Questioning Leadership (eBook, ePUB)

New directions for educational organisations
Redaktion: Lakomski, Gabriele; Evers, Colin W.; Eacott, Scott

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With contributions from expert, and emerging, leadership scholars, this book challenges assumptions of leadership as being the default option for the explanation of organisational functioning by emphasising the structural features that constrain organisations. It offers a critical and diverse discussion between theoretical perspectives including French social theory from Bourdieu to Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, and Arendt, as well as notions of wisdom, ethics and social justice. At a time when leadership's dominance seems unshakeable, this is a bold book which should appeal to postgraduates in educational leadership and management, and those undertaking training in educational administration.
