Dynamics of Managerial Effectiveness: Theory and Evidence from Africa provides a unique behvioural science framework for understanding managerial, leadership, and organizational effectiveness. Drawing on current literature on managerial, leadership, and organizational effectiveness and an original empirical study in a non-Western society, author Seth Oppong has written this book to capture global voice and to provide a useful guide for recruitment agencies, search firms, and headhunters assisting corporate leaders in forming top management teams. Organizational development (OD) consultants interested in measurement and improvement in organizational effectiveness will also find this book useful. Again, strategic leaders looking for answers as to why their organizations are not performing effectively could also consult this book. This book is also an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate students studying leadership in departments of Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Organization Behaviour, and Human Resource Management.
