Exploring Leadership

Second Edition

By Richard Bolden, Beverley Hawkins, and Jonathan Gosling

Specifically designed to bring leadership to life, and packed with activities, cases, and opportunities for learners to reflect on their own experiences and exposure to leadership both in and out of the workplace. We examine the most important challenges facing current and future leaders, from individual, organisational, and societal perspectives - including tackling climate change, creating healthy, diverse organizations and communities, and making the most of digital disruption. We wrote it for anyone who wants to understand the leadership dynamics taking place in their own lives - including professional education learners, degree apprentices, MBAs and life-long learners as well as UG and PGTs.
