Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The most comprehensive survey of major theories and research on leadership and managerial effectiveness in organizations with practical suggestions for improving skills. Balancing theory and research with applications, the book addresses controversies and differing viewpoints about leadership effectiveness with a focus on the question of what makes a person an effective leader. Covering charismatic and transformational leadership as well as influence processes, it asks readers to identify effective and ineffective behavior by managers and to suggest ways to handle the situation. The fourth edition of Leadership in Organizations has been revised to reflect the progress that has been made in understanding leadership since the very first edition. It provides more guidelines and recommendations for improving effectiveness without prescribing how a manager must behave. And, it covers 'hot' topics, such as charismatic and transformational leadership, influence processes, leading teams, and leading change. An essential reference on management and leadership for every professional manager.

I read this book for class. I got an A in the class but not because of the book. It is mostly useless research into leadership factors that i learned in the military. I had hoped it would bring some new light to the topic of leadership but he did not even talk about executive nor effective presidential leadership. I am in the class for political reasons and i expected more case studies on famous world leaders. Instead he acts like researchers are the real leaders which i only part true in academia. It had many practical exercises in the book that we had done in previous classes and this is hard to emulate without classmates. To tell you what i really thought of it i sold it back for a paldry $36. I have never had a non technology or law book that cost $110. It was definitely not worth the money paid and i don't know how they can ask for that much. It is not a reference book nor a CRC handbook of mgt. Way to expensive. I know the boys at the Naval Academy don't use this book and we should all be happy about that.

This book summarizes all the leadership literature perfectly. Researchers should consider this book when they do research on leadership.

...but reads like a VCR manual. This was required reading for a management course at my college. Whenever there was a way around reading, I took it. I'm certain that my fellow students felt similarly. Sorry Mr. Yukl.

I consider that this book was very helpful in the real life. It shows examples for all the theory that involves in each chapter. I am sure that professionals in organizations will learn very much from this reading.
