Leadership Under the Microscope

Published: June 14, 2021

Multiple factors combine to determine the ultimate success or failure of a leader. The variables are interdependent and difficult to isolate. But complexity doesn’t justify surrender. On the contrary, the study of leadership begs for a more scientific approach.

What is this thing we call leadership? In thousands of books on the subject, we have yet to find two that use the same definition. Success in understanding any complex field requires researchers to apply scientific rigor and then share their findings.

In this leadership study, the authors put leadership under the microscope and offer a more scientific approach to the complexity of leadership.
