In this compelling book, top scholars from diverse fields describe
the progress they have made in developing a general theory of
leadership. Led by James MacGregor Burns, Pulitzer Prize winning
author of the classic Leadership (1978), they tell the story of
this intellectual venture and the conclusions and questions that
arose from it. The early chapters describe how, in order to discuss
an integrative theory, the group first wrestled with the nature of
theory as well as basic aspects of the human condition that make
leadership necessary and possible. They then tackle topics such as:
the many faces of power woven into the leadership fabric; crucial
elements of group dynamics and the leader-follower relationship;
ethical issues lying at the heart of leadership; constructivist
perspectives on leadership, causality, and social change; and the
historical and cultural contexts that influence and are influenced
by leadership. The book concludes with a commentary by Joanne
Ciulla and an Afterword by James MacGregor Burns. The contributors'
thorough coverage of leadership, as well as their approach to this
unique undertaking, will be of great interest to leaders, students
and scholars of leadership.
