N2  - "In this original text, Simon Western deconstructs and then reconstructs leadership to challenge the popular notion of the heroic individual leader. He reveals how four dominant approaches to leadership have emerged - the Controller, Therapist, Messiah and Eco-Leadership discourses - and how these shape leadership practice today."--Provided by publisher
