领导力研究的既定方法对我们创造性地研究实际领导力实践并对其动态产生新见解的能力施加了不必要的限制。领导力研究的再生取决于新的解释框架的发展，这些框架产生了对“领导力”一词通常被归因于的过程的新的或更深入的理解。为此，本文提出了一个概念框架，建立在良好的社会调查传统的领导力研究中没有得到充分利用。这一框架的价值是通过对高级管理人员领导过程的深入实地研究中获得的数据进行分析来证明的。有人认为，这种领导力研究的方法，以回答要求增加领导力研究的实际意义，而不作出不可接受的牺牲，其智力信誉。
Established methodologies of leadership research have placed unnecessary constraints upon our capacity to examine creatively actual leadership practices and to generate fresh insights into their dynamics. A regeneration of leadership research depends upon the development of new frameworks of interpretation which yield new or deeper understanding of processes to which the term ‘leadership’is usually attributed. To this end, the article presents a conceptual framework founded upon well established traditions of social enquiry which have been underutilized in leadership research. The value of this framework is demonstrated through the analysis of data taken from an intensive field study of leadership processes amongst senior managers. It is argued that this methodology for leadership research serves to answer calls for increasing the practical relevance of leadership research without making unacceptable sacrifices to its intellectual credibility.
