Leadership: Theory and Practice Ninth Edition

Great for all of my college classes

Editing to say…so far I have found at least one missing chapter…Super fast shipping. And the book is in excellent condition!

Poor quality control … this is my textbook for class and can’t read 2 pages in it. Book has big hole on one side of the page and the backside was folded over with no print on the paper.Still received the book in good condition .. I would just recommend thumbing through it so you have options for replacement. I found this too late to correct it.

Great

This was a textbook that I was required to read for a class. The presentation of the material was structured in a way that was templated and very interesting. Each chapter/theory is presented with supporting references, practical models, strengths, criticisms, and case studies. Each chapter/theory also provides the reader with an assessment that can be taken to show them where they fall on the scale of each theory.The knowledge gained by reading this book was life-changing in that it opened my mind to concepts I never knew existed. Not only that, it allows me to recognize each theory in a practical way as I observe leaders in action (or inaction) around me.

I recently completed my MBA. This is my favorite textbook from the whole program. I’ve got back to reread sections a couple times since graduation.

Loved the prior editions of this book, but the ninth edition includes more of today’s events with more thoughts on topics. Actually, I use the eighth and ninth together.
