The Art of Leadership and Supervision
Version 1.0
By Laura Portolese, Phil Upperman, and Robert Trumpy
Included Supplements
Key Features
- Chapter openers contain realistic examples to introduce each concept.
- YouTube videos, learning objectives, and key takeaways.
- Conversational tone and experiential practices.
- Self-assessments for students.
- Customizable.
Unlike most books on the market, the authors chose to cover both leadership and supervision in one comprehensive text. The Art of Leadership and Supervision aims to prepare students for a future career in management by not only discussing leadership from an academic perspective, but also demonstrating how to apply those leadership characteristics and theories to the actual management and supervision of people. In addition, the authors believe that in order to be good leaders, people must understand themselves; therefore, the book focuses on self-assessments.
