1.0 out of 5 stars An awful textbook, March 26, 2007

This review is from: Quantum Leadership: A Textbook of New Leadership (Hardcover)

This book is the assigned textbook for a leadership class, I'm currently taking and I don't like it as a textbook at all. I've waited to read 8 chapters before attempting to review it. The book does contain valuable information/insights into leadership in the modern world; however the chapters are long and contain redundant statements. It's quite a frustrating read for a student who's new the study of leadership. Each chapter is also littered with 'diagrams' and exhibits which are supposed to illustrate the authors' main points but are often more confusing than helpful. Because of the chapter length, it's also very hard to refer back and find information. (I've had to resort to a very untidy Post-it flag system.)

The book got to me in very good shape, arrived on schedule and the description matched the book. However, my teacher gave us the wrong edition initially, and I had to return the book. The seller was very understanding and they made the return flawlessly and very quickly.
I would totally buy from this seller again.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, February 19, 2009

This review is from: Quantum Leadership: A Textbook of New Leadership (Hardcover)

I was disappointed to receive the first edition (2003) of this book when I needed the 2nd (2007) edition for a required class. It was the final straw to order from Woody Books. His first was when they could not provide a tracking number to locate the shipment of this book. However, in fairness, the book was new and in good condition (some pages were bent in the shipment). It just was not the latest edition---why sell an older book and charge the price of the newest one?
