(7 reviews) Author: Bernard M. Bass ISBN : 9780805847611 New from $52.98 Format: PDFThis edited volume explores different models, conceptualizations, and measures of leader interpersonal and influence "soft skills" that are so necessary for effective leadership. These include the communication skills, persuasion skills, political savvy, and emotional abilities used by leaders to inspire, motivate, and move followers toward the accomplishment of goals. The book emanates from the two-day-long 21st Kravis-de Roulet leadership conference, which brought together top scholars working in this area. The intent of the conference and this edited volume is to increase understanding of the interpersonal and influence skills, or "soft skills," of the leader, to highlight state-of-the-art research on the topic, and to provide clear, research-based guidelines for the development of leader skills.

Transformational Leadership PDF
I can't think of a more influential author in modern leadership theory. This work and the theory that was its genesis is a remarkable convergence of well-reasoned theory and well-designed empirical research.By George A. Guajardo
After this book, you will have a reasonable grasp on the concept of human leadership as it is currently studied in psychology and increasingly in business. It is the perfect companion for anyone using MLQ leadership scale.
First chapter is great, most of the rest is a dry read. I'm using this as a required textbook in my graduat class.By Antonio Avalos
