Leadership Theory

Leadership Theory: Cultivating Critical Perspectives, 1st Edition, examines core models in leadership studies through an analytical framework. The textbook deconstructs and reconstructs established concepts in a developmental manner to enhance practice and advance social justice.

Coverage spans foundational paradigms and contemporary frameworks, from person-centered and group-centered models to theories of production, effectiveness, and transformation. Key concepts include trait-based leadership, situational leadership, and the Social Change Model of Leadership Development.

To connect conceptual discussions to practical realities, the volume incorporates counter-narratives from leaders across diverse fields, including Eboo Patel, Mary Morten, and Felice Gorordo.
