- Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the study of leadership and examine potential new directions specific to innovation research in the construction industry. Design/methodology/approach – An editorial review of current literature and reflective critique of leadership research specific to the construction industry. Findings – Two key barriers are identified: a general focus on individual leadership qualities, rather than leadership as an activity; the problems with qualitative research methodologies in general, and grounded theory specifically. Originality/value – The intention is to promote a more grounded theoretical approach to the study of leadership in order to encourage research publications in journals such as Construction Innovation.
