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.
