For their support, devotion, and love, this book is dedicated to Maureen and Claudia.

After more than 45 years of studying leadership, Dr. Gary Yukl is highly qualified to write about the subject. His highest academic degree is a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. He is an emeritus professor at UAlbany, State University of New York, where before retiring he taught courses in leadership at the undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral level. He is a member of the editorial boards for several important journals that publish articles on leadership theory and research. His own publications include many articles on leadership, and he has received a number of awards for best research article, most-cited article, and best convention paper. He has also received two lifetime achievement awards for his research and publications: the 2007 Walter Ulmer Applied Research Award from the Center for Creative Leadership, and the 2011 Eminent Leadership Scholar Award from the Academy of Management Network of Leadership Scholars. He has consulted with several business and public-sector organizations to help improve the effectiveness of their managers, and the leadership development programs he designed for a consulting company were used by managers and administrators in many organizations. Some of the practical guidelines presented in this book are from management development programs found to improve the effectiveness of the participants. For his exceptional research and scholarship he was elected a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, the Society for Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and the Academy of Management.

Drawing on his 40-plus years of teaching and researching leadership, Dr. William (Bill) Gardner is well positioned to share his insights on leaders and effective leadership. His highest academic degree is a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) from Florida State University. He holds the Jerry S. Rawls Chair in Leadership and serves as the Director of the Institute for Leadership Research in the Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University. He previously held faculty positions at Southern Illinois University, the University of Mississippi, and the University of NebraskaLincoln. During his career, he has taught leadership and management courses at the undergraduate, masters, professional MBA, and doctoral levels. Currently, he serves as the Editor-in-Chief for Group & Organization Management and as an Associate Editor for The Leadership Quarterly. He has published numerous high-impact articles focused on leadership in top-tier journals and received several best-paper and most-cited-article awards. In 2011, he received the Distinguished Doctoral Alumni Award from the College of Business at Florida State University. In 2015, Texas Tech recognized him as an Integrated Scholar, an honor bestowed to a faculty member who not only demonstrates outstanding teaching, research, and service, but is able to generate synergy among the three functions. In recognition of his extensive contributors to the Southern Management Association (SMA), including his service as President and an SMA Fellow, he received the James G. (Jerry) Hunt Sustained Outstanding Service Award in 2017.

This book is about leadership in organizations. Its primary focus is on managerial leadership as opposed to parliamentary leadership, leadership in social movements, or emergent leadership in informal groups. The book presents a broad survey of theory and research on leadership in formal organizations. Topics of special interest are the determinants of leadership effectiveness and how leadership can be improved. William Gardner was added as a second author for this edition to incorporate his knowledge and perspective on effective leadership.
