Description
Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, 6th edition
Peter G. Northouse structures Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice around a single leadership duty per chapter: developing individual traits, building organizational climates, handling ethical challenges and working through situational obstacles.
The sixth edition works as a workbook as much as a text. Every chapter includes exercises meant to be worked through, not just read.
Self-assessment and practical exercises
Self-assessment questionnaires measure leadership style, strength metrics and behavioral blindspots. Observational exercises ask readers to evaluate real external leaders, and reflection and action worksheets build a personalized roadmap for managerial responsibilities.
A new chapter on working with groups
The sixth edition adds a chapter on working with groups, covering team and group dynamics that earlier editions did not treat separately.
What is new in the sixth edition
- A new chapter on Working with Groups.
- Six new real-world leader profiles covering contemporary leaders and the challenges they navigated.
- Two new corporate and organizational case studies.
