New Perspectives on Leadership: How Practical is a Good Theory?

Kim Turnbull James and James Collins

Chapter 1 in Leadership Perspectives, 2008, pp 1-12 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book emerges from a conference held at Cranfield School of Management in December 2006. This was the Fifth International Studying Leadership conference held in the UK: this series of conferences initiated by Keith Grint whilst he was at Said Business School and subsequently held at Lancaster, Exeter, Cranfield and Warwick, has from its inception been an important annual meeting both for leadership scholars and practitioners concerned to keep abreast of the latest academic research. From its inception the conference attracted people in sufficient numbers to indicate the perceived importance of leadership studies and the desire amid this community to refresh our thinking in a field abundant with leadership theory and leadership development solutions.
