Symposium

The goal of this symposium is to bring researchers and practitioners together to seek out and build common frameworks for discussion. We hope to provide a meeting ground for dialogical discourse among diverse approaches to leadership theory and practice, with an eye to developing models for implementation. To facilitate interaction among participants, this symposium will regularly include invited responses to specific topics, such as appear in this issue around the topic of the globalization of leadership in business, health care, and education. In future issues, we plan to include opinions by leading figures in leadership research, as well as panel discussions around various practical issues in leadership research. We also invite candid reflective responses to issues and ideas encountered in this symposium. Please send responses to managingeditor@phoenix.edu. Note: Only those responses selected for publication will be acknowledged.
