It's rather heavy and dry book, which is suitable as a course book. Good knowledge and guidelines in some cases are interesting!

This is the leader's bible. Yukl discusses key strategies to all aspects of leadership, synthesizing research into practical tools anyone leader can apply.

I read this book for a leadership course I'm taking, and I'm glad I read it. I would recommend, though, that if you're interested in this book the Global Edition is hard to read--the print is small in the paperback. So, spend the money and buy the hardcover edition. I'm a cheapskate, and if you're tapped for funds, the paperback is there. The case studies at the back of the book are great to ponder, and you might surprise yourself with your answers to the questions about them.

There could not be a more thorough book on leadership theory. It is great that the book is updated often to reflect the changing field of leadership.

The language used in the text does assume knowledge of the field. It is appropriate for graduate level courses, and it could be used in undergraduate courses with the right supplemental readings. It includes access to a helpful online companion website with study tools.

The book does focus on organizational leadership, and so it may not appeal to everyone. there are a lot of business examples, and the book is generally oriented towards the domain.

I think I'd rather try to discern intelligent writing in the feces my toddler smeared on the bathroom wall then read this again. It's boring, dry, and inconclusive at every step.

Certainly not something I would ever read for pleasure, but provided a good overview of general concepts and techniques for the class I am taking.
