The Problem with Leadership: Defining What We Don't Understand
by Harry Onsman
The problem with leadership is that, despite 2000 years of trying, we still don't understand it. Theories are quite useful things. They allow us to interpret the world as more than a random pattern of experiences. They help us pull many individual threads together into a meaningful whole. They allow us to test for consistency and reliability.
Unfortunately, we do not yet have any consistent or reliable leadership theories. At best, we have divergent views that may eventually be shaped into theories that are testable.
Reviewing some accepted management theories along with practical implications, this eBook aims to refine our definition of management whilst drawing into focus the pitfalls of poor leadership.
