What kind of a leader do you want to become? The role of business
schools in developing future managers and leaders has long been
scrutinised and critiqued. This has been exacerbated by the recent
financial crisis and many books have been written that condemn
business schools for producing leaders who graduate without the
ability to respond to the changing world around them, innovate, or
act in a responsible way. By way of remedy this provocative book
takes the critique and debate further, proposing a number of
ethical and spiritual resources including Heiggarian philosophy,
classical Greek philosophy, and the Maori notion of wairua. It
explores existing teaching practices and suggests ways that
business schools can: Encourage a greater understanding of
different world views Introduce different perspectives such as the
arts, philosophy and spirituality Encourage the practice of
responsible and ethical leadership Nurture innovation and
creativity. Developing Leadership is accompanied by filmed seminars
exploring the central debates, and interviews with the expert team
of contributors. 'A rare thing, this book gives more than the label
promises. The title is about "questions", yet each chapter gives us
answers to why important issues are not addressed in business
schools - and what to do about it. This is a manifesto for reform,
and the next big question is what will you, reader, do about it?' -
Professor Jonathan Gosling, Director, Centre for Leadership
Studies, University of Exeter, UK, and Distinguished Visiting
Professor of Leadership Development, INSEAD, France
