Theory is one thing. Practice is another. Guest Brad Jackson understands that, and works to put leadership theory into real-world contexts so it can be truly useful.
That’s the focus of his book: Revitalising Leadership – Putting Theory and Practice into Context. It argues that the universal prescriptions favored by most leadership scholars ignore the reality that context always matters in leadership practice. He puts our attention on the key challenges for leadership in different organizational contexts. From developing a specific purpose for leadership to formulating the values, norms and domains of action, putting leadership in context is tremendously useful – shaping the role, responsibilities, rights, behaviors and attributes relevant to leaders and followers.
