An Identity Approach to Applied Organizational Behavior and Leader Development serves as a bridge between education and training for the emerging leader. While grounded in sound leadership and organizational behavior theory and current research, what sets this leadership textbook apart from others is that the authors personalize the leadership development process in an accessible, applied, and experiential way. The materials are coordinated to allow students to enhance their competencies across the range of leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities. While other leadership texts focus on educating students about leadership, this text provides students with a pathway towards developing a leader identity.
An Identity Approach to Applied Organizational Behavior and Leader Development is designed for upper-division undergraduates or MBA students interested in the application of organizational behavior and leadership concepts to their lives. The developmental approach highlights the student's personal identity across their life domains.
Readers of this publication will be able to use their personal leadership skills to manage and motivate human behavior. This text coaches students through self-reflection to enhance self-awareness and solidify a leader identity approach to organizational challenges.
