Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience Summary

Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience by Richard Hughes

Leadership: Enhancing the Lessons of Experience, 6/e consists of 13 chapters and three leadership skills sections integrated into the text. Authors Hughes, Ginnett, and Curphy draw upon three different types of literature-empirical studies; interesting anecdotes, stories and findings; and leadership skills-to create a text that is personally relevant, interesting, and scholarly. The authors' unique quest for a careful balancing act of leadership materials helps students apply theory and research to their real-life experiences. The Sixth Edition has been thoroughly updated in virtually every chapter.
