Written with the objective to "bridge the gap between the often simplistic approaches to leadership and the more theoretical approaches". Has many popular leadership theories, how to apply them in the real world, case studies, chapters on "Culture and Leadership" and "Women and Leadership", and plenty of up-to-date (as of 2007) research and findings in the leadership field.
Recommended for anyone who is going into a role with any type of leadership required.
