Effective Leadership
Theory, Cases, and Applications
- Ronald H. Humphrey - Virginia Commonwealth University, USA
Practical and fun to read, the book incorporates personal reflections and current business examples to bring the theories of organizational leadership to life. In addition, engaging and relevant “Put it in Practice” features help students see how they can apply the leadership research to their own work lives, while leadership cases throughout demonstrate how real leaders have succeeded by applying the leadership principles discussed in the book.
Written in a conversational style, the book is concise enough to be used in a case- or course pack-oriented course or in a modular program.
This a a useful text that provides an overview of the leadership skills needed to be successful in various organizations. We are considering using it in the Fall 2015 semester. Again, this is a very useful text and provides excellent information for leadership and management students.
I used Effective Leadership for the first time this year. I was looking for a reader-friendly leadership text based in research, but with all the practical tools such as cases and self-assessments. I appreciated the obvious effort that went into writing this book with a clear audience (advanced undergraduates and MBAs) in mind. Is is very current and replete with not only the latest research but also with the most current events in business. I also appreciated the heavier emphasis on newer leadership research and the focus on emotions in the leadership process. This is an excellent text with plenty of well-devised instructor resources.
This is a very contemporary book and the chapters are very relevant to the contemporary reality of nursing leadership. This is very well written.
This book promotes some thought provoking ideas to support effective leadership within a team. I have found some useful stratergies that I have adopted and used within my team.
This a very comprehensive book and very well written. The case studies throughout are an excellent addition.
This book is appropriate for a Leadership capstone course, which I will be instructing next year.
This is a very contemporary book and the chapters are very relevant to the contemporary reality of nursing leadership. This is very well written.
excellent book, ideal for the novice nurse.
Clear, concise and has cases that can be used as a vehicle for understanding leadership complexities and concepts.
