Leadership by Simon Western
Provides a critical review and analysis of the key debates within leadership. This book challenges the notion of the individual or 'hero' leader. It develops the idea of leadership as a distributed process between lots of agents in an organization.
′Leadership: A Critical Text should appeal to academics, students of leadership and practicing managers since it presents a fresh critical perspective on on the discourses that have dominated the field of leadership practice and research′
