Leadership practitioners and those who seek to develop leadership are concerned with whether they are using evidence-based best practices to develop leadership capacity in themselves and others. Are we indeed using best practices in the study, practice, and development of leadership? This book seeks to draw attention to the limitations of extant work on leadership, and to provide suggestions for a way forward. Presenting chapters on topics ranging from research methodology, gender and cross-cultural issues in leadership studies, and the role of the humanities in our understanding of leadership, the book represents a rigorous multidisciplinary collaboration.
This is a must-read for graduate students studying leadership, leadership consultants and trainers, leadership scholars, and anyone who practices, teaches, or seeks to develop leadership. It will help expand the horizons of how we think about and practice leadership.

"Once again, Ronald Riggio has made an important and innovative contribution to our understanding of leadership. Drawing on the contributions of prominent scholars, this new book challenges us to rethink how leadership is conceived, studied, and practiced. It explores the mismeasure of leadership, and how we must broaden our thinking about how leadership happens, for good or ill, if future leaders are to be ethical and effective." - George R. Goethals, University of Richmond, USA
"Few topics in the social sciences are as important to our world as the study of leadership. However, leadership research has become bogged down in simple behavioral survey studies. This volume presented by Ronald Riggio points to a number of new directions for research that might help reinvigorate the field. It presents alternative methods for conducting research on leadership, examines emergent substantive and theoretical issues, and reconsiders key practical issues in leader selection and development. The authors are among the leading scholars in the field and they lay out an important new agenda for research on leadership." - Michael D. Mumford, The University of Oklahoma, USA
Ronald Riggio, Ph.D. is Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Claremont McKenna College.
