It is time for the development of a new kind of business
leadership. Global needs call for a revision of market capitalism
and a move towards moral capitalism; a move "from value to values,
from shareholders to stakeholders, and from balance sheets to
balanced development" (Kofi Annan). With the challenge of this
transition in mind, this book argues that it is time for a new
understanding of leadership, a new romanticism which looks behind
the overvalued, heroic leadership notion. The editors explore a
romanticized rhetoric and situate it within current discourses of
authentic, distributed and ethical leadership, where societal,
economic and environmental challenges require us to take a
collective lead towards doing good and growing well. Exploring this
dichotomy of romantic ideal and essential requirement, this book
combines the insights of leading academics and with those of
practitioners in the field. Thought-provoking and engaging it will
challenge both thinking and practice, and is essential reading for
all those operating or researching in the field of leadership,
particularly those who realize the overwhelming challenges of
sustainability, and corporate social responsibility which the world
now faces.
Leadership studies today resembles a bewildering diversity of
theories, concepts, constructs and approaches, struggling in huge
part for meaning, relevance and impact. As Dennis Tourish so
eloquently puts it, much of the literature suffers from
'unrelenting triviality' and 'sterile preoccupations'. Seeking to
create a clean break from this current state of leadership studies,
After Leadership begins with the premise of a post-apocalyptic
world where only fragments of 'leadership science' now remain,
echoing Alisdair McIntyre's imagining of such a scene as the basis
for re-establishing the foundations and focus of moral theory. From
these fragments, the authors seek to construct a new leadership
studies that challenges much of the established thinking on
leadership, exposes its limitations and biases, and, most
importantly, seeks to construct the foundations of a more
inclusive, participatory, bold, relational and social platform for
leadership in the future. After Leadership thus imagines a brave
new world where what leadership is and what we seek from it can be
developed anew, rather than remaining bound up in the problematic
traditions and preoccupations that characterise leadership studies
today. Offering both full length chapter explorations that explore
new ways of understanding and practicing leadership, as well as
shorter essays that aim to provoke further reflection on leadership
and what we seek of it, After Leadership offers a uniquely critical
and creative collection that will inspire students, scholars and
leadership educators to reconsider their understanding and practice
of leadership.

only an in-depth overview the current field of leadership studies,
but also a map into the future debates, innovations and priorities
of where the field will move to. Featuring all new chapters from a

away from essentializing boundaries, and instead seeks to create
synergies between different schools of leadership. A key feature of
