This is how the publisher describes it ....

On few occasions in the history of modern management
have leadership skills been in such sharp focus as
they are now. The ability to direct often very large and
diverse organizations; to make sense of the complex
and turbulent markets and environments in which you
operate; and to adapt and learn seems at an all time
premium.

In the 14 years since the fourth edition of this classic
book, very much has changed. But the need for this
Handbook is as strong as ever and the Fifth Edition
of Gower Handbook of Leadership and Management
Development is set to become a definitive read for
senior managers and those who develop them and an
essential reader for the management students aspiring
to become the next generation of leaders.

The premise behind the fifth edition of this influential
Handbook is that leadership, management and
organizational development are all parts of the same
process; enhancing the capacity of organizations,
whatever their size, and the people within them to
achieve their purpose.

To this end, the editors have brought together a who’s
who of current writers on leadership and development
and created the definitive single volume guide to the
subject. The perspectives that the text provides to
leadership, learning and development, embrace the
formal and the informal, cultures and case examples
from organizations of all kinds; and offers readers a
rigorous, readable and, where appropriate,
ground-breaking book.
