Student Study Site
edge.sagepub.com/lussierleadership7e

The open-access Student Study Site makes it easy for students to maximize their study time, anywhere, anytime. It offers flashcards that strengthen understanding of key terms and concepts, as well as learning objectives that reinforce the most important material.

The supplemental sections such as case studies, key terms, and surveys are excellent resources. The videos & some organization references are a bit outdated. Unfortunately the theories outlined no longer line up with the Department's objectives for the course. An alternate SAGE text has been adopted.
