It offers a fresh, meaningful perspective to develop reflexive leadership competence that will positively impact professional careers and facilitate constructive organisational dynamics.

"This is an impressive book, targeted at professionals who have or aspire to have responsibility for managing others. Uniquely, the authors highlight what a changing wider landscape means for the career-minded professional. They provide timely and research-informed guidance in areas such as self-management, career development, communicating with others and many other topics. A particular strength of the book is the way in which it actively engages the reader and shows compassion and concern for the challenges they face. The writing is clear and well-informed, and the case studies and 'Development Zones' encourage reflection, further learning and engagement with others. This book will especially appeal to people aspiring towards or occupying early leadership positions but in truth offers insight and wisdom to support individuals regardless of their role in the career hierarchy."
"This new edition is an essential text for any Master's student studying modules on leading and managing people. The authors translate the latest research findings into a highly accessible and topical guide to all the skills required both to manage yourself and your career, and lead others effectively in an organisational setting. The many case studies, examples and exercises throughout the book bring the theories and evidence to life, leaving the reader with a deep knowledge and practical understanding of how to be an effective leader, equipped to face today's challenges. A must-have book!"
