Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Introduction to Leadership
Peter G. Northouse · 2017
74/100
👍 Worth It
This is a solid, well-built intro textbook with real self-assessments and exercises baked in, not just theory dumped on the page. It won't push an experienced leader very far, but for someone genuinely new to the subject it's a clean, well-tested starting point.
