- A complete Instructor's Manual with chapter overviews, lists of concepts and terms, questions for study and discussion, activities for use in class, writing assignments, and a test bank of true and false and multiple choice questions

- The same user-friendly, chapter-consistent format as the First Edition, with each chapter examining a specific leadership approach, including its strengths and weaknesses, its application, three case studies of each approach, and approach-specific instruments and/or questionnaires

- Comprehensive updates and additions incorporating recent advances in scholarship in the field as well as suggestions from classroom use at over 250 colleges and universities where the First Edition was adopted

Leadership: Theory and Practice provides a description and analysis of a wide variety of different theoretical approaches to leadership, giving special attention to how each theory can be employed to improve leadership in real-world organizations. Written in a clear, concise manner, the first edition has been widely used in undergraduate and graduate courses in business, organizational communication, political science, public administration, training and development, and health services. The newly expanded second edition includes more leadership topics, research findings, questionnaires, case studies, and everyday applications.
