Responsible LeadershipRealism and Romanticism\nAuthor(s): Steve Kempster, Brigid Carroll\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367340612, 978-0367340612\nSynopsis\nIt is time for the development of a new kind of business leadership. Global needs call for a revision of market capitalism and a move towards moral capitalism; a move \""from value to values, from shareholders to stakeholders, and from balance sheets to balanced development\"" (Kofi Annan).\n\nWith the challenge of this transition in mind, this book argues that it is time for a new understanding of leadership, a new romanticism which looks behind the overvalued, heroic leadership notion. The editors explore a romanticized rhetoric and situate it within current discourses of authentic, distributed and ethical leadership, where societal, economic and environmental challenges require us to take a collective lead towards doing good and growing well. \n\nExplorin.
