Effective Leadership: Theory, Cases, and Applications
 “[This text] provides what is missing from most leadership texts. It is a cognitive, behavioral, and affective foundation for leadership practice that has been sorely lacking in the leadership literature.”  (Anthony Andenoro 2013-03-19)“I really like what I have seen so far, particularly the emphasis on emotions/feelings and the author's invitations (via self-disclosure of stories) for personal reflection—quite different from the ethos of other leadership texts I've seen...” (Deborah Litvin 2013-03-18)“…Readable, evidence-based, balanced coverage of topics, most key topics are addressed. The author has done a terrific job of identifying and summarizing a broad array of relevant research spanning several decades. Readers will have an excellent understanding of the nuances associated with the text’s topics.” (Lucy Arendt 2013-03-18)"The cases are vivid and intriguing. The case study approach is incredibly effective and increases the appeal of this book to a broader audience...The comprehensive inclusion of case studies and anecdotes makes this text unique, engaging, and interesting. The author found a way to make an important and novel contribution to the textbook world." (Emily Balcetis 2013-03-18)"[ThePut it in Practicefeature is] very good overall—the most useful for students looking for guidance and a distillation of what was covered…” (Luigi Lucaccini 2013-03-18)“I particularly liked the coverage of identity, charisma, and power. These subjects are discussed in more depth than I have found in other leadership texts.”  (Jon R. Whitford 2013-03-18)“I am an instructor and a political consultant, and I study leadership through theory and application. This is one of the most true-to-life leadership books that also combines theory and application. It gives students a real good perspective on what leaders think and do.” (Sheneice M. Hughes 2013-03-18)“The author’s writing style and spot-on examples and cases bring the material to life. The author is an extremely talented writer…This text reads like a business ‘best seller’. I was thoroughly entranced by this book and couldn’t wait to read more of it. I would recommend it to students and leader/manager practitioners. The summaries of research studies are excellent and can be put to immediate practical use.  This is the best book on overall leadership (text or otherwise) that I have ever read.” (Machelle K. Schroeder 2013-03-18)
