The grounding of leadership theories in the practical doing of
day-to-day leadership work is a vital, though often neglected,
aspect of leadership research. This 'missing what' (Button, 1993)
of leadership - the routine, day-to-day practices that constitute
its doing - is the essence of the ethnomethodological approach
taken in this book. With its emphasis on making visible the
everyday, taken-for-granted practices of leadership work it offers
the reader a 'unique adequacy' (Garfinkel,1967) in the practices of
the study setting and explicates the accomplishment of leadership
work 'from within'. Based on extended shadowing of college leaders,
the book thus seeks to present a detailed understanding of the
practical accomplishment of leadership work in the often neglected
learning and skills sector. This book will be of interest to
leadership practitioners who find the generalisation and
abstraction of more theoretical approaches unrecognisable in
relation to their own need to 'do leadership better', as well as to
students and academics in the field who wish to draw on its rich
resource of situated detail in support of theory development.
