Series: Leadership: Research and Practice

Navigating Leadership provides evidence-based tools and recommendations to develop your leadership successfully. The book integrates knowledge in the areas of leadership and followership from evidenced-based global research and translates the findings into suggestions for organizational best-practices.

Am I leader? How can I grow as a leader? How am I doing as leader? How can I move on and let go of leadership? In a changing world of work, people are confronted with these questions about their leadership every day. This book considers such topics as reflecting on goals, impostorism, memory, experiencing meaningfulness at work , measuring leader performance and the challenge of leaving leadership, to offer ideas and answers to these questions of what it means to be a leader and how you can thrive on your own personal leadership journey. Each chapter provides a range of applied cases, tools and techniques, and critical commentaries to help uncover your leader identity, address personal challenges, and accelerate your leadership development.

Addressing the persistent gap between research and practice in leadership and followership through research-practice translation, this is the ideal resource for professionals, at both an individual and organizational level, looking to support and increase leadership development. It will also appeal to scholars and students of leadership, followership, and leader identities.

"""Am I leader? To whom am I a leader? Should I even want to be a leader? Should others want me to be a leader? What self-aspects best exemplify my leadership? This book encourages its readers to start pulling the threads that unravel their implicit leader identity while simultaneously reweaving the tapestry towards a more explicit leader identity. Don’t expect to simply sit back with a good cup of tea ready to be info-trained, this book challenges you to question and revise your preconceptions - so put on your workout headband instead and get ready to flex your leadership muscles.""

""This edited volume is a unique collaboration between scholars from many parts of the world, and across the spectrum from seasoned, recognized leadership experts to newer scholars with fresh perspectives. It dispels the myth that leadership is not a science, sharing evidence-based but also clearly practical findings that will benefit the leaders of today and tomorrow."" Jenny M. Hoobler, Professor, NOVA School of Business and Economics, Portugal, and Associate Editor, Journal of Applied Psychology. ""Navigating Leadership represents the fruits of a multiyear international collaboration among a group of renown leadership scholars. The chapters translate what is known from the science of leadership into tangible recommendations and practical tools to help enhance and accelerate a leader’s development. Leadership matters and the chapter authors explain in accessible and evidence-based ways why it matters and how to use their insights to help oneself or others become a more effective leader."" David V. Day, Professor, Claremont McKenna College, USA. ""This guide to developing one's identity, skills, and purpose as a leader brings together world-class scholarship, evidence-based teaching, and reality-driven examples.
