\u00a0\"\"By James K. Beggan<\/a> and Scott T. Allison<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The focus of this new book<\/a> is on how power, principles, and processes influence the way that sexuality exerts an influence on leadership and followership.<\/p>\n

This book asks two questions: Why do unarguably intelligent and successful leaders put themselves into situations in which their sexuality will lead to their downfall?<\/p>\n

And why are we, as members of the constituency, continually surprised by these revelations? Shouldn\u2019t we expect it by now?<\/p>\n

Although the question of why rich and powerful men (we are not being sexist here; it is more often men than women) risk their careers by engaging in illicit sexual activity is an interesting one, we suggest that the connection between leadership and sexuality is much more important, complex, and broad than the phenomenon of a sex scandal.<\/p>\n

Sexual leadership can be viewed as operating at both macro- and micro-levels. Issues related to sexual leadership come into play when a nation decides in favor or against an abstinence-only policy with regard to sexual education, the Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage, or a husband and wife decide whether to try a new sexual position.<\/p>\n

Sexual leadership also comes into play in grey and black markets. What leadership dynamics are involved in recruiting, motivating, and managing women who work as strippers, or as prostitutes? The purpose of this edited volume is to explore the largely ignored relationship between sexuality and leadership.<\/p>\n
