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. \u003cp\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBreadth 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\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumerous, contemporary case studies supplement each major theory or topic to allow students to apply leadership concepts to specific scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeadership instruments and questionnaires provide effective reflection opportunities and often add a a significant and immediate reality check to the theory presented\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew coverage of authentic leadership and servant leadership expose students to additional contemporary theories and concepts of leadership\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe chapter on Women and Leadership is expanded to broader diversity issues, to still include gender\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe enhanced Instructor Resources offer more test items, new cases, and access to academic journal articles, organized by topic and\/or discipline.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA 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\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eLooking for other titles for your Leadership courses?\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Business \u0026amp; Economics, Human Resources \u0026amp; Personnel Management\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e SAGE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781412974882\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SAGE","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47915783225521,"sku":"SB-1412974887-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1412974887.jpg?v=1789143038","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/leadership-theory-and-practice","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
