"The most important leader you study in this book is yourself'. With these words, the authors indicate the emphasis on personal development in Dilemmas of Leadership. This textbook provides a reflective leadership development course for would-be leaders, through which readers explore and refine their understanding of leadership, and their own leadership goals and objectives. Acting as guides, the authors examine skills which enable effective 'map reading, map testing and map-making' to support the journey of exploration that the book provokes. Covering areas such as the metaphoric territories of transformational leadership, team leadership, strategy formation and implementation, symbolism, diversity, ethics, and the leaders of the future the authors emphasize a critical approach which seeks out and addresses important and hard-to-resolve dilemmas, with which all leaders have to grapple. These include: "" dilemmas of trust and control "" the economic consequences of principled actions "" dependency patterns induced through 'strong' leadership "" the dilemma of self-destructive leadership With the use of case examples and test-yourself vignettes designed for use within leadership courses, and with a structured, insightful writing style, this text is essential reading for all those with an interest in leadership."
