Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Leadership is becoming increasingly important in the education of football managers and coaches, and this book is essential reading for all coaches and managers wanting to develop their understanding of this key area in our profession.' -- Jim Fleeting, Director of Education, Scottish Football Association 'This book combines academic and, importantly, practitioner literature to help with our understanding of leadership. I recommend it to all who are interested in "leading" in a healthcare setting.' -- Ian Anderson CBE, Former President, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow The author explores current leadership thinking from academia and practitioners in the private, public, and third sectors in the UK today. He examines the theoretical and practical issues of leadership in organizations, discussing leadership from an academic perspective, including the definition of leadership, its etymology and language, the history of leadership research, leadership models, philosophies, and styles, criticisms of the mainstream approach, and differences from management and command; current practitioner thinking within the context of a leadership framework; and comparisons of practitioner thinking to academic thinking. Included throughout are vignettes by leadership practitioners from the UK. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *
