Great literature provides didactic commentaries on universal themes
in the drama of life and visceral lessons on leadership. The
careful reading of timeless novels position readers to emerge as
astute protagonists in their own stories in the context of the
grander narrative and internalize universal themes of the human
story. Students of the great works of literature also emerge
culturally literate, with a better understanding of themselves and
others in relation to nobler virtues, traditions, and purposes. In
addition to demonstrating great works of literature as among the
first formal books on leadership, this book makes explicit
connections between the study of literature and the research found
in leadership and management studies. This book: Provides a bridge
between the robust literary world and the leadership and management
genre. Demonstrates how language and literature uniquely develop
leaders to have a sophisticated understanding of historical and
contemporary cultures, events, and people. Documents how powerful
narratives either promote or diminish human flourishing.
Illustrates the usefulness of all great literature and stories in
shaping engaging and compelling workplace narratives that inspire
and engage the collective. Equips leaders and managers with the
knowledge and skills to embrace the drama of leadership and engage
in meaningful sensemaking to help organizations thrive. Encourages
readers to be connoisseurs of great works of literature and include
such works in their leadership libraries. This book is ideal for
the initiated and uninitiated in the study of literature and
leadership by making explicit complementary and relevant insights
to make reading and leading much more meaningful. Those unfamiliar
with great literature will gain a deeper appreciation for books
serving as tutors and mentors in the ways of leadership and become
more discerning readers. Those unfamiliar with the leadership genre
will improve their acumen to use endearing and enduring narratives
to influence people and organizations.
