About this title

Synopsis

In The Science of Leadership, Julian Barling synthesizes current research on the nature of organizational leadership, engaging in data- rather than dogma-driven discussion on controversial topics such as gender and leadership, destructive leadership and followership. In doing so, Barling provides answers to the questions of what leadership is, whether leadership matters, how leadership works and whether leadership is born or made.
