Leadership: Theory and Practice 10th Edition – Peter G. Northouse (Paperback)

Leadership: Theory and Practice, 10th Edition, by Peter G. Northouse is the paperback SAGE textbook that surveys the major leadership theories, from trait and skills approaches through transformational, authentic, servant and adaptive leadership, with a new chapter on social identity leadership.

Northouse is the leadership text most U.S. colleges assign because every chapter follows the same structure: the theory, how it works, its strengths, its criticisms, how to apply it, case studies and a self-assessment questionnaire. That consistency lets students compare theories side by side instead of memorizing them in isolation. The book is adopted in thousands of courses and has been translated into many languages.

Who it's for

Undergraduate and MBA students in an introductory leadership or organizational behavior course. Students in nursing leadership, educational leadership and public administration programs that use Northouse. Managers and HR professionals who want a clear map of leadership theory without a research-journal tone.

Why this edition

The tenth edition adds social identity leadership, which looks at how leaders emerge from and represent a group's shared identity, and refreshes cases and examples throughout. The chapter template that readers rely on is unchanged. If your syllabus calls for Northouse 10e, this is the current edition; the ninth edition is close but lacks the new chapter.
