Leadership

Leadership The Cutting Edge : a Symposium Held at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, October 27-28, 1976

An examination of theoretical and em­pirical directions in leadership in busi­ness, industry, and government, this collection of symposium papers presents a view of the much-discussed but little-researched charismatic leadership no­tion. Four major divisions include discus­sion and summary integrating material, thus providing review, evaluation, and perspective on leadership, along with critiques advanced by participants. A final section presents an overview of the “sharpeners” and “levelers”—those approaches seen as productive in new directions and those seen as probable dead ends in terms of advancing the field. Contributors include Kathryn M. Bartol, D. Anthony Butterfield, John P. Campbell, Fred Dansereau, Jr., McDonald Dumas, Martin G. Evans, William M. Fox, Robert J. House, Charles N. Greene, Steven Kerr, Arlyn J. Melcher, Marshall Sashkin, Chester A. Schriesheim, William E. Scott, Jr., Henry P. Sims, Jr., John E. Stinson, Peter M. Storm, Andrew D. Szilagyi, and William M. Vicars. This book is Volume 4 of the South­ern Illinois University Leadership bi­ennial symposia series initiated in 1971.
