Publisher's Note
Reports on the results of surveys conducted within the Australian Public Service, in private sector organizations, and in the National Health Service Trusts. The theoretical framework adopted in these studies attempts to capture the reality of demands made on managers and their responses and contributions to improvements and changes of their circumstances. From a developmental perspective, exploration is undertaken as to whether managers can be grown to be effective leaders. Taken into account are individual managers' attitudes and behavior, organizational circumstances, and the views of others in the organization. Such analysis provides insights into current leadership practice and its impact on present day dynamics. Appendices offer statistical results of studies.
