Leadership Talk: A Discourse Approach to Leader Emergence

Leadership Talk: A Discourse Approach to Leader Emergence by Robyn Walker
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1606497081 | 150 pages | PDF | 5 MB

This book takes an in-depth look at an emerging approach to the creation of business leaders. Traditionally, management theories have taken a psychological approach to leadership, assuming that it is located within or an attribute of individuals. In contrast, the discursive approach to leadership, assumes that leadership is created through communication practices–practices that are contingent on the negotiation that then occurs between leader and followers. This book is intended for a broad audience, including students and professors in business schools and practicing business executives. The goal is to inform current and future leaders on how to more effectively approach leadership as a communication practice that involves and depends upon the response of potential followers. This is particularly important in a business environment that involves diverse participants with differing expectations and values related to the practice of leadership.
