A crucial component of leadership is the element of choice. Regardless of how much a person studies leadership, it is essential that he or she makes a conscious choice to accept the leadership role. This book defines leadership, gives examples of research in the field and explains how this knowledge can be used, describes leadership-development programs and surveys, and considers the literature of leadership. Chapters 1 through 4 define leadership and describe ways in which it might be exercised. Chapters 5 and 6 highlight research methods used to demonstrate the impact of improved leadership. The seventh and eighth chapters describe a leadership-development program at a well-known training center, with a focus on the tests and materials completed by participants before arrival and the actual program activities. Various programs in the education and training of leaders and managers are described in chapter 9. The ways in which experience develops and modifies leaders' behaviors are reviewed in the 10th chapter. Chapter 11 examines the uses of survey methods to assess the mood of group members and inform leaders of the effectiveness of their communication programs. Studies of the use of power and position and the outcomes of such use are reviewed in the 12th chapter. Chapter 13 summarizes literature on leadership and cultural differences, and chapter 14 highlights how reported studies can help leaders work better with followers and organizations to achieve objectives. A total of 127 propositions offered throughout the book are summarized in the final chapter. Chapter notes, 8 tables, 6 figures, and an index are included. The appendix contains a list of questions for self-review. (Contains 212 references.) (LMI)

Some of the worst selection practices to be found anywhere can be found at the top of organisations. Even when senior selection is not egregiously bad, rarely is it as good as it could be. Front-line staff and middle managers are selected with much more rigour today than 30 years ago - but not the chairmen, chief executives and chief officers who lead them. So says Douglas Board in Choosing Leaders and Choosing to Lead. Dr Board draws on his extensive experience in executive search and in leadership, coupled with his own academic research embracing the sociology and psychology of scholars such as Pierre Bourdieu and Karl Weick to offer ground-breaking insight into the value and limitations of established selection practice. This book illuminates ways in which senior roles differ from other positions and will help those charged with selecting individuals for senior positions, as well as potential candidates, those concerned with regulating selection policy, and researchers. Examining the classic mix of competency frameworks and selection tools such as psychological and skills assessments, simulations, reference-checking and interviews, the author concludes that senior selection choices are holding back organisations and individual careers, with implications for diversity, effectiveness, and social justice. He contends that while complacent, self-regarding elites will always need vigilant challenge, the scientific approach to selection has weaknesses as well as strengths. Those weaknesses become more pronounced at senior levels, posing particular questions about, amongst other things, the role of intuition and politics.

With hundreds of books available on the topic of leadership, why read another one? For those with the aspiration to become the best leader they can be, you will find this book rich with meaning. Written not as a memoir or biography, but rather a collection of thoughts and experiences, Choosing to Lead is the journaled expedition of Harvey Kanter's pursuit to lead and create meaning. He offers an authentic glimpse into his development as an executive leader and offers an insightful, transparent, and often humorous reflection of his personal leadership journey and the lessons he has learned.Find out why so many CEOs were willing to lend their endorsement to Choosing to Lead. Harvey Kanter has experienced many diverse leadership styles and approaches during his long career serving dynamic, innovative, experiential companies. In Choosing to Lead, Harvey draws from these rich experiences spanning his most recent role as CEO of Destination XL Group, through his tenure as CEO of Blue Nile(R), CEO of Moosejaw(R), Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer for Michaels(R), and as President of Aaron Brothers(R) Art & Framing. He is forthright about his earlier years spent as part of the senior leadership team of learning the retail ropes for eight years at Carter Hawley Hale, all the way back to his college internship working for Target(R) Stores.Armed with insatiable curiosity, optimism, tenacity, and an appetite for adventure, Harvey has navigated many challenges-including a battle with cancer. During his time with Eddie Bauer(R), he was given the incredible opportunity to attend Seattle University's Center for Leadership-attending this university's graduate program made for an unlikely match but was an immensely powerful experience. While there, Harvey's definition for accomplishment was turned upside down, and his perspective of leadership forever changed. He has come to see that the function of a leader is to guide and counsel, to instill confidence and enthusiasm, to create momentum and inspiration for others in their desire to be the best-not your definition of best, but theirs-they can be.This is not meant to be a "How To" book to follow, but more a reflection of "How I Have" and the insights gained along the way. In his constant dedication to improvement, Harvey has enjoyed the rich benefits of that intentional development in his career, his marriage and family life, through meaningful relationships, and in serving his community. Choosing to Lead chronicles areas which Harvey has explored in-depth as he candidly shares what he has learned about SETBACKS, COMMUNICATION, OPTIMISM, VALUES, RE-FRAMING, ACCOMPLISHMENT, CURIOSITY, HUMILITY, TENACITY, DIVERSITY, ADVENTURE, DECISIVENESS, TEAMWORK, and LEGACY.

