    Dear colleagues,

     

    I've been asked to give a lecture next week on the future of leadership research. I have my own ideas (and agenda) on the future direction of leadership research (i.e., as an adaptive, co-evolutionary process), but I'd like to get your opinions to avoid being too biased.

     

    Any thoughts are very much appreciated.

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Brian

    Brian,

    You may want to take a quick look at Julian Barling's book, the Science of Leadership. It is a strong book and provides a balanced picture of the state of the art in so far as the scientific aspects of leadership is concerned.

    The Science of Leadership: Lessons from Research for Organizational Leaders

    Book by Julian Barling

    In The Science of Leadership, Julian Barling takes an evidenced-based approach, relying primarily on the knowledge generated from research on organizational leadership conducted around the world and ...Google Books

    Originally published: March 2, 2013

    Author: Julian Barling

    Good luck with your talk.

    Hi Brian


    What a great topic for a lecture!


    Here are a few recommendations (by no means an exhaustive list!!):


    Day, D. & Antonakis, J. (2011). Tha nature of leadership. SAGE.


    Day, D. V., Fleenor, J. W., Atwater, L. E., Sturm, R. E., & McKee, R. A. (2014). Advances in leader and leadership development: A review of 25 years of research and theory. The Leadership Quarterly, 25, 63-82.


    Denis, J.-L., Langley, A., & Sergi, V. (2012). Leadership in the plural. Academy of Management Annals, 6, 211-283.


    DeRue, D. S., Nahrgang, J. D., Wellman, N., & Humphrey, S. E. (2011). Trait and behavioral theories of leadership: A meta-analytic test of their relative validity. Personnel Psychology, 64, 7-52.


    Dinh, J. E., Lord, R. G., Gardner, W. L., Meuser, J. D., Liden, R. C., & Hu, J. (2014). Leadership theory and research in the new millennium: Current theoretical trends and changing perspectives. Leadership Quarterly, 25, 36-62.


    Mainemelis, B, Kark, R. & Epitropaki, O. (2015). Creative leadership: A multi-context conceptualization. Academy of Management Annals, 9(1), 393-482.


    Riggio, R.E., & Harvey, M. (Eds.). (2012). Leadership Studies: The Dialogue of Disciplines. Edward Elgar.


    You should also check a current review in JOM (still work in progress I think) by Jeremy Meuser, Bob Liden, Jessica Dinh, William Gardner, Jinyu Hu, and Bob Lord titled Leadership Theory: The Infancy of Integration??

    I hope that helps! Good luck with the lecture!


    Best regards

    Surely systemic leadership thinking and acting thus adapting to VUCA conditions.

    Multi level leadership is way under represented and understood.

    Political leadership is also under represented in leadership research.

    Methodologically, University graduates and doctorates will continue to produce/suffer from too many survey based studies.

    I fear too much of the same and too disconnected / fragmented. From basic psychology and social theory to practice, from primary theory building to ROI research.

    Colleagues,

    I believe that for the future of leadership to capture the essence of "leadership thinking and acting," which I agree it should, the whole thing should move in the direction of ethnographic approaches. Less emphasis should be put on the traditional scientific research model, which is more appropriate for the hard sciences and not for the social sciences.  Also as indicated, there has to be some attention paid to the interception or interplay between leadership in government and business leadership!

    Thanks, Ivan
