The purpose of this article is to review literature on leadership and emotion to expose theory and questions on the association between leadership and emotion. Burns' (1978) implicit framework of leadership and emotion is revealed. Questions about leadership and emotion by scholars in the sociological tradition are presented. A research agenda is forwarded. Such a research agenda will provide valuable insights on leadership-a relationship that enhances our feelings of predictability and motivates us to action.
