5 out of 5 stars If you want to learn about Leadership..start here   September 16, 2008
This book is excellent. Easy to read and very interesting. Although it is a textbook, it reads more like a novel. The online helps are worthwhile as well.


4 out of 5 stars Good text book.   July 14, 2008
OK, this book is not too bad. A fairly easy read and it is well written. Plenty of great ideas.


5 out of 5 stars Clear and Thorough   May 1, 2008
I found this texbook to be very useful. I used it for a graduate leadership seminar and I was very pleased with the way Richard Daft organized and wrote the book. Anyone seeking to better understand leadership would benefit tremendously from reading this book.


3 out of 5 stars simple and clear information   February 8, 2008
This textbook is written in very clear and simple language. Very easy to understand.


4 out of 5 stars Great book on Leadership with interesting material   February 14, 2007
  10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I'm using this book for a graduate course. It is very readable and has lots of interesting side articles included. The many evaluations it provides provide a quick way to see new perspectives on your leadership style. It provides a broad view of leadership theories, styles, followership, culture, etc. I have taken another graduate course that uses Dr. Daft's Management book. There are many overlapping topics between the two books as expected. There is also a website associated with the book which has some good resources including PowerPoint slides. My only complaint is the price seems high for a non-hardbound book.
