Who and Where Are Emerging Leaders: What Do We Know About Them?

Sherry H. Penney and Patricia Akemi Neilson

Chapter Chapter 1 in Next Generation Leadership, 2010, pp 5-15 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Why do we need another book about leadership? If you check Amazon or other sources, you will find thousands of such books. But most of them focus on leadership from the point of view of established leaders and academic researchers. Studies from leaders who have been CEOs, political, or nonprofit leaders are helpful and have provided the basis for much current thinking about leadership. And much leadership development work focuses on executive training for senior managers. We know less about the views of the leaders of the future and how to prepare them, but that discussion is now more important than ever before.
