Description
'Northouse offers comprehensive coverage of leadership that spans decades of classic and contemporary
approaches. He effectively translates the evidence-base in a way that students can put into practice. I have
always been impressed with the balance in his presentation of leadership theories, offering a section on
strengths and criticisms in each chapter. If you are looking for a book that encourages critical thinking about
leadership, this is the one.' -- Terri A. Scandura'With each new edition, Peter Northouse has consistently
produced a textbook that provides students with a thorough introduction to Leadership. Moreover, he
continually updates with cutting-edge topics and important issues facing leaders today. My students love this
text.' -- Ronald E. Riggio, Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational
Psychology'Leadership: Theory and Practice and its accompanying resources are exceptional. The text is an
essential resource for faculty and for students at the undergrad, graduate, executive education, and doctoral
levels. Thereâ€s nothing out there that even come close in terms of quality and comprehensiveness.
Donâ€t teach leadership at any level without it.'  -- James D. Ludema'Northouseâ€s Leadership:
Theory and Practice is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand overview of the field of leadership. It
summarizes key concepts and knowledge and explains how we got to where we are today in our
understanding of leadership. It is a student-centered approach to studying leadership by explaining key
strengths and criticisms of each theory and topic as well as including assessments students can use to better
understand their own traits/skills/behaviors and potential as leaders.' -- Sandi Zeljko'This is a power-packed
text that provides personal application opportunities for students and the content support a professor needs to
be successful.' -- Belinda S. Han'I recommend this as the leadership book to read/assign over all others. I tell
students this is the most important book in our undergraduate Organizational Leadership major. If I could
only buy and keep one book in the program, it would be Leadership: Theory & Practice.' -- Ric Rohm'This
book presents strong learning material on leadership approaches, traits, and theories, and presents the
material in a very succinct learning text.' -- Comfort Okapala'The book is a great primer for an overview of
basic leadership theories. It is a text that puts complex leadership theories into digestible forms for those
unfamiliar with the language. The book provides a great historical context for the study of leadership,
serving to inform the work of leadership moving forward.' -- Heather J. Mashburn'This is an essential
authentic textbook that not only discusses all aspects of leadership but provides application and opportunities
for students to self-assessment in one place.' -- Deborah A. Johnson-Blake'Itâ€s a well-written, researchbased,
comprehensive resource that any scholar of leadership, organizational developer, and current or
aspiring leader should be familiar with.' -- Benjamin Kutsyuruba Peter G. Northouse, PhD, is Professor
