LEADERSHIP RE-IMAGINATION A PRIMER OF PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

attempts to challenge and renew our understanding of, and conversation about, leadership in ways that are intended to make the reader ill-at-ease with his or her current conceptions and to venture out into a new sphere of analysis and debate at both the levels of precept (principles) and practice. The construct that this book advances is known as leadership re-imagination. Leadership re-imagination is intended to be a leadership philosophy and operational modality that is distinguished by its invitation to individuals and organizations to embrace restiveness about the status quo and rigorous self-criticism as a mode of existence. It is the proposition of this book that the need for this mode of existence is demanded for a number of considerations, chief of which is the fact that the expectations and contours of leadership practice are being impacted upon by the influences of the age reason as well as the age of information.
