{"product_id":"9781606497098","title":"Leadership Talk: A Discourse Approach to Leader Emergence","description":"Traditionally, management theories have taken\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ea psychological approach to leadership, often\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eassuming that it is a personality trait located within\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ean individual. In contrast, the discursive approach to\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eleadership, which is the focus of this book, assumes\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ethat leadership is created through communication\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003epractices.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a leader, this book will provide you with an in-depth\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003elook at an emerging approach to the study of\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ebusiness leadership that focuses on language as a\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003evehicle for communicating leadership. The authors\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eexplore a new definition of leadership as the expression\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eof ideas in talk or in action that are recognized\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eby others as capable of progressing tasks or solving\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eproblems. The practical implication of this view of\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eleadership suggests that leaders must constantly enact\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eand communicate their relationship to their followers\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ein such a way as to be recognized by them as\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ea leader. Inside, you and future leaders will learn how\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eto approach leadership more effectively as a communication\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003epractice that involves and depends upon the\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eresponse of potential followers.","brand":"Business Expert Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48079318319345,"sku":"9781606497098","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781606497098_p0.jpg?v=1776979897","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606497098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
