A critical examination of leadership theories past and present,
"Managing without Leadership" argues that leadership as
traditionally understood does not explain organizational
functioning. Bounded by empiricist assumptions and methodology, and
including a narrow theory of mind as symbol processor, leadership
theories are unable to support their claims about leaders and their
actions. Drawing on coherentist epistemology, connectionism, and
the theory of self-organizing dynamic systems, a naturalistic
account of organizational functioning and organization design is
explored that includes leaders as non-privileged agents in the
cognitive fabric of organizational life.
