Leadership and Organizational Culture: New Perspectives on Administrative Theory and Practice

By John E. Corbally

Book Overview

"This volume makes a special contribution to organizational analysis
by developing the community element's influence on action and outcomes
in organizational settings. To understand the volume is to understand
what is meant by the community element and to appreciate its influence
on organizational behavior. . . . The issues are whether or not leaders
really matter to organizational performance, and if they do, how do they
matter? The contributors to this book presume that leaders do matter but]
focus on the issue of how."
-- Wall Street Review of Books
"A thought-provoking and well-written book that elaborates the view
that the three traditional perspectives -- political, management science,
and human resources -- are inadequate for the understanding, analysis,
and effective management of organizations."
-- Harvard Educational Review
