The books written on leadership would fill up the largest of book shelves and likely number in the 1,000s. Jeffrey Pfeffer from Stanford University and Professor in the School of Business Administration, published The Ambiguity of Leadership in the Academy of Management Review, Volume 12, No. 1, in 1977.
