Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

This brilliant, up-to-date compendium argues that the most successful factor in company life is good people: individuals who are capable, competent, and savvy. Can corporate life attract such people? Ginzberg argues that despite demographic dislocations and the challenges to the work ethic, the answer to this question is a loud yes. In Executive Talent, Ginzberg and his colleagues show how to attract, train, and promote a superior work force, and how to take advantage of the different values in today's employees. Over 25 percent of the population currently graduates from a senior college, and the number going for advanced degrees is climbing. Blacks and Hispanics together will soon account for one in every four new native-born job applicants. Women are now nearly as prevalent in the work force as men. Today's employees place more emphasis on family and leisure, and less on company loyalty. In the face of these critical changes, companies can no longer continue with the same human resource policies. Ginzberg offers new approaches to attract and retain superior talent. In Executive Talent, Ginzberg brings together top academics and high level executives to explore the new world of work. They discuss coming trends and changes that will reshape the talent pool, how these shifts will impact the individual company, and ways to develop and implement a human resource strategy to meet the challenging work force of the future.
