"Leadership in Public and Nonprofit Organizations, Fourth Edition provides a compact but complete analysis of leadership for students and practitioners who work in public and nonprofit organizations. Offering a comprehensive review of leadership theories in the field, from the classic to the cutting-edge, and how they relate specifically to the public sector and nonprofit contexts, this textbook covers the major competency clusters in detail, supported by research findings as well as practical guidelines for improvement. These competencies are portrayed in a leadership action cycle that aids readers in visually connecting theory and practice. Including questions for discussion and analysis and hypothetical scenarios for each chapter, as well as an easily reproducible leadership assessment instrument students may use to apply the theories they've learned, this thoroughly revised new edition also offers expanded coverage of nonprofit leadership integrated throughout the chapters, including in-depth discussions about managing volunteers, fundraising ethics, the nonprofit board, advocacy, diversity and philanthropy, emotional labor, and mission-based leadership, and an all-new chapter section on virtual leadership approaches, designed to help current and future managers cope with the unique opportunities and challenges present by remote work. Leadership in Public Organizations is an essential core text designed specifically with upper-level and graduate public administration and nonprofit management courses on leadership in mind, but it has also proven an indispensable guidebook for professionals seeking insight into the role of successful leadership behavior in the public and nonprofit sectors. It can further be used as supplementary reading in introductory courses examining management competencies, in leadership classes to provide practical self-help and improvement models, and in organizational theory classes that wish to balance organizational perspectives with individual development"-- Leadership.
