This eBook “Hero or Human? Transformative approaches to leadership education in contemporary Business Schools” examines leader centred teaching, deconstructs the hero leader, encourages more reflexivity to help leaders understand their own feelings, reactions and motives for behaviour and offers some tried and tested alternative pedagogies to encourage bespoke leadership competencies which can be adapted for individuality. Finally, we examine the importance of and methods for developing responsible leaders who can find a path which is not led just by financial interest but a sustainable approach which encourages and allows leaders of our businesses and society to approach the world differently, paying homage to the messiness of reality and thriving in spite of such chaos.
