The Impact of Leaders: Who They Are and What They Do

Abstract

Focuses on strategic leadership. Summarizes research on chief executives and others over a five‐year period, which aimed to use the analysis of language patterns as one way of understanding leaders. Raises issues around abstract concepts such as “centring” and “grounding” as they apply to leaders, and makes some final points about learning to lead.
