In this book, some of the world's leading scholars come together to
describe their thinking and research on the topic of the psychology
of leadership. Most of the chapters were originally presented as
papers at a research conference held in 2001 at the Kellogg School
of Management of Northwestern University. The contributions span
traditional social psychological areas, as well as organizational
theory; examining leadership as a psychological process and as
afforded by organizational constraints and opportunities. The
editors' goal was not to focus the chapters on a single approach to
the study and conceptualization of leadership but rather to display
the diversity of issues that surround the topic.
Leadership scholars have identified a host of approaches to the
study of leadership. What are the personal characteristics of
leaders? What is the nature of the relation between leaders and
followers? Why do we perceive some people to be better leaders than
others? What are the circumstances that evoke leadership qualities
in people? Can leadership be taught? And so on. The contributions
to this book examine these important questions and fall into three
categories: conceptions of leadership, factors that influence the
effectiveness of leadership, and the consequences and effects of
leadership on the leader. All in all, the chapters of this volume
display part of a broad spectrum of novel and important approaches
to the study of the psychology of leadership. We hope that they are
equally useful to those who are or would be leaders and to those
who study the topic. As recent events have served to remind us, it
is too important a topic to be ignored by psychologists.
