Theory and Practice of Leadership
- Roger Gill - Durham University, UK
'At last a well-written, balanced and insightful British book on leadership. It is probable that every theory and assertion of consequence is commented upon. A real tour-de-force.'
- Emeritus Professor Gerry Randell, University of Bradford School of Management
'Theory and Practice of Leadership is an all encompassing, global review of examples and case studies that is both comprehensive and easily adaptable to almost any situation one would encounter in leading people.'
- Richard J. Conwell, Nova Southeastern University, Journal of Applied Management and Entrepreneurship

New to this edition:
- Refined to capture and delineate the essential theories more clearly, with broader coverage taking in the latest developments in areas such as change, politics, assessment and development of leadership, and multiple intelligences.
- Further development of a new integrative model of core leadership themes and practices.
- Abundant examples and illustrations, together with detailed explanations of how they apply in practice.
- A companion website with an Instructor's Manual, PowerPoint slides, links to additional case studies and full-text journal articles.
Theory and Practice of Leadership will prove a highly-stimulating read for undergraduate and postgraduate students of leadership and related subjects as well as management consultants and practising managers.

A remarkably well written, accessible and insightful work of leadership; valuable learning resource for students and practitioners undertaking leadership.
Interesting, comprehensive, and engaging book which combines humour with essential information. However I feel that this book extends beyond what a pre-registration student would need, though Registered Nurses and other healthcare professionals on management courses or who are applying for more senior posts would find this book very useful
Excellent introduction to the theory and practice of leadership.
Excellent book which addresses well some of the fundamentals of leadership theories. A well written and easily readable book.
This book is an excellent look at leadership and all concepts and theories surrounding it and I will definitely be recommending it as a text to students.
My leadership course is for first-year students. For that level I prefer the Intro. to Leadership book by Northouse (also publ. by Sage). This one by Roger Gill is excellent as recommended reading, or if I teach an upper-level managerial leadership course.
