Abstract

When considering the many theories and ideas of leadership, peace may not naturally emerge as a key, aligning principle. In fact, peace leadership has only recently come into the leadership lexicon. Utilizing a 2016 peace leadership literature review article by McIntyre Miller, this chapter sets out to identify some of the most prominent leadership theories and assess how each contains ideas and practices of peace leadership. The chapter introduces the reader to peace leadership and then aims to link these notions with those of leadership theory and practice, namely transformational leadership; authentic leadership; leader-member exchange theory; servant leadership; followership; distributive, shared, and collective leadership; and eco-leadership. The chapter concludes with a call to action for scholars and practitioners to come together so that peace leadership may join mainstream leadership theories.
