Leadership @ BCIT Library

With the swearing in of Canada’s 23rd prime minister this week, there is much discussion about the qualities and style of leadership he will bring to office. But how does one define effective leadership in government? Or in business? In education? And how have ideas of what it means to lead changed over time? Are there people who should (or should not) take on a leadership role?

BCIT Library has an extensive collection of material, both in print and online, on this fascinating topic. For a sample, check out our SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS LEADERSHIP subject guide: http://libguides.bcit.ca/sbl  Our current book display in the Learning Commons (3rd floor) also features some great recent titles:
