Leadership Research Reports 2012
Leadership Research Reports Leadership Book Reports from the Class of 2012 January, 2012 Regional Institute for Health and Environmental Leadership Denver, Colorado 1 Preface Leadership Research During the Advanced Leadership Training Program participants study two leadership paradigms together. After building this foundation in leadership research and theory, each participant then chooses a third perspective on leadership to study. The third book may be about a leader, a leadership model, or a leadership situation. The participant is given the task to become the expert on this approach to leadership. Participants develop a 1-2 page summary of this view of leadership. It may be an executive summary of the book, and/or an annotated model or chart. The goal is to share with others the highlights of, and the most important lessons from, their leadership research. During the Advanced Leadership Training Program the participants teach one another about the leadership paradigms they have mastered. The summaries here are to inspire all of us to explore new perspectives on leadership. The leadership research summaries are organized alphabetically by title of the book and are listed in the table of contents. ii Table of Contents Contents Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage, Alfred Lansing (Basic Books, 2007).
