Quotes by Peter G. Northouse  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Although leaders and followers are closely linked, it is the leader who often initiates the relationship, creates the communication linkages, and carries the burden for maintaining the relationship.”
Peter Northouse

“The overriding function of management is to provide order and consistency to organizations, whereas the primary function of leadership is to produce change and movement. Management is about seeking order and stability; leadership is about seeking adaptive and constructive change.”
Peter G. Northouse, Leadership: Theory and Practice

“Leaders who use coercion are interested in their own goals and seldom are interested in the wants and needs of followers. Using coercion runs counter to working with followers to achieve a common goal.”
Peter G. Northouse, Leadership: Theory and Practice
