It is nice to have all of this information in 1 book. All chapters follow the same structure, which is quite valuable for absorbing all of this information. It is not a Christian book, but has many Christian insights. The chapter for Women in Leadership is poorly written. The conclusions drawn are not well supported with evidence. Leadership: there are competencies to be learned, beliefs to be understood and individual attributes to be developed. Northouse examines a range of leadership theories, placing these in historical context and providing case studies to help the reader examine them by listing the strengths and weaknesses inherent in each of the major theories/leadership styles. Emerging, less discussed leadership issues are also discussed including cultural leadership influences, women in leadership and psychological influences on leadership. The landscape of leadership is evolving as leaders are being challenged to both hear and be heard from diverse members of their organizations. no reviews | add a review

Adopted at more than 1,000 colleges and universities worldwide, the market-leading text owes its success to the unique way in which it combines an academically robust account of the major theories and models of leadership with an accessible style and practical exercises that help students apply what they learn. Each chapter of Peter Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice follows a consistent format, allowing students to contrast the various theories, and three case studies in each chapter provide practical examples of each theory or trait discussed.
