When Simon Westerns Leadership text first published- it received rave reviews from students- academics and practising leaders and managers all over the world. Written in an accessible style- the book challenges the notion of the individual or hero leader. Western develops the idea of leadership as a distributed process and provides a new framework for understanding and implementing this.Part one deconstructs leadership- providing a critical review and analysis of the key debates within leadership; part two reconstructs leadership- revealing the three dominant discourses of the Controller- Therapist and Messiah- and Eco-leadership discourse. Eco-leadership captures new leadership ideas and practices for twenty-first century organizations. This widely anticipated second edition has been updated in line with recent events and the latest practice and research- with end of chapter questions encouraging reflection on key issues. This insightful and inspiring text draws on Westerns diverse consulting experience- combining theory and practice to offer insights into the real challenges facing leaders today. It is ideal reading for MBA and postgraduate students of Leadership- OB and HRM as well as practising managers and leaders.An electronic inspection copy is available for instructors....
