This book serves as an instructional tool for development of skills related to the organizational leadership of adults. The text offers teaching cases that explicitly partner the leadership and adult development literature bases so readers can work to apply leadership for adult development to real-world scenarios. Case Studies in Leadership and Adult Development: Applying Theoretical Perspectives to Real World Challenges consists of 19 chapters, organized into three parts. Part I includes four chapters drawn from business and industry leaders' experiences encompassing cases from nonprofit, for-profit, and non-governmental agencies. Part II delves into three chapters that focus on the challenges of leading through crisis, including how the Coronavirus pandemic shapes decision making and impacts leadership in both K - 12 and higher education environments. Part III offers a comprehensive view of education through 12 chapters, four of which are drawn from higher education settings. Part III's balance includes cases from elementary, middle, and secondary schools and district-level leadership. Written for graduate level courses in adult education, each case focuses on at least one major theory from both the leadership and adult development domains. Including questions for discussion and reflection, the book allows students to explore the linkages between leadership theories and adult development theories within the context of real-world scenarios.

This book of case studies is designed to serve as a resource guide to help higher education students apply higher education leadership and management theories to practice, and to allow them to actively engage in working through diverse institutional issues within assorted institutional contexts. Though this collection of cases was initially created to facilitate the application of theory to practice in small group discussions, individual cases can be easily utilized for more formalized written responses. The cases have been thematically organized within the following broad leadership and management categories: 1) leadership issues; 2) addressing mental health issues; 3) moments of crisis and campus safety; 4) technology in academia; 5) academic freedom; 6) campus diversity; 7) strategic planning and staffing issues; 8) working with student organizations; and 9) policy issues and fiscal tensions.

Each of the 32 case studies include critical thinking questions that encourage students to apply leadership theory and concepts to real-life situations.

This book examines the well-covered subject of leadership from a unique perspective: history's vast catalogue of leadership successes and failures. Through a collection of highly compelling case studies spanning two millennia, it looks beyond the classic leadership parable of men in military or political crises and shows that successful leadership cannot be reduced to simplistic formulae. Written by experts in the field and based on rigorous research, each case provides a rich and compelling account that is accessible to a wide audience, from students to managers. Rather than serving as a vehicle for advancing a particular theory of leadership, each case invites readers to reflect, debate and extract their own insights.

This book offers students the opportunity to develop and practise the skills needed to make difficult public health decisions.
