• The Leadership Challenge (HD57.7 .K68)
  by James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner
  Building on the knowledge base of their previous books, the third edition of The Leadership Challenge is grounded in extensive research and based on interviews with all kinds of leaders at all levels in public and private organizations from around the world. In this edition, the authors emphasize that the fundamentals of leadership are the same today as they were in the 1980s, and as they've probably been for centuries. In that sense, nothing's new. Leadership is not a fad. While the content of leadership has not changed, the context has-and in some cases, changed dramatically. Description from publisher.  Look inside!
• Person-Centered Leadership for Nonprofit Organizations: Management That Works in High Pressure Systems (HD62.6 .P63)
  by Susan E. Lewis, Jeanne M. Plas
  This text for students of and professionals in the nonprofit sector describes an unusual approach to participatory management in which employees are given the same amount of attention as the product, service, or client. Through a case study account of an award-winning nonprofit organization, the authors (both, Vanderbilt U.) present evidence that this strategy leads to improved employee morale and reduced organizational stress. Plas has specialized in leadership and emotions in the workplace throughout her academic career, and Lewis is completing her dissertation in community psychology. Description from publisher.
