Leadership: Theory And Practice, 6th Edition Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Adopted at more than 1,000 colleges and universities worldwide, the market-leading text owes its success to the unique way in which it combines an academically robust account of the major theories and models of leadership with an accessible style and practical exercises that help students apply what they learn. Each chapter of Peter Northouse’s Leadership: Theory and Practice follows a consistent format, allowing students to contrast the various theories, and three case studies in each chapter provide practical examples of each theory or trait discussed. The Sixth Edition adds an important new chapter on Servant Leadership.

$64 for an eBook is ridiculous. There is just no justification for that high of price, unless you count gouging poor students. I am sure that I will love this book, and that it will be helpful and a great resource for my Environmental Leadership class. But I will not be purchasing the eBook edition, something that as an Environmental Studies student I usually take pride in doing. This price is correct for a brand new hard cover copy, or even a paper back. But charging $64 for a version of a book that does not need to be printed or shipped is unconscionable.
Text for class - will keep it - great for future refernce after class is completed. As a teacher or adminsitrator - all examples are applicable for the educational setting.
This book approaches traits, skills,and styles of leadership. Some theories are described,leadership tests, and study cases to practice. Teams, culture, and ethics are also discussed in this book, which is completed by the women position in leadership. Excellent book!
Northouse uses this text to introduce many common leadership theories and ways that you can put these theories into everyday life. While the pages are not the easiest to read, it does provide in depth insight into some of the many common practices of leadership. Highly reccomend even if it is not a required reading as it was for my leadership minor.
The time promised for me to receive this book arrived much earlier than the time given. The quality of the product is beyond excellent condition. It was truly worth the price because in the book store they wanted $68 for this book and I think I only paid $29 which included the book plus shipping. I highly recommend this seller.
I purchased this book for a class. It arrived quickly exactly when it was scheduled.I rarely purchase hard copy text books. This one is an exception. It is a must for any professional library. I recommend that you consider purchasing this book new so you can make your own notes and use it as reference for years to come.
Most of the textbooks that I get from classes I resale but this book is a keeper. If you have any questions regarding leadership styles or methods this book gives great examples and details. It presents real life scenarios and how different leadership styles play in those scenarios. Northouse does a great job of explaining leaderships skills vs. leadership traits. It explains effective leadership skills even if you don't have the traits of leadership.
I had to buy this book for a set of leadership classes for my Graduate program. It was okay. It offers a lot of information that is helpful when learning about the many different leadership styles but it did not keep my attention for long. I found many areas boring, redundant and useless. I would have liked to have seen the leadership styles applied to today's contemporary and global world but it lacks good examples. I lost interest quickly and was thankful to get to the end of a chapter.It does offer great information about leadership styles, it was just hard to read and stay focused.Regards,~ Holley Jacobs
