More Description
This book argues that it is time for a new understanding of leadership, which looks behind the overvalued, heroic leadership notion towards a new ideal. The aim is to re-introduce a romanticized rhetoric and situate it within current discourses of authentic, distributed and ethical leadership where societal, economic and environmental challenges require us to collectively take the lead in moving towards doing good and growing well. Combining the insights of leading academics and with those of practitioners in the field, this book is essential reading for all those operating or researching in the field of leadership, particularly those who realize the overwhelming challenges of sustainability, and corporate and social responsibility which the world now faces.
