Given the depth and breadth of leadership as a discipline, the
voluminous literature, and the expressed purpose of this book, there
were likely many difficult decisions about which concepts could be
excluded while still providing an accurate and complete overview. I
imagine the exercise to be as unwieldy as attempting to write a
calculus book for first graders. Still, there were a few notable
exclusions that would have enriched the reader’s understanding and
appreciation of leadership.

This book by Peter Northouse is a good way to begin the leadership
journey. It puts together different theories and approaches to
leadership from an academic and teaching perspective. It discusses at
length the trait, skills and style approach to leadership with full
academic references to research and existing literature.
