  This is a revision of a skills based management text that is built around a framework of leadership competency, the competing values model. This theoretical framework integrates four contrasting perspectives on organizing. The four perspectives require managerial leaders to play eight different roles: director, producer, mentor, facilitator, coordinator, monitor, innovator and a broker role. This approach is used as a structure for building managerial skills and guides students through some of the social and intellectual challenges that managers encounter.

  Students now need to gain a realistic, hands-on management education with emphasis on the development of leadership and interpersonal skills. This text suggests that everyone in a position of organizational leadership is expected to play eight basic, but sometimes contrasting, roles. The roles each comprise three competencies, and each competency is conveyed through a five-step learning model (Assessment, Learning, Analysis, Practice and Application - ALAPA). The first chapter of the text details how different management models have evolved historically and presents the Competing Values Model , a theoretical framework of the eight contrasting roles. The final chapter integrates the roles and allows the reader to plan for long term career development.
