Abstract The aim of this paper is to bring together some of the foundational and recent literature interlinking corporate governance and the leadership role of the board of directors. Strategic leadership is widely assumed to be a responsibility that defaults to the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs). However, in practice, what most CEOs do is strategic management rather than strategic leadership. While strategic management does share key aspects of strategic leadership CEOs are expected to prioritize the managerial side over the leadership side. This is just one of the situations in which the board-room assumes the leadership role. This paper discusses how boards of directors conduct the process of strategic leadership in their organizations. In recent years there has been an increasing interest among scholars to understand how boards strategize from a behavioral point of view. This growing interest has resulted in the development of various typologies regarding boards’ involvement in the strategic leadership processes.

董事会领导力：董事会是战略领导力的源泉

摘要本文旨在汇集一些将公司治理与董事会领导角色联系起来的基础文献和最新文献。普遍认为，战略领导是首席执行官的默认责任。但是，实际上，大多数首席执行官所做的是战略管理而不是战略领导。尽管战略管理确实共享了战略领导力的关键方面，但首席执行官仍应优先考虑管理方面而不是领导方面。这只是董事会担任领导角色的情况之一。本文讨论了董事会如何在其组织中进行战略领导力的过程。近年来，学者越来越有兴趣从行为的角度了解董事会如何制定战略。这种日益增长的兴趣导致有关董事会参与战略领导力过程的各种类型的发展。
