Looks professional
In fact it is less than 2 weeks since I received the book, so maybe it is too early to review. But overall, the author seems to be professional and the book useful.

book review
I had to buy this book for class but it is an easy read with lot of information on various leadership theories and ideas.
Excellent primer
Northouse writes engagingly and clearly and presents an excellent primer on managerial leadership. The book covers all the main elements needed to gain an understanding of the topic as well as the general progress of leadership theories and their application in a managerial context.
Each Chapter is dedicated to an approach starting with the Trait Approach in chapter 2 (after an introduction to leadership in chapter 1) and culminating with Contingency theory. All the chapters are organized in a consistent and logical manner starting with (1) a description of the theory; (2) how does it work; (3) its strengths; (4) weaknesses; (5) applications and then some (6) case studies. This makes Northouse's treatment very straightforward and combined with his writing style, both an enjoyable and educational read.
However, while this book is probably the best introduction to the topic, readers looking for more in-depth information or a more academic treatment would probably be better serve with Yukl's "Leadership in Organizations:Global Edition"
Very good but...
A good read, but for a real insight into leadership in 2009, it is worth also exploring the issues of collaboration that are essential for successful leaders in these troubled economic times.
Collaborative leaders look beyond their immediate group or team to others in the organisation and a wider circle outside - to suppliers, partners and others with whom they can collaborate, to leverage relationships based upon mutual trust in the search for win-win outcomes. 'Collaborative Leadership: How to succeed in an interconnected world' is probably the best description of this and is a good manual for anyone running a business or project in these recessionary times.
Leadership: Theory and Practice Peter Northouse 
This book helped me get the best results on my course. Clear, concise and relevant. An easy read on a difficult and complex subject. If only there were other books written like this in all subjects.
