“You need to start with Northouse’s Leadership. It is a great book that gives you a broad-sweep overview of the various leadership theories and how you can apply those theories in real-life situations.”
“A comprehensive guide to the study of leadership.”
“This book is a good starting place for those who are interested in learning about the broad range of leadership theories and a good follow-up resource for those wanting to know more in-depth information and also how to apply theories to real life situations through the case studies.”
“It is an understandable and concise book highlighting the traits, characteristics, and features of a leader.”
“This is an excellent textbook at both the beginner and intermediate levels, and would be best undertaken at the Junior or Senior level, as the concepts will be more meaningful for application. This enrichment from the book is also relevant to the supplemental material including case studies, self-evaluation questionnaires, and the interactive e-book.”
We were already using this book, so we just updated the edition.
Great book that I enjoy teaching from. It is easy to carry and affordable for students.
great book - covers all content we need
Northouse provides an excellent structure for the discussion of leadership paradigms in the classroom. This will continue to be a core text in my course.
