Abstract
Contemporary leadership scholars suggest the need to develop an interdisciplinary definition and practice of leadership to prepare people for a postindustrial era. Although leadership has been studied from various perspectives, the discipline of communication studies has been overlooked in this effort. In this article, I attempt to integrate scholarly material from the literatures of communication and leadership studies. Within this review, I explicate the texts of predominant leadership scholars to demonstrate theoretical affinity between their views of leadership and a dramaturgical school of communication studies. From this foundation, I construct a dramatistic definition and method of leadership. The author is hopeful that this theoretical synthesis will bring more attention to the neglected relationship between leadership and communication studies.
