The intent behind Principles of Leadership is to present effective leadership principles through the unique lenses of our various authors, who offer students a wider variety of academic research and professional experiences. This broader view enhances the student experience, providing leadership principles that could be used by undergraduate students in not only their course of study but also their current and future career paths. Three faculty members from participating institutions were asked to co-author this text, bringing together various views and experiences to the basic study of leadership. The contributing authors are Drs. Heather Mbaye, University of West Georgia; Stephen Northam, University of North Georgia; and Matthew Hipps, MPA, from Dalton State College. By including this diverse set of perspectives, the textbook spans both academic research literature and professionally distinct understandings of leadership in practice to create well-rounded learning opportunities for students.
