ABSTRACT

Neither of the authors of this chapter are, nor desire to be, leadership scholars. Indeed, our level of ignorance is such that we find the “leadership” construct a bit scary. However, our intuition, not to mention all the results yielded from numerous leadership studies, have led us to be concerned that our own programs of research are missing an essential element that we are neither equipped nor, truthfully, interested in dealing with (i.e., leadership). Given our fears, we approached the chapters in this volume with a specific agenda.
