Leadership: Theory and Practice, 6th Edition 6th Edition

Excellent guide

Had to this text book as the assigned for my Ph.D leadership course. The book is written well and is easy to follow. Also like the hands on and case studies parts the best. The author presents the material in a way that is easy to apply the theory. Best leadership text book I have used.

Purchased this for a class and found it very understandable and well-written. The diagrams are excellent, the book itself well-organized, and the case studies great for testing understanding of concepts. The absolute best part, however, is that every chapter provides a great section on strengths and weaknesses of the story. My only complaint is that the chapters never start with a very brief summary of what the theory it's covering is, so occasionally I'd finish a chapter and not really be sure I was getting the overall idea right (also made studying difficult when I'd be sitting there going "Now which theory is that again?")

Book arrived in good condition.

I am reading this book for one of my graduate program classes. Just three chapters in and I am thoroughly impressed by the content. In-depth explanations and case studies increase the knowledge base of this guide into leadership studies. Peter Northouse is a superb author and posits excellent points to ponder. I have studied other leadership textbooks from my Bachelor of Arts degree and this book more than holds it's own against their content. If you are serious about becoming a better leader, this book is a must-read.

I had to buy this book for a set of leadership classes for my Graduate program. It was okay. It offers a lot of information that is helpful when learning about the many different leadership styles but it did not keep my attention for long. I found many areas boring, redundant and useless. I would have liked to have seen the leadership styles applied to today's contemporary and global world but it lacks good examples. I lost interest quickly and was thankful to get to the end of a chapter.It does offer great information about leadership styles, it was just hard to read and stay focused.Regards,~ Holley Jacobs

The books I have brought off your site so far I have no problems. They were charged to my account and sent to the house.The problem I have had with your company is when I had to view a movie and your company offers a 30 day free trial and I automatically had to click on the dollar amount. I had tried to just do the free trial and it kept asking me to download silverlight and this I had done 4 times.

Most of the textbooks that I get from classes I resale but this book is a keeper. If you have any questions regarding leadership styles or methods this book gives great examples and details. It presents real life scenarios and how different leadership styles play in those scenarios. Northouse does a great job of explaining leaderships skills vs. leadership traits. It explains effective leadership skills even if you don't have the traits of leadership.
