From the Back Cover

AN ESSENTIAL, PRACTICAL RESOURCE FOR ENGAGEMENT WITH LEADERSHIP CONCEPTS

"While many publications focus on the 'why, ' Leadership Theory: A Facilitator's Guide for Cultivating Critical Perspectives focuses on the 'how.' The authors have done an excellent job in providing tools, lesson plans, and activities that will enhance dialogue on critical perspectives in teaching leadership theory. This is a 'must have' for all who are committed to broadening the leadership conversation."
--Vernon A. Wall, director of business development for LeaderShape, and co-founding faculty, Social Justice Training Institute

"Get ready to rethink and rebuild your approaches to leadership from the ground up! More than just a collection of engaging activities and innovative ideas for shaping leadership development curricula, Dugan, Turman, Barnes and associates offer a master class in how educators can critically examine issues of power, privilege, and positionality in leadership. Applicable across multiple settings, contexts, and disciplines, this guide can be used as a compendium to the Leadership Theory: Cultivating Critical Perspectives book, or as a stand-alone resource."
--Julie E. Owen, associate professor of leadership studies, School of Integrative Studies, George Mason University
