About this book

<b><i>Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience</i>, 8e</b> consists of 16 chapters, four of which cover specific leadership skills and qualities covered in each of the book's four sections.

The authors' unique quest for a careful balancing act of leadership materials helps students apply theory and research to their real - life experiences. The Eighth Edition has been thoroughly updated in virtually every chapter.
