Shared Leadership brings together the foremost thinkers on the subject and is the first book of its kind to address the conceptual, methodological, and practical issues for shared leadership. It advances the understanding of the shared leadership phenomenon: its dynamics, moderators, appropriate settings, facilitating factors, contingencies, measurement, practice implications, and directions for the future. This book provides a realistic and practical discussion of the benefits, as well as the risks and problems, associated with shared leadership. It is an essential text for management, education, and communication courses in leadership, teamwork, organizational behaviour and small groups. Practising consultants will find this an invaluable reference in their leadership and team development programmes.

Chapter 14 Conclusion - A Research Agenda for Shared Leadership

A most thorough and chronological analysis and evaluation of shared leadership that will be adopted for predominantly postgraduate students due to this texts academic style. Shared Leadership appears to have been written ahead of it's time whereby Pearce and Conger have positioned the theory and application of shared leadership in very current an empirical context, for example, where environmental drivers as well as generational differences are changing the way we perceive and execute leadership, in a changing business, and therefore social, context.
