Description for Managing without Leadership
Hardcover. Argues that leadership as traditionally understood does not explain organizational functioning. Drawing on coherentist epistemology, connectionism, and the theory of self-organizing dynamic systems, a naturalistic account of organizational functioning is explored that includes leaders as non-privileged agents in the fabric of organizational life. Num Pages: 168 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: KJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 416.
A critical examination of leadership theories past and present, "Managing without Leadership" argues that leadership as traditionally understood does not explain organizational functioning. Bounded by empiricist assumptions and methodology, and including a narrow theory of mind as symbol processor, leadership theories are unable to support their claims about leaders and their actions. Drawing on coherentist epistemology, connectionism, and the theory of self-organizing dynamic systems, a naturalistic account of organizational functioning and organization design is explored that includes leaders as non-privileged agents in the cognitive fabric of organizational life.
