Launch your learning journey to deeper insights into how you lead & others like to be led

When we study leadership we often forget it is ultimately about people. Ultimately, any insights into how good a leader is must come from those being lead and those leading the leader. It is from these insights that the qualities they should may be isolated. But can the study of leadership simply reference what certain ‘great’ leaders did or are doing? 

The concept of leadership and what constitutes an effective, successful leader has attracted huge volumes of research, wide discussion and an abundance of educational offerings. This confirms its importance for individuals, organisations and societies. But it also confirms the ‘science’ surrounding leadership and what a leader does remains problematic.

Nor is a great leader akin to a magician with deep secrets and unknowable practices. The scientific study of leadership has produced a theoretical research and insights into the ways a leader thinks and acts in a range of contexts. The cross-disciplinary nature of leadership has meant that psychologists, organisational theorists, knowledge and organisational management theorists, scientists, educators and theorists from many other disciplines have all presented scientific very useful insights and opinions on the topic.

So leadership may well be an art, but it does have a scientific basis that can be learnt. It involves humans who through self-expression and their personal qualities, personality characteristics and preferences interact with other humans in highly person ways to overcome problems and seize opportunities.
