Thanks to Reid for plowing through this one with me. It was one of those books that I felt I should read, since it's a best selling text in leadership.

I'm glad I did. But, it was good history and context for the leadership instructor. The chapter on women in leadership firmed my resolve to continue thinking about how to best address this in the elective curriculum, as well. In general, I found the book to be a very effective overview, covering lots of ground relatively quickly. The format of each chapter is standard and effective in providing a broad, balanced review of each subject area.

I would recommend that at least one pharmacy leadership instructor on a school's leadership instructional team consider reading this one.

In any event, I found it easy to turn the pages on this one. Perhaps it is simply because leadership is a topic that affects us all. If the topic interests you, this book is a nice overview of the history of leadership theories with some thoughts on their application in modern organizations. Jun 19, Umar Riaz rated it liked it. This review will be first of the three books which I read for preparation of a lecture as well as for designing a module on leadership.

I have always been wary of studying the popular yet evasive concepts like leadership. The popularity makes a subject personalized due to experiences. The exclusivity and distinction of a specialized knowledge is lost in translation when each one of us judges on personal experiences.

Still I have tried, involuntarily to start with, and by no means has this quest been less than fascinating. The first step is categorization. Leadership is being studied from four perspectives or disciplines.

The first one is that of history. Historians chronicled the lives of great people and these chronicles gave insights into leadership. These insights though anecdotal and impressionistic have remain popular and as the interests into the biographies of the leaders like Napoleon and Churchill keeps on sustaining despite the presence of dozens of biographies.

The second field is that of management. Managerial leader is the new leader. Add another edition? Copy and paste this code into your Wikipedia page. Need help? Handbook of leadership theory and practice Nitin Nohria. Donate this book to the Internet Archive library.
