The analysis of the journal papers enables one to probe the field’s topics more
sharply and profoundly, since professors are capable of submitting more journal
papers than book proposals. Examination of the topic of “leadership” exposes a wide
variety of research conducted by EA authors, such as successful leadership, principal
work behaviour, leadership for organisational learning, academic leadership,
leader-follower relations, cultural leadership, superintendency, African-American
leadership, the principalship at a crossroads, middle management and historical
aspects of educational leadership.
