Leadership
Written from a global and critical perspective with a diverse range of cases and examples throughout, this is an inspiring read for developing leaders operating within global and multicultural work settings.
‘Power’ is taken as central theme for this book, opening up discussion about issues that are often neglected in leadership texts i.e. fairness, equity, justice, resistance, conflict, emancipation, oppression, rationality, politics, globalization, the natural environment, and knowledge.
New to this edition:
- A new prologue: ‘An Unconventional History of Leadership Studies'
- A new epilogue on ‘Embodied Leadership, Ethics, and its Affects’ written by David Knights, one of the authors of Embodied Research Methods (pub April 2019)
- 3 new topical integrative case studies, based on current events: Jacinda Ar-dern’s pregnancy when PM; #MeToo; and Suma Foods co-operative
- Updated research and pedagogical features throughout, including the ‘Leadership on Screen’ feature

Smart, provocative, and sometimes irreverent, this book provokes students and practitioners to think realistically about the nature of leadership and how it emerges and functions. Readers will discover how context, history, and factors such as gender, race, and ethnicity, shape the way that leadership manifests itself in organizations and society.
"Mainstream leadership research remains mired in a hopeless infatuation with overblown images of heroic leadership. Leadership in ‘the real world’ is much more complex than that. Each chapter in this immensely wise and well-written book shows us how to think differently about leadership. A compelling read."
"Finally a book on leadership that I can use in graduate as well as executive teaching – and enjoy myself! It’s equally informative, reflexive, provoking and entertaining: pedagogical without losing edge. On top of that the authors have made it really easy to teach from as it’s full of reflexive exercises and relevant case studies."
