Free eBooks Leadership: A Communication Perspective, Sixth Edition Available To Downloads
Leadership is an integral component of the human experience and of practical importance to all. For nearly 25 years, the multiple editions of Hackman and Johnson's outstanding work have been the backbone of leadership courses at hundreds of colleges and universities. The authors extend this tradition of excellence in the Sixth Edition, which continues to serve as a valuable catalyst for generating new insights, debating controversial issues, and contributing to the ongoing dialogue on leading and following. Hackman and Johnson illuminate our understanding of leadership by approaching it as a communication-based activity. They artfully balance research and theory with practical, real-world suggestions for improving communication competence and leadership effectiveness in small-group, organizational, and public contexts. The comprehensive Sixth Edition adds discussions of organizational politics, project leadership, executive-level teams, adaptive leadership, intergroup leadership, sensemaking, and in-extremis leadership. Readers will also appreciate the expanded treatment of bad leadership, emotional competencies, followership styles, charisma, leader development, crisis leadership, and virtual team leadership. Case studies cover such timely issues as the pink slime controversy, the legacy of Steve Jobs, banning super-sized soft drinks, the scandal at Penn State University, and the Miracle on the Hudson. Abundant examples, case studies, self-assessments, and research highlights enhance the presentation. Moreover, wide-ranging application exercises offer multiple opportunities for readers to review and apply the skills covered in the chapters.

I was pleased to be able to rent this textbook, which is required for a class I am taking. It is rather expensive to have to purchase a book at full price, especially if you are taking more than one class. It's nice to have the option of renting. The book arrived in good condition, as promised. Interesting content. Recommended to those interested in learning more about leadership and how to develop their own skills in this area.
The book may ne strong and useful, however I desperately need to be able to use a VoiceOver, Text-to-speech or Audio book. I was utterly disappointed that no versions of this book were made compatible with text-to-speech by this publisher.
I did not know what I was really going to expect from the book but the title says it all. I really love the book and recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about leadership or being a true leader. Great book!
This is a very good resource for anyone interested in improving professional communication or relationships. I look forward to the next update.
Enjoyable read. This book taught me a lot about the different forms of leadership and a new word followship. I would recommend this book.
It was a text book for school for my daughter but yes, I believe it met her expectations quite well.
This was a must have for my Leadership course and came in fairly quickly!
Almost unusable, constantly crashes, difficult to navigate
