Special Issue on Distributed Leadership
Guest Editors: Richard Thorpe, John Lawler, Jeff Gold
This special edition aims to draw together research being conducted on the theme of Distributed Leadership. This emergent stream of interest within the leadership literature has hitherto been relatively neglected within the management and business community.
However this development is seen as an important one given the challenges in society where expectations of leadership are increasing and where leadership can have a significant social impact.
We are interested in receiving both 'state of the art' literature reviews and theoretically orientated papers related to distributed leadership, particularly in those that;
*Challenge the nature of leadership and help our understandings of the social and organisational contexts within which leadership takes place
*Offer insights into how organisational members exert influence, particularly in strategic ways
*Provide accounts of new critical approaches to conceptualising the practice of leadership which contribute to our understanding of both theory and practice
*Provide reviews of leadership in relation to other social/organisational factors (e.g. culture, change, crisis)
Those interested in contributing to this special edition should send papers for review to the editors by 1 April 2010.
