Customer Reviews

Great book for study of leadership!

I am in a college course studying leadership as a minor. This book is very informative and to the point. It has self-surveys that are very helpful. Very nice material overall.

Easy to follow...good suggestions.

A good book to help those in leadership positions reflect on what they can do to become better leaders. If everyone would follow the information in this book, wouldn't our leaders be great? Unfortunately, though, we live in the real world where often the people with the loudest mouths and most money or influence get to be the leaders. So, at times, this book is more about the perfect world of rainbows and butterflies as relates to leadership than about how most leaders REALLY become leaders in the world today.

Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice

The seller truly worked with me to get the book to me timely. The book received was in pristine condition.

Best book for Beginners in Leadership

This is a good book. Each chapter has a survey which provides opportunity for self review. This book has been quite useful and each chapter is concise and to the point.

Good introductory leadership book

I purchased this book because it was a required text for my leadership class. It is a good book, but it covers only the basics of leadership.
