    A while ago I sent out a request for courses/articles on interdisciplinary leadership.  The contributions are summarized below.  I would like to thank Daniel Miller, J. Lee Whittington, Cynthia Stevens, Ronald Piccolo, Stacie Chappell, Michael Ryan, Brian Spisak and Marc Anderson for their responses.

    Books:
    The Power of Full Engagement. Loehr & Schwartz
    Leadership on the Line.  Heifetz & Linskey
    True North. George.
    The Next Generation Leader. Stanley
    Total Leadership. Friedman

    Textbooks:

    The Leadership Experience, 2d ed. Daft

    There were over 100 articles listed on the various syllabi, too many to list; some other recommendations that are less business-specific are:
