Top 10 Leadership Researchers
As I noted in a previous post, over the last several years, I’ve read much of the current research on leadership. This was driven partially by personal interest and partially to assist with preparing material for “Organizational Leadership in the Wildland Fire Service,” which I co-authored with Curt C. Braun.
While it’s challenging to cull the large list of individuals performing quality research on this topic to a few, below is my Top 10 (provided in alphabetical order) list of leadership researchers:
- Bruce J. Avolio
- Bernard M. Bass
- Kimberly B. Boal
- Mary M. Crossan
- David V. Day
- Timothy A. Judge
- Robert G. Lord
- Mary Uhl-Bien
- Gary A. Yukl
- Stephen J. Zaccaro
