In The Science of Leadership, Julian Barling takes an evidence-based approach, relying primarily on the knowledge generated from research on organizational leadership conducted around the world as well as personal reflections based on two decades of involvement in leadership research and leadership development with executives. While leadership has been studied within all the major social sciences, Barling mainly focuses on findings from psychological research. In the first part of the book, he explores the nature of organizational leadership, responds to the question of whether leaders "matter", and explains how leadership works. A longstanding issue is whether leadership can be taught. Barling surveys the debate over whether leadership is "born or made", as well as the effectiveness of leadership development interventions in organizations. He gives consideration to what can be learned from leadership in contexts such as sports, the political arena, and schools, and devotes individual chapters to topics that include gender and leadership, destructive leadership, and followership.
