ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book talks about the adventures leadership that can undertake by connecting itself with diverse ways of knowing, thinking and being. It offers us 'whiteness' and a battery of associated processes – normalisation, solipsism and ontological expansiveness – to give us a literacy to redo and abolish a white supremacy at the very core of the leadership construct. The book gives us 'social location' in order to ground intersecting identities, the framing of experience and the dynamics of power in leadership acts and 'commons' to signify a space where people come together to do interconnected work with common purpose and perseverance through conflict and difference. Any student of leadership can rattle through a canon of half a dozen schools of thinking that all overlap, replicate core assumptions and compensate for the deficits in the others.
