xiii, 191 pages : 25 cm, \"This book fills a gap in the literature of Leadership Studies by presenting the Leadership Perspectives Model (LPM), which observes and analyzes leadership through five distinct orientations: scientific management, excellence management, values leadership, trust cultural leadership, and spiritual leadership. Operating from the premise that \"leadership\" and \"management\" require fundamentally different sets of tools, behaviors, and approaches, the authors unpack the distinctions and provide empirical, theoretical, and practical insights to improve our understanding of leadership dynamics in a world increasingly defined by complexity, diversity, technology-based communication, and interconnectivity. Presenting a comprehensive review of the field, including a history of the most influential schools of thought, and empirical studies of leadership in the public and private sectors, the authors dispel common myths and misconceptions about leadership and provide greater clarity to its art and science.\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-187) and index, Introduction -- Intellectual threads of modern leadership studies -- The leadership perspectives model -- Leadership as management -- Leadership as excellence management -- The values leadership perspective -- Trust culture leadership -- The spiritual heart of leadership -- Further issues to consider -- Appendix: Research approach and methodology
