ABSTRACT

In this chapter we seek to extend the idea of ‘learning leadership’, which we introduced in the first edition of this book (Antonacopoulou and Bento 2003). Nearly a decade on from our initial call to take stock of the dominant paradigm that governs the ‘teaching’ and ‘learning’ of leadership we return to the idea, including evidence we are now able to provide illustrating learning leadership in practice. In doing so, our analysis both provides a response to current issues pertaining to the leadership debate and outlines key trends that are likely to define the way we seek to understand and support the development of learning leadership in the future.
