This work is organized around a conceptual framework for understanding leadership in a diverse organization environment. The emphasis is on three specific leadership skills: communication, followership skills and specific situations including meetings and conflict. This edition includes material on changing managerial behaviour and the role of values and ethics in leadership. The last chapter integrates the primary themes of the text, with sections on total quality management, women in leadership and the global context of leadership. There are also boxed biographies of successful leaders, such as Walt Disney, Gandhi, and Harry Truman.

New chapter (13) Leadership and Change. Organizations are undergoing constant change, and the people working within the system need tools for leading under all circumstances. This new chapter provides detailed information on the leadership challenges faced in both stable and dynamic organizational environments.
Each chapter concludes with a section indicating which leadership skills are most relevant to the content of that chapter, which will help students retain and apply the material.
Suggested classroom activities are found at the end of each chapter to enhance student interaction and application.
Leadership Quotes (formerly known as Highlights) are interspersed throughout the chapters and provide interesting illustrations related to the textual material.
Based on reviewer feedback, the Contingency Theories have been moved from Chapter 3 to Chapter 12 so that students will have more foundational knowledge before attacking this complex topic.
The focus on 3 particular leaders: Madeline Allbright, Colin Powell, and Konosuke Matsushita are interspersed throughout the chapters to enhance the text's currency and integration.
Leadership skills are located in Part V of the text, enhancing the continuity from chapter to chapter and making it more readable.
