On The Nature of Leadership explores the ontological and epistemological issues associated with the study and practice of the social phenomenon we call leadership. Specifically, limitations of industrial models and of applied research in the areas of leadership, ethics, and organizational analysis are addressed, and a new approach is suggested. It is designed for scholars and students who truly wish to know what leadership is. This work portrays an evolutionary development in thought about leadership, about ethics, and about social and political processes in general.

On Organizational Citizenship is a unique application of classic political philosophy and metaphysics to organizational theory. Using this new and highly integrative approach to organizations and organizational behavior, this book proposes that organizations have a constitutional structure rather than a culture, and that much of the traditional role of government in society has shifted from the state to the corporation. On Organizational Citizenship examines the implications of organizational citizenship and how this shift might redefine the role of national government.
