Product Description
The conventional wisdom is that leaders are born, not made. Author Robert Palestini argues that his experience and scholarly research indicate that leadership skills can be learned. The first chapter of this book speaks to the so-called "science" of administration and leadership, while the second chapter deals with the "art" of leadership. One needs to learn how to lead with both mind (science) and heart (art) to be truly effective.

The effective building blocks of quality leadership are the skills of communication motivation, organizational development, management and creativity. Mastering the theory and practice in these areas of study will produce high quality leadership ability and, in turn, produce successful leaders.

This book uses the case study approach in order to facilitate placing theory into effective practice. Each chapter contains an extensive study on one of ten of the most successful basketball coaches of our times including, Phil Jackson, Bobby Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, Pat Riley, Pat Summitt, and Dean Smith. The book looks to see how these coaches were able to place leadership theory into effective practice. The lessons learned will prove invaluable to leaders and aspiring leaders, whether they be a parent, teacher, school principal, athletic director, coach or CEO. ... Read more

This volume examines issues surrounding the allocation of allowances in the EU emissions trading scheme and the implications for Phase II of this hugely important program.

This special issue of Climate Policy covers the crucial issues concerning allocation, including assessments of the allocation plans proposed by EU member states and the competitive distortions allocation can create for the power and heat sector. The research ranges from detailed country-by-country comparisons to a more generic analysis which puts forward the case for harmonization. Empirical papers, looking at the expected scarcity of allowances in the market, and merging models for the power and non-power sector to project emissions of the covered sector and contrast these to the aggregate allocation volume, are complemented with two numerical simulations of trade and distributional effects, estimating the efficiency gains of the EU ETS in Phase I and assessing allocation and distributional effects in the RGGI context. Finally, an editorial summarizes the findings of these papers and examines how they have informed policy makers in the context of the larger debate. ... Read more
