MACMILLAN Authentic Leadership and Followership - Palgrave Macmillan

Explore new dimensions of leadership with Authentic Leadership and Followership: International Perspectives. This volume from the Palgrave Studies in Leadership and Followership series addresses two significant gaps in current academic research: international contexts and the perspective of the follower. While the concept of authenticity has roots in Greek philosophy, modern scholars only began deep study into the topic in the 1990s. This collection provides a modern look at the subject by combining empirical research with theoretical contributions. Readers will gain a better understanding of how authenticity functions across different global cultures. This book examines essential components of the leadership dynamic, including leader self-awareness, gender, and psychological capital. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals looking to understand the relationship between leaders and their followers through a global lens.
