ReviewsI liked the summary of leadership theory it provides. It is very good overview that is easy to read and understand. There is nothing like this specifically related to higher education., Great survey text of leadership theory, with leadership inventories connected to each theory presented., It is an excellent primer on the history and fundamental notions of leadership. I am particularly impressed with the presentation of many different types of leadership, the newest forms of leadership, and the case studies., A 'must have' comprehensive presentation of leadership theories from historical to contemporary views. An invaluable resource for students and scholars., Northouse instructs leaders to listen to out-group memberse because the fact that some people sense that they are not being heard is at the very centre of why out-groups exist., The Northouse text offers relevant material pertaining to leadership which can be utilized by any discipline. The case studies at the end of each chapter are priceless., Northhouse explains the various leadership theories in understandable bite-size concepts and provides examples to support the explanations. The students actually enjoy the lessons. The study of leadership can be a difficult concept to explain. By theorizing about observed phenomena, we can make predictions that can be tested in the real world as well as in more controlled settings. Northhouse provides this procedure., Great baseline leadership theories from which to explore more recent research and context-specific discussions of theories. Good case studies for students to work through., The Northouse book presents a comprehensive view of leadership and the theories associated with leadership behavior. This is an outstanding text to use with a graduate-level leadership course.
