The Art and Science of Leadership

This is your basic text book. It was written especially for the leadership curriculum at Mountain State University (go Cougars!), as is my understanding. A pretty good introduction to the study of leadership, especially the level of research that has been done (since about the mid 1950s).

If you're so inclined to read this one, better set aside a little time. It's one of those texts where every word means something, so you have to almost read it aloud, but certainly read it slow.
