"This book is an important guide for individuals seeking to develop and grow their leadership skills in the wildlife conservation sector, across varied disciplines such as environmental management, conservation biology and eco-tourism. Conservation Leadership addresses what leadership is, why it is important, and how to be an effective leader. It identifies common pitfalls in a leader's own thinking or behaviour, and the unexpected consequences or responses which can arise, and then explores more helpful alternative approaches to leadership. The book is divided into three parts: Part One: Leadership Principles Part Two: Four Areas of Profound Theory: Knowledge, Psychology, Systems and Variation Part Three: Skills and Competencies for Conservation Leaders It focuses on contextual and organizational challenges in conservation, including limited resources, remote locations, fragile species of concern, politics, community conflict, crime, and commercial pressures. The scope is global, using diverse examples such as sea turtle head-starting in South Asia, reforestation in North Africa, bird conservation in North America, human-wildlife interactions in the Himalayas, and post-colonial issues in the Caribbean. Case studies illustrate key learning points from small local teams through to global trans-national initiatives. Exercises in each chapter enable the exploration of less-familiar topics, including interpersonal skills, goal setting and performance measurement, plus a unique research-derived Conservation Leadership Self-Assessment Tool. This book is essential reading for professionals and senior leaders in the wildlife management and conservation sector, as well as students on biodiversity conservation, wildlife conservation and environmental management courses"--
