Learning leadership in a changing world : virtue and effective leadership in the 21st century
\"In the second decade of the 21st century, it is increasingly apparent that personality power and technical-managerial competence are no longer the primary qualifiers for developing effective leadership. Learning Leadership in a Changing World provides direction and support in the form of the 4R Model of Leadership--a theoretically sound, conceptually straightforward, and educationally powerful framework. The framework and content of the 4R Model replaces the charisma and competence images of leadership effectiveness with a fresh vision of 'good leadership' as virtue-based influence, and provides a developmental framework to put this new perspective into practice.With over a decade of experience developing transformative leadership graduate programs, Dr. McCloskey offers the blueprint for scholars to think with conceptual clarity about 21st century leadership effectiveness. McCloskey introduces the 'New Normal,' the social, economic, and cultural change which has created a fundamentally new leadership landscape of disruptive threats and discontinuous change. This narrative is replacing images of success grounded in charisma and managerial competence with an ancient configuration of personal assets, 'virtue-driven influence.' McCloskey looks to discount developmental fatalism of the Old Normal and argues that leadership effectiveness is available to many, and not merely a few. Learning Leadership in a Changing World provides the theoretical, educational, and developmental framework to help professors, scholars, and graduate students understand modern leadership in light of 21st century challenges and opportunities. \"-- Provided by publisher.

Fact and Fiction in Economics
There is an embarrassing polarization of opinions about the status of economics as an academic discipline, as reflected in epithets such as the Dismal Science and the Queen of the Social Sciences. This collection brings together some of the leading figures in the methodology and philosophy of economics to provide a thoughtful and balanced overview of the current state of debate about the nature and limits of economic knowledge. Authors with partly rival and partly complementary perspectives examine how abstract models work and how they might connect with the real world, they look at the special nature of the facts about the economy, and they direct attention towards the academic institutions themselves and how they shape economic research. These issues are thus analysed from the point of view of methodology, semantics, ontology, rhetoric, sociology, and economics of science.
