Author: Kaye Shelton

"An essential companion to studying leadership and management in the education sector."

Author: Maria Gallo

"Leadership Case Studies in Education provides students an opportunity to "dive deep" within the salient leadership theories and practices.  Students are able to articulate a reasoned response that makes a direct connection between theory and practice.  This is a must-read for students and instructors in the field of education." Author: Ron Siers, Jr.

"I think this book would be a perfect companion to Leadership: Theory and Practice and my class. Students often mention to me how much they appreciate the scenarios and cases we discuss in class and I sometimes struggle to identify cases that clearly demonstrate specific leadership approaches...this book takes care of that for me." Author: Amy Garrett Dikkers

"Excellent and current cases in higher education which highlight a leadership theory." Author: John McKay

"[Peter Northouse and Marie Lee] bring classical leadership theory to life and shows how it is applicable to today’s challenges." Author: Jim Bird

"Peter Northouse and Marie Lee have produced a valuable resource for those who are teaching and studying Leadership Theories and Behaviors. Leadership Case Studies in Education, the well-written and effective companion book for Northhouse’s leadership text, is a welcomed addition to the field. The scope of case studies provided in each chapter and the focus on both K- 12 education as well as higher education contexts provides a unique opportunity to tailor selections to meet the needs and interests of students." Author: Karen Wehterill

"A must-read/adopt text, especially for Educational Leadership Graduate programs." Author: Prince Attoh

"This is the ideal companion text to Northouse’s Leadership Theory and Practice as it provides topical case studies specifically addressing leadership in PK-16 educational institutions." Author: Priva Fischweicher

"Students often struggle with making the connection between theory and practice. Leadership: Case Studies in Education will serve to help both professors and students bridge this gap. The cases are relevant and practical. The questions will not only challenge students to apply theory to problems of practice but they will demonstrate the complexity involved in doing so."
