Gosling (leadership studies, U. of Exeter, UK), and coauthors Jones, Sutherland, and Dijkstra introduce various leadership styles, approaches, and situations to professionals and students. They cover each style's definition, value in specific situations, strengths and weaknesses, impact, the debates and options involved, and examples, organizing chapters by opposite types, such as accommodating and competitive, authoritarian and participative, change-oriented and continuity-based, compromising and cooperative, Eastern and Western-style, expert and generalist, extrovert and introvert, individualistic and relationship-oriented, long-term and project management, and nurturing and toxic leadership. The introductory chapters detail the evolution and development of the field and leadership definitions, theory, and practice. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
