Gordon and Joyce K. Berry ; with a foreword by Norman L. Christensen, Jr1st ed.New Haven Yale University Pressc20061 online resource (193 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780300108910 0300108915 Includes bibliographical references (p. [153]-156) and index.Becoming an essential leader -- Leaders see today's world -- Essential leadership attributes -- Solving environmental problems : long times and complexity -- Solving environmental problems : emotion, values, integration, and focus -- From old leadership to essential leadership -- Installing essential leadership in your life and organization -- Lessons from popular leadership books -- Essential leadership now and in the future.The important new approach to leadership that John Gordon and Joyce Berry explain in this book is built upon the experiences of environmental and natural resource organizations as they contend with complex, long-term problems. But the lessons learned apply beyond these groups--to all modern organizations, for-profit and non-profit, that are dealing with the complicated conditions of the twenty-first century.Leadership is a learned skill and can be acquired by anyone willing to make the effort, say the authors. And, through case studies of a variety of organizations, they emphasize that all members of productive groups must be ready to take the lead when their specific skills are most relevant to the problem at hand. The authors analyze how organizations and individuals can adopt this new leadership mode, and they discuss the results of a recent survey of leadership ideas and attitudes among active environmental leaders. Shifting emphasis away from celebrated leaders on the world stage, Gordon and Berry focus on "essential" leadership-the kind that engages each member of an organization on an everyday basis.Environmental responsibilityStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesConservation leadershipStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesLeadershipStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesEnvironmental responsibilityStudy and teaching (Higher)Conservation leadershipStudy and teaching (Higher)LeadershipStudy and teaching (Higher)333.72/0684Gordon J.
