Notes
1. This article is a revised and expanded version of a keynote talk given at the Annual Conference of SCRELM, the Standing Conference on Research into Educational Leadership and Management, Hull, UK, 7–8 July 2005.
2. It is noteworthy that only one of the 30 chapters in the new edition of Clegg et al.'s well-known collection Handbook of organization studies (2006) has ‘leadership’ in the title.
3. Ranson et al., Citation2005, provides one example of a study that avoids this, by focusing on governance.
