This third edition reflects the growth and changes in the study of leadership since the 1981 edition. There have been shifts in both content and method. Senior managers  for example  have become an increasing subject of inquiry. Distinctly separate fields of inquiry  such as political science and psychology  have been joined in this edition to build a broader appreciation of the phenomenon of leadership. Throughout the Handbook  the contributions from cognitive social psychology and the social  political  communications  and administrative sciences have been expanded. As in the second edition  Bernard Bass begins with a consideration of the definitions and concepts used  and a brief review of some of the better-known theories. Professor Bass then focuses on the personal traits  tendencies  attributes  and values of leaders and the knowledge  intellectual competence  and technical skills required for leadership. Next  he looks at leaders socioemotional talents  interpersonal competencies  and the differences in these characteristics in leaders who are imbued with ideologies  especially authoritarianism  Machiavellianism  and self-aggrandizement. A fuller examination of the values  needs  and satisfactions of leaders follows  and singled out for special attention are competitiveness and the preferences for taking risks. In his chapters on personal characteristics  Bass examines the esteem that others generally accord to leaders as a consequence of the leaders personalities. The more general examination of the personal factors associated with leadership has been extensively reorganized and expanded  and increased attention has been paid to knowledge  information  and intellectual ability  as well as to power and political tactics. The many developments in theory and research about charisma since 1974 have now made possible an entire chapter devoted to charismatic and inspirational leadership. Bass argues that a new paradigm of leadership -- transformational leadership -- has arisen that makes possible the inclusion of a much wider range of phenomena than when theory and modeling are limited to reinforcement strategies. Studies of women increased dramatically during the 1980s. Accordingly  Chapter 32 on women and leadership has been considerably expanded over the chapter in the second edition. Completely new to this edition are studies by European and Japanese investigators on the accelerating internationalization of management. Finally  a glossary has been included in this edition to assist specialists in a particular academic discipline who may be unfamiliar with terms used\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280467943477,"sku":"ByrdShop_0029015006","price":37.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780029015001.jpg?v=1780637684","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bass-stogdills-handbook-of-leadership-theory-research-managerial-applications-9780029015001","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
