Aesthetic education has roots in K-12 education (Greene, 2001; Smith, 2008, 2005), but what models explore aesthetic knowing in leadership? This article reviews and explores the relationship between aesthetic knowing and leadership skills with implications for leadership preparation. Aesthetic knowing may be valuable to leadership practice as it might link feeling and intuition to procedural information to inform decision-making. Scholarly interest in the relationship of aesthetics to leadership theory emerged in the late 1980’s, but various conceptualizations of aesthetic leadership appear in the literature. Drawing on selected literature sources between 1986-2010, this review seeks to address ways in which scholars relate aesthetic ways of knowing to leadership practices. Four emergent categories of aesthetics related to leadership are discussed, thus extending dialogue about aesthetics to adult learning and leadership preparation by articulating the interrelated aspects of cognition, emotion and the body.
