    Dear colleagues

    The Network of Leadership Scholars (NLS), in partnership with the International Centre of Leadership and Followership at Durham University Business School, honors a career-in-progress that has made and is likely to continue making considerable impact on leadership scholarship, practice, and/or teaching. Through this award, we call attention to our science and some of the very best work we are doing as a field. In a time when the contribution of the social sciences to society is called into question, we seek to highlight achievements of our very best mid-career leadership scholars, making them visible to their institutions, industry, and community.
