The black book: Heartened by the positive response to previous editions of Leadership: Theory and Practice, this Fourth Edition is written with the same objective to bridge the gap between the often simplistic popular approaches to leadership and the more abstract theoretical approaches. "This book is a major source of insights and perspectives for all those studying on leadership courses in both the business and education sectors. It is also an excellent source for school leaders and educators who want to go deepen their understanding of leadership. After reviewing leadership books for over twenty years this book is by far one of the best I have come across." -INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT The red book: Offering a straightforward introduction to the basic principles of leadership, Peter G. Northouse's Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice focuses on providing readers with practical strategies for becoming better leaders. An applied text by the author of the SAGE best-seller Leadership: Theory and Practice, Fourth Edition, this new text provides the much needed 'œhow-to' component of leading for students in leadership courses. Three interactive components in every chapter-self-assessment questionnaires, observational exercises, and reflection and action worksheets-get readers actively involved in applying leadership concepts to their own lives. Grounded in leadership theory, yet accessible and reader-friendly, this book covers a fundamental aspect of leadership in each chapter and illustrates its application in real leadership situations. A final chapter discusses the key topic of ethics in leadership.
