Overview
In a striking departure from past practices, Barbara Kellerman explores the fact that although we persist in viewing political and business leadership separately, the similarities between them far outweigh the differences. Kellerman claims that thinking of government and corporate leaders as a breed apart contributes to the dysfunctional gap between them, and she argues that in order to tackle those political, economic, and social problems that are the most intractable, political and business leaders will have no choice but to work together.Editorials

Shows that thinking of government and corporate leaders as a breed apart contributes to the dysfunctional gap between them, and argues that in order to tackle those political, economic, and social problems that are most intractable, political and business leaders must work together. Part I overviews changing conceptions of leadership between the 1950s and 1980s, and Part II discusses the potential for a shift to new conceptions of leadership.
