PREFACE

Many leaders have recently had their assumptions challenged about how organiza- tions succeed. Leaders are struggling to make sense of the shifting environment and to learn how to lead the people in their companies effectively and successfully in the midst of turmoil. The crisis in the housing, mortgage, and finance industries and resulting recession; volatile oil prices; ethical scandals; political turmoil; and other events have dramatically shifted the organizational and economic landscape. This edition of The Leadership Experience addresses themes and issues that are directly relevant to the current turbulent environment. My vision for the seventh edition is to give students an exciting, applied, and comprehensive view of what leadership is like in today’s world. The Leadership Experience integrates recent ideas and appli- cations with established scholarly research in a way that makes the topic of leader- ship come alive. Organizations are undergoing major changes, and this textbook addresses the qualities and skills leaders need in this rapidly evolving world.

Recent chaotic events, combined with factors such as a growing need for creativity and innovation in organizations, the rise of social media, the growth of e-business and mobile commerce, the use of virtual teams and telecommuting, glob- alization, the growing problem of cybercrime, and other ongoing transformations place new demands on leaders that go far beyond the topics traditionally taught in courses on management or organizational behavior. My experiences teaching lead- ership to students and managers, and working with leaders to change their organiza- tions, have affirmed for me the value of traditional leadership concepts while highlighting the importance of including new ideas and applications.

The Leadership Experience thoroughly covers the history of leadership studies and the traditional theories but goes beyond that to incorporate valuable ideas such as leadership vision, shaping culture and values, leadership courage, and the impor- tance of moral leadership. The book expands the treatment of leadership to capture the excitement of the subject in a way that motivates students and challenges them to develop their leadership potential.

NEW TO THE SEVENTH EDITION A primary focus for revising The Leadership Experience, seventh edition, has been to relate leadership concepts and theories to real events in today’s turbulent environ- ment. Each chapter has been revised and updated to bring in current issues and events that leaders are facing.

Topics and application examples that have been added or expanded in the sev- enth edition include:
