From problems to progress: A dialogue on prevailing issues in leadership research

Abstract

This paper presents a dialogue between two scholars who have come to contribute to the leadership literature rather late in their careers and, as such, embody a combined insider/outsider perspective. From this perspective, they raise and discuss various observations about the current state of the leadership literature and where that literature might profitably go in the future. The hope is that this dialogue will stimulate other dialogues and, ultimately, foster progress in the leadership literature.
