Youndt's new book explores leadership issues
Mark A. Youndt, associate professor of Management and Business, is co-editor (with
William E. Rosenbach and Robert L. Taylor) of the seventh edition of Contemporary Issues in Leadership, published earlier this month by Westview Press.
According to a write-up on Amazon.com, "Reviewing hundreds of articles published since the sixth edition, William Rosenbach, Robert Taylor, and new coeditor Mark Youndt have collected the latest essays to clearly communicate the contradictions and paradoxes of leadership from historical to contemporary perspectives and global to individual considerations. The interdisciplinary approach to presentations of cutting-edge research and applications of leadership set this book apart from other collections."
Warren Bennis of the University of Southern California says this new edition is "the single best book of readings on leadership around?by far." And Leadership author James MacGregor Burns calls the book"A wide-ranging, sophisticated, and illuminating collection of recent work on leadership, brilliantly reflecting the important progress that has been made and laying the groundwork for the even more important work that lies ahead."
