Yukl’s text on leadership brings together the vast amount of research that’s been done on the subject. His volume is and readable–although not the type of book you’d want to curl up by the fire with.
I really appreciate that Yukl always finds something good about to say about any theory he’s critiquing!

I think this book uses speciail terms, however, it is brilliant message for people who want to be a good leader.
