Description: This volume addresses one of the most important concerns of contemporary administrative theory and practice -- the culture and quality of administrative leadership and its crucial importance to organizational effectiveness. Focusing on public organizations (particularly those in higher education), the book uses an interdisciplinary approach that will be especially useful for scholars and administrators in education, political science, sociology, and business.
Review Quotes: "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
