Since Burns's call for schools of leadership engaged in systematic study and education of leadership and Rost's conceptualization of the postindustrial paradigm of leadership, the number of academic leadership programs have grown tremendously. Though the number of programs has increased, there seems to be a lack of consensus as to the evolution of leadership, as a growing body of knowledge, and its academic programs. However, it is worth exploring the benefits of thinking collectively about academic leadership programs for the purposes of gaining legitimacy within higher education, but also because of the growth in rigorous interdisciplinary teaching and research that occurs within and across academic programs that is important to the study and practice leadership in its truest form.
