What is Leadership Studies?

At last.... I've created the first Wikipedia page about the academic field of "Leadership Studies."

It has been pretty frustrating to Google other academic fields (such as "anthropology," "sociology," "organization studies," etc.) and to read all about those fields, but have absolutely nothing devoted to the field of leadership from an academic perspective (a field which in many ways is related to all of the previous listed disciplines).

I am hoping that as time progresses the Leadership Studies Wiki page will be expanded upon and developed into an even more in-depth overview of the field. For the time being, however, the page provides a sufficient overview of Leadership Studies for anyone interested in learning more about the field.

The Wiki page can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadership_Studies and includes:

* An overview of Leadership Studies

* A look at Leadership Studies in higher education

* A history of the study of leadership within academia

* A list of notable leadership scholars

* A list of academic journals devoted to leadership

* A list of leadership related associations and organizations

* A list or leadership research centers

* An overview of research methods in the study of leadership

* A list of leadership related academic programs (undergraduate, graduate, & doctoral)

If nothing more, the Wiki page provides much of the information that is included on my blog in one place and in a succinct format. I realize that my blog has much of the information in different areas of the site. So, this should provide those interested in learning more about Leadership Studies an opportunity to explore the discipline in a more streamlined manner.

Any feedback or suggestions on the Wiki page would be appreciated!
