'With their fascinating synthesis of two fields of study,
leadership and sexuality, editors James Beggan and Scott Allison
provide a forum for scholars to investigate two concepts that have
long shaped human behavior and captured both academic interest and
the curiosity of the general public. In addition to its appeal to
academics, this cross-disciplinary book will interest anyone who
has ever had a boss, been on a date, or contemplated an office
romance.' -Robert Giacalone, John Carroll University, US Although
both leadership and sexuality are important and heavily researched
topics, there is little work that addresses the interaction of the
two areas. Leadership and Sexuality: Power, Principles, and
Processes is a scholarly synthesis of leadership principles with
issues related to sexuality and sexual policy-making. The authors'
multi-disciplinary analysis of the topic examines sexuality in the
context of many different kinds of leadership, exploring both the
good and the bad aspects of leadership and sexuality. These
integrated topics are examined through three broad areas of study.
The first involves individuals who become leaders in sexual domains
by advancing new views of human sexuality. The second involves
problems that leaders of businesses and other institutions must
address as a result of issues related to human sexuality, including
sexual harassment and sexually-based discrimination in the
workplace. The third area involves understanding how being a leader
influences sexual desire and sexual attraction, and may impact the
course of workplace romance and the expression of sexuality.
Written to be accessible to both laypeople and scholars, this book
will appeal to academics and scientists interested in human
sexuality as well as many related disciplines, including
psychology, sociology, leadership studies, heroism science,
political science, religion, and economics. Contributors: S.T.
