"The topic of leadership development is both timely and important, and the theoretical directions the authors provide are a new contribution to the field. I really appreciated the new areas the authors brought together from different fields: literature on adult development with literature on morality and ethics with literature on epistemic cognition- a fascinating and informative integration" - Mary Uhl-Bien, University of Nebraska, Lincoln"Mindful of the fragmented approaches to developing leaders and leadership, these authors have thoughtfully integrated fields of inquiry (cognitive, social, organizational, developmental and organizational psychology, identity theory, competency/behavior) in one comprehensive well-documented book." - Laura Santana, Center for Creative Leadership in Latin America, Europe, US, and Middle East"Many books on leadership have one or two chapters that reflect state-of-the-art-thinking applied to a practical aspect of leadership. However, in this book, every chapter reflects the very highest levels of scholarship." -Robert G. Lord, University of Akron
