Organizations are shifting from hierarchical structures to more open networks of people cooperating to achieve interrelated goals. A major role of leadership in this context is to engage participants in the work of identifying, developing, and employing a foundation of values that are responsive and accountable to participants, stakeholders, and society. This calls for students and professionals to develop an understanding of the role of leadership across the organization. Leading Organizations provides a framework for examining and integrating issues pertaining to organizational leadership and helps prepare the student and professional for leading and participating in these new era organizations.
