If you are a student writing a term paper, a master’s thesis, a doctoral dissertation, or any other research-based academic assignment related to management, political science, or some other discipline that involves the study of leadership, this book can be invaluable as a starting point or reference source. It can also serve as a wellspring of information for instructors, scholars, writers, and leadership practitioners.

• What have scholars stated about the connections between leadership and effectiveness?

• Can leadership exist if someone only has one follower?
