Synopsis:

The most practical leadership textbook available, LEADERSHIP, 4th Edition uses a unique three-pronged approach?theory, application, and skill development?to make key concepts immediately relevant to tomorrow's leaders. The text combines traditional theory with cutting-edge leadership topics in a concise presentation that focuses on key elements. The new edition also includes expanded coverage of culture, ethics, diversity, strategic leadership, and change management. Packed with real-world examples, the text illustrates how successful leaders have dealt with challenges. It provides step-by-step models for effectively handling leadership functions as well as numerous skill-building exercises.

Review: "I appreciate the amount and application of leadership theories. This book contains the best balance between theory and practice, and ties them together nicely." "The content is comprehensive and well-organized. I believe the topics are organized in a nice "stair-stepping" method so that each topic builds upon the previous. The first several chapters dealing with the "individual" as a leader are clear and concise. The chapters take an in-depth look at leaders and what it entails to be a leader--but it is done in an easy-to-read manner."
