{"product_id":"9782802743507","title":"Training for Leadership","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf the needs for training for leadership are recognized as urgent, we need to ask whether the training institutes are doing the right things and question the\u003cstrong\u003e effectiveness of training institutions\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book calls for a \u003cstrong\u003eserious and critical reflection\u003c\/strong\u003e on the way in which we conceptualize training for leadership in the second decade of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe different chapters reflect the \u003cstrong\u003eideas, theories and practices\u003c\/strong\u003e being dominant today. The thread of the contents show that something is amiss in such training. In general it does not have the expected effects and it often does not address the needs of recipients. The implication is that\u003cstrong\u003e training for leadership\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ein the future has to be redefined\u003c\/strong\u003e taking into account the specific contingencies, problems and complexities, leaders – especially in developing countries – have to deal with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLeadership cannot be seen as an isolated factor. The different chapters in this book argue that \u003cstrong\u003etraining for effective leadership and good governance practices need to be combined\u003c\/strong\u003e. All ask for leadership that is less hierarchical and more interactive, collaborative, and takes also stakeholders outside the public sector seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis has serious implications for the question \u003cstrong\u003ehow leadership training is organized\u003c\/strong\u003e ; the different chapters of this volume address this issue from \u003cstrong\u003ea theoretical as well as an empirical point of view\u003c\/strong\u003e : developments in theorizing about leadership, styles of public sector leadership, leadership in turbulent times and the importance of contingences on leadership in changing times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruylant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158324560112,"sku":"9782802743507","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782802743507_p0.jpg?v=1763702167","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782802743507","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
