"The book is a staple for an introductory course on leadership. The author introduces theory in manageable chunks and provides valuable support with questionnaires, snap shots and case studies, making the work come alive for students."

"The book provides an accessible overview of the various components of leadership. The chapters are easy to understand, very practical, and aren't bogged down with nuanced details. It gives the big picture information about what it means to be a good leader and how to develop those skills."
Longwood University
It is a little bit too simple, I have decided to adopt the other one on my list of review copies, but I need to find out if there are instructor resources available first.
