(Park, 2022). This passage introduces the concept of Progressive Leadership, which addresses the
declining effectiveness and dysfunctional nature of traditional firm leadership in the contemporary
business landscape. It argues that leadership has lost its credibility and influence, prompting the need
for a new approach. Progressive Leadership examines the prevailing theory of the firm, which shapes
and influences leadership practices in terms of operational decision-making and interactions with
stakeholders, particularly investors. It highlights the need for a new theory of the firm that
acknowledges and rewards a broader range of enfranchised "investors" to maximize their assets for the
benefit of the firm as a whole.

To fulfill their roles and responsibilities effectively, leaders must adopt a more proactive psychological
approach, anticipating the reactions and responses of the firm's most valuable assets: the
knowledgeable and innovative "investors." This shift in mindset allows leaders to better leverage the
potential of these individuals and their contributions to the organization.The book profiles several
notable firms that have successfully recognized the advantages of prioritizing the principles of
enfranchised investors and adopting a psychological approach to leadership. It showcases their
experiences and achievements, serving as examples for existing and aspiring leaders to learn from.

In conclusion, the book provides an action plan that serves as a template for leaders to implement the
purpose, principles, and priorities of the progressive leadership approach within their own
organizations. By embracing a new theory of the firm and adopting a psychological perspective, leaders
can enhance the operational effectiveness, performance, and overall survival of their firms in the
twenty-first-century business landscape.

(Bennerson, 2021). This passage discusses a study that explores the relationship between succession
management and the three leadership styles proposed by the Full Range Leadership Theory (FRLT):
transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and passive-avoidant leadership. It highlights the
scarcity of academic literature on succession management in 21st-century organizations, especially in
the context of the United States.The study aims to bridge this literature gap by investigating the
relationship between succession management and leadership style among senior managers in U.S.
organizations. It seeks to go beyond the top levels of executive management or family-owned
businesses, expanding the scope of succession management research.The research question guiding the
study is: "To what extent is there a relationship between the perceived succession management and
leadership style of managers of Human Resource middle managers in today's organizations?" In order to
answer this question, an online survey questionnaire was administered to 145 human resource middle
managers in the United States. The questionnaire included sections on demographics, the Multifactor
Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) to assess leadership style, and a succession management questionnaire
to gauge perceptions of succession management.

The researchers used nonexperimental and quantitative research methods, specifically multiple linear
regression analysis and descriptive statistics, to examine the data and identify any significant
relationships. The statistical significance level was set at p<.05.The study's findings reveal a statistically
significant positive relationship between succession management and each leadership style proposed by
the Full Range Leadership Theory. Among the three leadership styles, transactional leadership had the
highest predictive power in relation to succession management.

In summary, this study fills a gap in the existing literature by exploring the relationship between
succession management and leadership style in U.S. organizations. The findings suggest that succession
management is positively associated with the three leadership styles examined, with transactional
leadership showing the strongest relationship.

(Nicholas, 2016). This passage highlights the complexity of defining leadership, as it lacks a universal
definition that applies to all situations. Different individuals have their own beliefs and ideas about what
constitutes good leadership and the types of challenges leaders may face. The author of the book
discussed here aims to bridge this gap by presenting a comprehensive understanding of how leadership
functions in modern contexts and providing practical applications of leadership concepts. Accomplishes
this by integrating various theoretical perspectives on leadership into a unified model that can be easily
comprehended by both academics and practitioners, including existing and future leaders. This
integration of theories and perspectives allows for a more holistic understanding of leadership, enabling
individuals to effectively apply leadership principles in today's dynamic environments.

The book acknowledges the need to adapt leadership practices to the demanding settings of
contemporary operational environments, which include virtual workspaces, distributed teams, and
multicultural contexts. By addressing these challenges, the author provides valuable insights and
strategies for leaders to navigate and succeed in such complex scenarios.The book covers several key
topics, including the evolution of leadership through different historical periods, the characteristics of
leadership, and modern perspectives on leadership. It also presents an integrated leadership framework
that incorporates diverse theories and approaches. Furthermore, the book explores the practical
application of leadership principles, emphasizing the importance of adapting leadership practices to the
demands of the twenty-first century.

Overall, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of leadership that combines theoretical
understanding with practical application. It aims to provide leaders, both current and future, with the
necessary knowledge and tools to effectively lead in today's dynamic and challenging environments.
