The study of leadership suffers intellectual neglect and has yet to be considered a serious academic discipline. And though the mission statements of most business schools profess to 'develop leaders who make a difference in the world', these same schools produce hardly any serious scholarship or research to advance our understanding of leadership. To fill this void, Nitin Nohria and Rakesh Khurana have invited leading scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds to take stock of what we know about leadership and to set an agenda for future research.

Based on a Harvard Business School Centennial Colloquium, this edited volume brings together the most important scholars from fields as diverse as psychology, sociology, economics, and history to shape the academic discipline of leadership.

Nitin Nohria is the Richard P. Chapman Professor or Business Administration, Senior Associate Dean, and Director of Faculty Development at Harvard Business School. He is the author of numerous books and articles. Rakesh Khurana is an Associate Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, and author of numerous important articles and books in the areas of leadership and management.
