For over 30 years, James March has made a sustained and innovative
contribution to the field of organizational theory. In this series
of lectures, previously unpublished in English, March explores the
problems of leadership. These problems, he proposes, are dealt with
more effectively in works of great literature than in management
textbooks. Reading 'War and Peace' or 'Don Quixote', according to
March, allows us to develop a critical ability which complements
the techniques we acquire elsewhere.
March uses literature to present a range of moral dilemmas
related to leadership - questions concerning the balance between
private life and public duties, between ingenuity and innocence,
between diversity and integration, and between the expression and
the control of sexuality. He encourages us to explore ideas that
are subversive, unpalatable, and which may not work in the short
term, but which allow organisations to adapt in a rapidly changing
world.
