About this product

Product Information

Leadership: Theory and Practice, Fifth Edition is the market-leading survey text for leadership courses across disciplines. Author Peter Northouse combines an academically robust account of major theories, approaches, models, and themes of leadership with an accessible style and numerous practical exercises to allow students to apply what they learn about leadership both to themselves and to specific contexts and situations. The book is divided into fifteen chapters, which cover all of the key aspects in the leadership field: defining leadership; trait approaches; skills approaches; style approaches; situational approach; contingency theory; path-goal theory; leader-member exchange theory; authentic leadership; transformational leadership; team leadership; psychodynamic approach; diversity and leadership; culture and leadership, and leadership ethics. Enhancing the academic coverage are new case examples, questions for reflection, and leadership instruments and questionnaires that promote a more interactive and enriching experience for students. Features and Benefits Breadth of theory coverage is substantial yet synthesized in such a way as to leave room for specific application and greater discussion of discipline- or program-specific issues Numerous, contemporary case studies supplement each major theory or topic to allow students to apply leadership concepts to specific scenarios Leadership instruments and questionnaires provide effective reflection opportunities and often add a a significant and immediate reality check to the theory presented New coverage of authentic leadership and servant leadership expose students to additional contemporary theories and concepts of leadership The chapter on Women and Leadership is expanded to broader diversity issues, to still include gender The enhanced Instructor Resources offer more test items, new cases, and access to academic journal articles, organized by topic and/or discipline. A new accompanying Study Site- featuring additional topics, exercises, projects, cases, chapter summaries, video clips, and social networking tools- encourages active participation and learning among groups inside or outside the classroom Looking for other titles for your Leadership courses? SAGE has published over 500 books on Leadership, and we "ve developed a web page to help you find just the right one for your class.

Reviews
I 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.
