Features: Leadership studies are one of the important courses for administrative management and enterprise management majors. Based on the research achievements of leadership studies both domestically and internationally, this textbook systematically analyzes and demonstrates the meaning and essence of leadership, leadership philosophy and theory, leadership structure and process, leadership methods and content, leadership subjects, as well as leadership environment, leadership system, and leadership effectiveness from two levels—scientific and artistic aspects of leadership—through six parts: Conceptual, Theoretical, Main Body, Process, Social, and Future. The textbook features an innovative structure, well-justified analysis, solid theoretical foundation, and high practical value. Compared to the first edition, the second edition has significantly expanded its content, adding approximately 80 pages. New sections and chapters on female leaders, followers, and cross-cultural leadership have been included, and content that was previously imprecise or unclear has been rewritten or revised. As part of the Fudan University MPA (Master of Public Administration) series, this book is suitable not only as a basic textbook for MPA courses but also as a professional textbook for undergraduate and associate degree programs in administrative management, as well as for leadership training programs.
