Description
Book SynopsisUsing an engaging case study approach,
Leading for Tomorrow provides readers with real-world examples that will help them reflect on their own management and communication styles. It also shows newly minted administrators how they can follow best practices while still developing a style of leadership that is authentic and uniquely their own.
Trade Review“The authors of this compelling and informative book are to be commended on expanding traditional notions of administration to include the skills necessary to succeed in these complex and networked times.” -- Julie E. Owen * coeditor of The Handbook for Student Leadership Development *
"Eddy and Kirby have accomplished what few authors can – a blend of theories, concepts, cases, and specific leadership suggestions that will engage practitioners AND researchers. Their cases will draw in organizational leaders, while their review of the literature and theory will support faculty teaching courses on leadership, change, conflict, and organizations." -- Audrey J. Jaeger * executive director, Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research *
