ABSTRACT
In the concluding chapter of the book the key learnings from the experience of developing the leadership in governance conceptual framework and applying it to the case studies featured in this book will be reviewed. The main features and benefits of this integrative approach are highlighted in the hope that it will encourage other researchers to explore and further refine this approach. Looking ahead to how leadership in governance research can profitably develop in future, diversification is presented as an overarching imperative. This imperative encompasses diversification in research methods; diversification in leadership theorisation; diversification in knowledge sources; diversification of governance concerns and issues; diversification in governance leadership; diversification of stakeholder engagement and diversification in governance technologies.
