Leadership: Current Theories, Research, and Future Directions


This review examines recent theoretical and empirical developments in the leadership literature,
beginning with topics that are currently receiving attention in terms of research, theory, and
practice. We begin by examining authentic leadership and its development, followed by work
that takes a cognitive science approach. We then examine new-genre leadership theories,
complexity leadership, and leadership that is shared, collective, or distributed. We examine the
role of relationships through our review of leader member exchange and the emerging work
on followership. Finally, we examine work that has been done on substitutes for leadership,
servant leadership, spirituality and leadership, cross-cultural leadership, and e-leadership. This
structure has the benefit of creating a future focus as well as providing an interesting way to
examine the development of the field. Each section ends with an identification of issues to be
addressed in the future, in addition to the overall integration of the literature we provide at the
end of the article.
