This article first presents a historical examination of leader ship and leader ship research in higher education, placing it in the context of increasing interest and activity in relation to leader ship and leader ship development across various public sector bodies in the UK. It then examines why research (on leader - ship, management and governance) is regarded as an important activity for the Leader ship Foundation for Higher Education and what role it plays in the Foundation’s agenda. A brief overview of the research commissioned between 2005 and 2008 is presented and questions – ‘is there something special and different about leader - ship in higher education?’ and ‘how has the Leader ship Foundation for Higher Education research contributed to policy, practice and development?’ – are discussed. The article concludes by consideration of the role of research in mediating between political and institutional perspectives on leader ship in higher education.
