There have been occassions when people have asked what leadership studies is exactly. There is not clear cut definition, because the field of leadership can be used in so many ways. In the following months I will begin to hone in on a direction within leadership and begin working on my dissertation. I have so many interests, but I will have to find something I really love; since I will be married to the topic for four years. Below is a brief explanation about the Leadership Studies.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leadership studies is a multidisciplinary academic field of study that focuses on leadership in organizational contexts and in human life. Leadership studies has origins in the social sciences (e.g., sociology, anthropology, psychology), in humanities (e.g., history and philosophy), as well as in professional and applied fields of study (e.g., management and education). The field of leadership studies is closely linked to the field of organizational studies.
As an academic area of inquiry, the study of leadership has been of interest to scholars from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Today, there are numerous academic programs (spanning several academic colleges and departments) related to the study of leadership. Leadership degree programs generally relate to: aspects of Leadership, Leadership Studies, and Organizational Leadership (although there are a number of leadership-oriented concentrations in other academic areas).
