Product Description

Review

"This is a comprehensive textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate classes in business, training and development, and organizational communication and should also be useful in continuing education and in-house leadership development programs." 

(Economic Times )

". . . A structured opportunity to view leadership through various lenses. . . . This book fully delivers on what the title promises-leadership theory and practice. The research is reviewed in a way that is user-friendly to scholars and practitioners . . . Northouse’s writing is crisp, direct, and explicit."

Product Description

Praise for the First Edition:

`This book examines the major theories of leadership systematically....Each chapter maintains the clear and easy-to-understand style that makes this book readable and appropriate for courses in a variety of disciplines' - Contemporary Psychology

The Second Edition of this popular text provides a description and analysis of a wide variety of different theoretical approaches to leadership. The book contains the same user-friendly, chapter-consistent format, with each chapter examining a specific leadership approach, including a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.

The new edition includes comprehensive updates and additions incorporating recent advances in the field, as well as suggestions from over 250 colleges and universities where the original edition was adopted.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only more text books were written like this..., 13 Mar 2005
This review is from: Leadership: Theory and Practice (Paperback)
I can't even begin to explain how well constructed this book is. It tackles the fundamental elements of Leadership theory and systematically explains the strengths, limitations and history behind each theory, as well as giving useful insights into the ways and reasoning behind their development.

If you are studying for exams in Leadership (as I was) this book provides a great overview, and will enable you to answer those popular 'compare and contrast' one theory against another exam questions.

This book was worth every penny! I hope other authors of textbooks can take note.

5.0 out of 5 stars best text book ever purchasd, 1 Mar 2003
By Jill R (PRESTON, LANCS. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
this book was the best text book ever purchaesed! easy to read format, with chapters clearly defined. I am studying nursing leadership at degree level and found this book to contain everthing I wanted and more in relation to the theories of leadership and could put it all into context within the nursing profession. I particulary like the "advantages and disadvantages" section of each chapter which helped enormously with analytical skills and critiquing!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read for graduate and postgraduate students, 8 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Leadership: Theory and Practice (Paperback)
This is an excellent summary of the current state of leadership research. The book is composed of 12 chapters 10 of which each deal with a single leadership theory.Each theory is clearly outlined followed by sections headed strengths and criticisms. An ideal layout for any student with an essay to write. Far better written then most popular management books and containing a vast amount of useful and easily understood information, I highly recommend it to lecturers, trainers, students, and general readers who are fed up with reading the latest mangement cookbook.
