Leadership by Peter G Northouse
A wide variety of theoretical approaches to leadership is offered in this book, which gives special attention to how each theory can be employed to improve leadership in real-world organizations. Special features of the chapters include: a discussion of the strengths and criticisms of a specific leadership approach to assist readers in determining the relative merits of each approach; an application section on the practical aspects of the approach and how it can be used in organizational settings; three case studies illustrating common leadership issues and dilemmas, with thought-provoking questions following each case study; and a leadership questionnaire to help readers develop a better understanding of their own leadership style.
