Leadership is the problem - and therefore not the solution - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book about leadership targets all those seeking a ­better understanding of the mysterious phenomenon called leadership. The essays strive to expand knowledge of leadership from two starting points. The first one is an implicit analytical assumption running throughout the book, i.e. that leadership constitutes a problem, not a solution. The second one is empirical and entails studies of leadership in contexts that are usually overlooked. Traditional businesses and public authorities are replaced with other settings, such as a monastery, an accident site and polar expeditions, in order to see beyond the preconditions of modern bureaucracy. The primary discussion revolves around the question where leadership stands today. But the authors also try to figure out to where it is heading.
