[Rachel D’Onofrio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice summary of the Northouse chapters and specific applications to education was good, but come on. Some of these case studies were ridiculous, and the questions posed didn't get to the essential issues in the case studies.

[Rena · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great overview of various leadership styles and approaches.

[Jilane · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good case studies to help clarify the point, but I really had to read Northouse's Leadership: Theory and Practice to really understand what he was talking about.

The case studies provided for some interesting class discussion & there's lots of basic info on existing research in leadership, but we need more for 2021.
