The Art of Leadership uses a highly interactive approach to explore Leadership Development. By blending behavior theory, practical application, and personalized learning, students are encouraged to develop their full potential as a leader and to become the kind of leader they always wanted to have. The book can be described as more than just a textbook. Rather, it is a "learning" book which actively involves the reader in the learning process. The text’s applied approach combines behavior theory with business practice, as each chapter focuses on central concepts and skills in an important area of leadership development. The book is made more valuable and the impact is made greater by the self-evaluation questionnaires and practical exercises that are used for personal development and class involvement. In this way, readers are equipped to engage with all that the text offers.The Art of Leadership retains the most popular topics and exercises of the previous edition and adds timely subjects and new activities to make the book fresh, alive, and interesting for leaders in today's workplace. It teaches concepts, principles, and skills of leadership in a way that is appropriate for both new and experienced leaders, as well as for the everyday person who must influence others to get things done.

Easy reading
Reviewed in the United States on 1 March 2013Verified Purchase
I'm studying for my MBA and taking a leadership/management class. Normally I don't enjoy these types of theoretically or philisophical type thinking classes (accounting major), but I have to say the book is well written, easy to read throught and informative all at the same time. It doesn't put me to sleep or make me roll my eyes in agony. I think I'll keep this book and maybe even refer back to it as I move up into leadership roles at work.

Pretty Good Book
Reviewed in the United States on 19 June 2014Verified Purchase
I purchased this book for a college class. I actually read most of this one and did really enjoy it. I kept the book after the class to finish reading. Easy to read. Short sections so you can read little bits at a time and lots of exercises/activities to learn about your leadership skills and you as a leader.
