[CLOSED] Win a copy of "Authentic Leadership"

Win a copy of "Authentic Leadership" - This month we are giving away a copy of Authentic Leadership, edited by Donna Ladkin and Chellie Spiller. To enter the draw, please email your name and address to Alumni Relations Manager Mandy Allan. The winner will be notified on 5 December 2014. What is authentic leadership? Does it require a leader to express his or her true self even if that true self is less than "wonderful"? How do followers know the difference between real and fake leaders anyway? What happens when cultural expectations of what constitutes authenticity clash? Can a leader be "authentic" within virtual contexts? More than 40 international scholars and practitioners from the fields of philosophy, sociology, psychology, leadership, business, and the arts address these and other provocative questions, often with surprising results, in this timely reassessment of the theory and practice of authentic leadership. Among the contributors are Brigid Carrol, Helen Nicholson, and Chellie Spiller from the University of Auckland Business School. An invaluable resource for academics and graduate students in leadership and management studies, cultural studies, and politics, the book emphasises the relational and contextual factors contributing to authentic leader-follower interactions. Human resource practitioners and leadership developers will also find much of practical relevance in Authentic Leadership, which is grounded in practical examples and stories from both public and private sector organisations. Editors Donna Ladkin is Professor of Leadership and Ethics at the Cranfield School of Management in the UK. The author of Rethinking Leadership (2010), she is currently writing Mastering the Ethical Dimension of Organisations, which uses arts-based methods to develop ethical astuteness. Chellie Spiller is a Lecturer in the University of Auckland Business School's Department of Management and International Business. She was a Fulbright senior scholar at the Harvard Kennedy School and the University of Arizona, and is the recipient of several New Zealand awards, including a 2011 Dame Mira Sz?szy Māori Alumni Award.
