"Since the first publication of this book nearly 30 years ago, our need to understand leadership has grown exponentially. The phenomenon of leadership has been addressed in hundreds of books from simple self-help books with lists of aphorisms about being a good leader to complex studies of how leadership functions in large corporations. Still, the importance of understanding how leadership works and the value of competent leadership in times of crisis remain high. To that end, this edition is written to bridge the gap between the often-simplistic popular approaches to leadership and the more abstract theoretical approaches. Like previous editions, this tenth edition reviews and analyzes a selected number of leadership theories, giving special attention to how each theoretical approach can be applied in real-world organizations. In essence, my purpose is to explore how leadership theory can inform and direct the way leadership is practiced in real-life settings"-- Provided by publisher.

Good information
This is a great book for the practitioner that is wanting to study leadership as more than a "passing fancy", so to speak. It is in depth and covers many aspects of leadership. Many leadership books are very superficial on the subject, this one is not. When it says theory AND practice, that is exactly what it means, emphasis on the AND!
