In summary, I have argued that while research and publications in the field have tended to deal with management and administration--examining issues as if they were predominately structural, organizational and authority-oriented, the area that cries out for further attention is that of leadership. For, while managers can do, and administrators oversee--it is only leaders who can move us ahead. The field is in for a turbulent, difficult, but I suspect, exhilarating next new years. Our work is truly very different from that in most businesses--and while good "managers" may make money for business enterprises, for us, leadership is the critical ingredient. (I'm not even so sure that despite some experts disclaimer of the lack of importance of leadership in business, a closer look would not inevitably reveal a Kroc, Hewlett, DiLorenzo or Iacocca behind every successful corporate initiative anyway). With that in mind, we should increase both our study of the development of leaders and our attention to their development. To do less is to increase our difficulties, court further new disasters, and have even less control over our work and our future. We deserve and can achieve a better destiny.
总之，我认为，尽管该领域的研究和出版物倾向于关注管理和行政——将问题视为主要是结构、组织和权威导向的来研究，但迫切需要进一步关注的领域是领导力。因为，虽然管理者能做事，行政人员能监督——但只有领导者才能推动我们前进。该领域在未来几年将面临动荡、艰难，但我怀疑也会令人振奋。我们的工作与大多数企业的工作截然不同——虽然优秀的“管理者”可能为商业企业赚钱，但对我们来说，领导力是关键要素。（我甚至不太确定，尽管一些专家否认领导力在商业中不重要，但仔细观察后，难道不会不可避免地发现每个成功的企业举措背后都有一个克罗克、休利特、迪洛伦佐或艾柯卡这样的人物吗）。考虑到这一点，我们应该加强对领导者培养的研究，并更加关注他们的成长。做得更少只会增加我们的困难，招致更多新的灾难，对我们的工作和未来的掌控也会更少。我们理应并且能够实现更好的命运。
