The Leadership Quarterly

The ILA is officially affiliated with the The Leadership Quarterly, a premier leadership journal published by Elsevier.  ILA Members receive substantial discounts off both online and print subscription rates to the journal.  LQ brings together a focus on leadership for scholars, consultants, practicing managers, executives and administrators, as well as those numerous university faculty members across the world who teach leadership as a college course. It provides timely publication of leadership research and applications and has a global reach. 


Leadership Excellence Magazine

In partnership with Executive Excellence Publishing, the ILA offers members free online access to Leadership Excellence, the monthly magazine devoted to Organizational Leadership. Each issue features 16 to 18 short articles authored by top executives, professors, trainers and consultants on seven dimensions of management and leadership: management, vision/mission, innovation/ change, competence, people, performance, and ethics.


Journal of Leadership Studies

In partnership with Jossey-Bass/Wiley, the ILA offers members free online access to the Journal of Leadership Studies.  Further, ILA members enjoy a discount of up to 33% off the cost of the print journal, should they choose to subscribe.  Launched in 2007, the mission of the Journal of Leadership Studies is to publish leadership research and theoretical contributions that bridge the gap between scholarship and practice and that exemplify critical inquiry into contemporary organizational issues and paradigms. The journal promotes interdisciplinary and interorganizational theory, fostering dialogue that transcends industry specific contexts and that explores leadership's role in improving organizational practices and human life. Published material in the journal includes research-based and theoretical papers that explicitly address leadership on various social, cultural, and organizational contexts. The journal incorporates contributions from business, non-profit organizations, government entities, education, and health care; however, the emphasis on leadership theory and practice spans the boundaries between these settings to promote discussions that center on human activity and interrelations. Accordingly, material published in the journal represents a wide range of methodological approaches and theoretical foundations of leadership.
