Curated readings and exercises probe leadership and power dynamics across cultural and organizational settings. The texts address communication, decision-making, ethical dilemmas, and tactics for guiding teams and individuals while offering new perspectives on influence and supportive cultures that foster self-discovery.

Readings on Power and Leadership in Organizations provides students with a carefully curated selection of readings and activities that explore questions surrounding leadership including: What makes someone a good leader? Is our perception of what leadership is connected to our social, economic, and governmental structures? Is there such a thing as a "universal" good leader?

Opening chapters feature readings that define leadership, explore how culture plays a role in perceptions of leadership, and introduce theories related to leadership. Students examine the relationship between leadership and power and learn about the importance of communication and decision-making in effective leadership. Additional chapters cover leading teams versus individuals, managing errors, ethics, and behavior.

The second edition of the anthology features two new readings that explore strategies for acquiring and leveraging power to achieve objectives and how to foster a supportive organizational culture.

Designed to guide students through a leadership self-discovery journey, Readings on Power and Leadership in Organizations is an ideal supplementary text for courses and programs in business and leadership.
