Description
Leadership: Theory and Practice, 9th edition
Peter G. Northouse’s Leadership Theory and Practice covers more than a dozen major leadership models across its ninth edition, moving from foundational approaches such as trait, skills and behavioral theories to contemporary models including servant, authentic and adaptive leadership.
The book is written for students, corporate trainers and executives who need to connect leadership theory to day-to-day practice rather than study it in the abstract.
A new chapter on inclusive leadership
The ninth edition adds a chapter on inclusive leadership, covering the practices involved in building diverse and equitable organizational cultures. It sits alongside the book’s existing chapters on the other leadership approaches.
Self-assessment and case studies
Every chapter includes a self-assessment questionnaire so readers can measure and reflect on their own leadership traits. Real-world case studies show how the theories play out in actual organizational situations.
