Editorial Review:
Ideal for instructors who take a practical, skill-building approach to teaching leadership, this text balances theory with real-world applications. DuBrin, a highly respected author and consultant, incorporates current research on leadership and real-world business events from academic journals and popular periodicals. Leadership profiles focus on successful men and women to whom students can easily relate, such as lower-level, small business, and not-for-profit leaders. In the Fifth Edition, skill-building activities such as leadership self-assessment quizzes, role-play exercises, and discussion questions have been retained. Key updates include new opening vignettes and end-of-chapter cases; one additional Skill-Building Exercise per chapter; and an enhanced Online Study Center (student web site) with new Knowledge Bank sections, featuring research and theory not covered in the text.

In pursuit of Leadership 2008-10-01 Great book for business majors! It covers alot of material that would help guide you in your leadership role wherever that may be. Great textbook, a must read.
counterfeit 2008-03-19 I purchased the textbook Leadership by Dubrin for Winter 2008 and learned that it was a counterfeit copy. This textbook was required for my Business Ethics class at Walsh College located in Michigan. I learned during my final exams that 3 chapters were missing from the text. When I tried to sell the text to the college I was notified of the text being a counterfeit copy. The bookstore also advise me of several other copies being sold.
I think it is one of the TOP leadership books of our times. 2007-03-19 Although it is difficult to start reading this book and at times the style seems too dry but I have not seen a book on leadership on which an author would have put so much work from every aspect you look, namely research investigation, advice on how to practically check many of your own leadership aspects, how to train yourself or your group to be better at some things. I found so many points that would have been invaluable in my as a manager's career if I had known them earlier. Every word you read, makes your sure that it is not an empty and try statement but everything is based on a real experience and real research on companies because the author lets us know who has done this research and on how many companies. I have bought around 10 more books on this subject but I can tell you that no book could compare with this one. One minus I found in this book that examples and cases are not very interesting and clear. Despite of this I think it is one of the TOP leadership books of our times.
Leadership textbook review 2006-11-09 This book was required for one of the university classes I'm currently taking. I do not find this book to be particularly well-written. Although it's full of contemporary research findings and theories on leadership, the author's style is too dry and formal for me and so I have a hard time staying awake while reading it. This is not to say that it's not a valuable book, however. It's simply a question of writing style.
Leadership Research, Findings, Practice and Skills 2000-05-26 I love this book because I learnt some skills from it.
