A native Bostonian, Jean Lipman-Blumen is a noted
organizational sociologist and social psychologist. Her
intellectual appetite first flourished at Wellesley where
she received her BA and MA. For her PhD she studied at Harvard
under such academic stars as Talcott Parsons and Florence
Kluckhohn in the Department of Social Relations for Interdisciplinary
Social Science Studies.
Her career is a compelling example of what it means to be
a scholar for the public good. Not content to work solely
in academia, Lipman-Blumen directed the Women’s Research
Program at the National Institute of Education, served as
a Special Advisor to the White House’s Domestic Policy staff
under President Carter and was President of LBS International,
Ltd. a management consulting and public policy firm. Her
three best known books are all aimed at improving how we
go about the business of leadership and have been widely
recognized for their impact. The Connective Edge: Leading
in an Interdependent World was nominated for a Pulitzer;
Hot Groups: Seeding Them, Feeding Them, and Using Them
to Ignite Your Organization won “Business Book of the
Year” from the American Publishers’ Association; and
The Allure of Toxic Leaders, was chosen by Fast Company
Magazine as one of the ten best business books in 2004.
Currently, she is the Thornton F. Bradshaw Chair in Public
Policy and Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Peter
F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management
at the Claremont Graduate University where she is also the
co-founding director of the Institute for Advanced Leadership
Studies. She has published extensively on leadership, crisis
management, public policy, organizational behavior, and
gender issues, her most recent book being the co-edited
volume The Art of Followership: How Great Followers Create
Great Leaders and Organizations. She continues her commitment
to work for the public good as president of the Connective
Leadership Institute, a leadership, management consulting,
and public policy research firm.
