Leadership: Theory and Practice Peter Northouse - By: Alan Walsh, 17 Nov 2008 
This book helped me get the best results on my course. Clear, concise & relevant. An easy read on a difficult & complex subject. If only there were other books written like this in alll subjects.
If only more text books were written like this... - By: Mr E M Phillips, 13 Mar 2005 I can't even begin to explain how well constructed this book is. It tackles the fundamental elements of Leadership theory & systematicallly explains the strengths, limitations & history behind each theory, as well as giving useful insights into the ways & reasoning behind their development.
If you are studying for exams in Leadership (as I was) this book provides a great overview, & will enable you to answer those popular 'compare & contrast' one theory against another exam questions.
This book was worth every penny! I hope other authors of textbooks can take note.
best text book ever purchasd - By: Jill R, 01 Mar 2003 this book was the best text book ever purchaesed! easy to read format, with chapters clearly defined. I am studying nursing leadership at degree level & found this book to contain everthing I wanted & more in relation to the theories of leadership & could put it alll into context within the nursing profession. I particulary like the "advantages & disadvantages" section of each chapter which helped enormously with analytical skills & critiquing!
An excellent read for graduate and postgraduate students - By: , 08 Sep 2000 This is an excellent summary of the current state of leadership research. The book is composed of 12 chapters 10 of which each deal with a single leadership theory.Each theory is clearly outlined followed by sections headed strengths & criticisms. An ideal layout for any student with an essay to write. Far better written then most popular management books & containing a vast amount of useful & easily understood information, I highly recommend it to lecturers, trainers, students, & general readers who are fed up with reading the latest mangement cookbook.
