” explores six factors that are related directly to ethical leadership: character, actions, goals, honesty,

power, and values. Chapter 13, “Overcoming Obstacles,” addresses seven obstacles that followers may face and how a leader can help them to overcome these. Finally, Chapter 14, “Exploring Destructive Leadership,” analyzes the causes of toxic leadership and discusses practical ways to confront and nullify it.

NEW TO THIS EDITION This edition retains the chapters of the previous edition but has been expanded and enhanced in several ways:

First, a new chapter on destructive leadership has been added. This chapter examines the nature of destructive leadership using a framework called the Toxic Triangle, which describes how destructive leadership emerges from a complex set of interactions between the leader, susceptible followers, and the environment. To combat destructive leadership, the chapter provides practical guidelines that followers and organizations can employ when toxic leaders seize power and act destructively.

Second, this edition includes 18 new case studies that illustrate the chapter content and challenge the reader to use this information to solve “real world” leadership challenges.

Third, it includes 5 new leadership snapshots on leaders, including Michelle Obama, Jasmine Crowe, and Elizabeth Holmes, which use stories of the successes and failures of leaders in a variety of fields to illustrate chapter concepts.

Fourth, this edition includes a new questionnaire on abusive leadership that helps students understand the dimensions of destructive leadership as well as their own destructive leadership tendencies.

NEW TO THE SAGE VANTAGE EDITION The May 2021 Update for Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, Fifth Edition, contains the following changes:

The reprinted edition has been revised to align with SAGE’s updated bias- free language guidelines.

A new profile of Harriet Tubman supersedes the profile of George Washington in earlier versions of the text.

25 new Video Activities feature a diverse group of business and nonprofit leaders.

Replacement of multi-select questions throughout the assessments.

More than 80 new Knowledge Check questions.

More than 170 new Chapter Test questions.

Updated student assessment feedback at the end of all Knowledge Checks and Chapter Tests.

Improvements to photo resolution and appearance.

An updated LMS cartridge reflecting the addition of the Harriet Tubman profile and other bias-free language updates to the text.

SPECIAL FEATURES Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice is designed to help the reader understand how to become a better leader. While the book is grounded in leadership theory, it describes the basics of leadership in an understandable and user-friendly way. Each chapter focuses on a fundamental aspect of leadership, discusses how it can be applied in real leadership situations, and provides a relevant profile of a leader.

Perhaps the most notable features of this book are the four applied activities included in every chapter, which allow the reader to explore leadership concepts and real-world applications:

Case studies illustrate the leadership concepts discussed in the chapter. At the end of each case, thought-provoking questions help the reader analyze the case using ideas presented in the chapter.

Self-assessment questionnaires help the reader determine their own leadership style and preferences. Students may want to complete this

questionnaire before reading the chapter’s content. By completing the questionnaire first, the reader will be more aware of how the chapter’s content specifically applies to their leadership tendencies.

Observational exercises guide the reader in examining behaviors of leaders from their own life experiences.

Reflection and action worksheets stimulate the reader to reflect on their leadership style and identify actions to take to become more effective.

AUDIENCE A practice-oriented book, Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice is written in a user-friendly style appropriate for introductory leadership courses across disciplines. Specifically, it is well suited for programs in leadership studies and leadership courses in schools of agriculture, allied health, business, communication, education, engineering, management, military science, nursing, political science, public administration, religion, and social work. In addition, this book is appropriate for programs in continuing education, corporate training, executive development, in-service training, and government training. It is also useful for student extracurricular activities.