Shedding new light on how U.S. foreign policy is made, Ralph G. Carter and James M. Scott focus on “congressional foreign policy entrepreneurs,” the often unrecognized representatives and senators who take action on foreign policy matters rather than waiting for the executive branch to do so. These proactive members of Congress have undertaken many initiatives, including reaching out to Franco’s Spain, promoting détente with the Soviet Union, proposing the return of the Panama Canal, seeking to ban military aid to Pinochet’s regime in Chile, pushing for military intervention in Haiti, and championing the recognition of Vietnam. In Choosing to Lead, Carter and Scott examine the characteristics, activities, and impact of foreign policy entrepreneurs since the end of the Second World War. In so doing, they show not only that individual members of Congress have long influenced the U.S. foreign policy-making process, but also that the number of foreign policy entrepreneurs has grown over time. Carter and Scott combine extensive quantitative analysis, interviews with members of Congress and their staff, and case studies of key foreign policy entrepreneurs, including Frank Church, William Fulbright, Jesse Helms, Edward Kennedy, Pat McCarran, and Curt Weldon. Drawing on their empirical data, the authors identify the key variables in foreign policy entrepreneurship, including membership in the Senate or House, seniority and committee assignments, majority or minority party status, choice of foreign policy issues, and the means used to influence policy. By illuminating the roles and impact of individual members of Congress, Carter and Scott contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the broader U.S. foreign policy-making process.

Many people believe that good leadership is a forgotten quality in the youth today. I believe that if we teach students to aspire to leadership they will be better people and students. Simply stated, good leaders tend to be good students. Therefore, if we provide students with a blueprint for how to embrace leadership in the classroom and community we have the formula for closing the achievement gap that continues to divide many students and communities. What many people do not realize is that you must provide Motivation, Openness, Vision, Exposure, Mastery and Engagement (M.O.V.E.M.E.) in order for students to want to assume leadership. In addition, leadership skills are nurtured through personal exploration, reflection, and maturation which can only come from overcoming obstacles in life. What students must realize is that being a leader requires that you prioritize, practice, prepare, and demonstrate persistence daily. Once students finish this Leadership Workbook they are guaranteed to view leadership through a different and more profound light. I strongly believe that once you feed the internal desires and thoughts of students that academic achievement will follow soon after. That is the essence of effective student leadership.

"Choosing to Lead explains why women's leadership is vital to reweaving the moral fabric of American life, and reveals why this resource is still largely untapped. Historian Constance H. Buchanan traces the long religious history of the idea that women's authority extends only to the home, and explores how this formulation continues, in often unrecognized ways, to shape modern "secular" values. She shows how black and white women reformers in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century America were able to challenge moral barriers to their leadership, changing communities and the national agenda with their public achievements. Contemporary women, Buchanan suggests, can learn from this tradition as they face similar barriers to their leadership and articulate their own public vision." "Buchanan argues that women must play a larger role in national affairs, but not as scapegoats for deep-seated problems. Women's fresh viewpoints on both the norms of the public world and the realities of the private one can be ignored only at great cost to the nation. Choosing to Lead makes an important contribution to understanding the crisis of American values and what - and who - can help solve it."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
