Written by a team of leading experts in leadership studies, The Nature of Leadership provides compelling answers to the most vexing questions surrounding leadership: Is leadership measurable? Are there traits that reliably distinguish leaders from nonleaders? Does the situation matter? Are there differences in women′s and men′s leadership styles? Is ethical leadership effective leadership? Are elements of leadership culturally bounded whereas other elements are universal? Does vision really matter? Can leadership be developed?

The new volume includes 16 chapters divided into five parts: Introduction, Leadership: Science, Nature, and Nurture; The Major Schools of Leadership; Special Topics in Leadership; and Conclusion. Topical coverage within these parts include research methods, leader and leadership development, evolutionary and biological perspectives of leadership, individual differences, situational and contingency theories, transformational, charismatic, and shared leadership, followership, gender, identity, culture, and ethics.

CHOICE Review

Editors Day and Antonakis, both academicians, have teamed up to write the second edition of this valuable work. Their extensive literature review, designed to determine the most significant areas of leadership research, results in the organization of the volume into three major themes (parts 2-4), with contributions from more than 20 experts. The volume begins with an introductory chapter that defines leadership, provides an overview of the history of leadership research, highlights biological and evolutionary perspectives, delineates emerging issues, and summarizes the book's organization. Part 2, "Leadership: Science, Nature, and Nurture," includes four chapters addressing topics such as leadership research methods, leadership development, and neuroscience perspectives. Chapters in Part 3, "The Major Schools of Leadership," highlight differences among leadership, contingency/situational theory, transformation/charismatic leadership theory, followership, and shared leadership. Part 4, "Leadership and Special Domains," focuses on issues of culture, gender, identity, and ethics. The final chapter, by leadership guru Warren Bennis, addresses contemporary issues and future research. Each chapter concludes with several discussion questions, supplementary readings (including notes and case studies), and extensive references, all of which makes this book a must for serious upper-level undergraduate and graduate students of leadership. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate students through researchers. M. J. Safferstone University of Mary Washington
