1,184 words (approx. 4.7 pages) | 1 source | MLA | 2009 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper critiques Gayle Avery's work, "Understanding Leadership," in which she does not present any new theories, but does develop a coherent direction for a previously undefined profession. The paper discusses the importance of Avery's work and describes her use of simple language in the explanations of the theories that she presents.

From the Paper:

"Avery supports her theories regarding changing leadership styles with examples and case studies from real companies from around the world. It would be difficult to obtain quantitative information to support the theories presented in this book. Qualitative evidence is not as reliable as quantitative evidence for supporting a theory, but it provides a more in-depth look at the situation. Avery's approach moves from broad to specific. She summarizes the various leadership theories in general terms and then uses specific case studies to support them. This approach helps the reader to develop a deep understanding of the subject, as well as a sense of how it fits into the evolving picture."

Sample of Sources Used:
