Defining the future direction of leadership research: Re: Leadership Information

  • 1.  Defining the future direction of leadership research: Re: Leadership Information

    Apologies for sidetracking your request George. Do the various Handbooks define the direction of anything? By the time I get to a handbook in my literature review it is to review the history of something. I fear that, as Peter Drucker said, "When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course." Academics are followers of events in the business world, not leaders. We teach what has happened in the hopes that this will give insight into what may happen.

    Hi Colleagues,
     
    I am writing the overview chapter for the Oxford University Press Handbook of the Psychology of Leadership entitled The Many Sides of Leadership: A Handbook, Michael G. Rumsey (Ed.) 2010.
     
    I would like to get my mind around as much of our emerging field as feasible.  If you have something new that you or your colleagues are developing relating to an overview chapter please send to me at lmxlotus@aol.com" target="_blank" href="/mc/compose?to=lmxlotus@aol.com">lmxlotus@aol.com.
     
    I feel that with the Oxford plans to put it online in every college libraries as well as publish in book form that this handbook may well define the future directions of leadership research for a long time.
     
    Please share you knowledge with our younger generation.  We are making progress finally.  Please help keep us progressing.
     
    Cheers,
     
    George Graen
