Abstract

Donald Hambrick has been at the forefront of research on strategic leadership for decades. Several times over the years his published work has helped set a research agenda for others, and his own work and his work with his doctoral students has been highly influential in understanding such key elements of organizational life as top management teams, corporate governance, executive decision-making and executive compensation. This article provides a brief overview of this impact.
