The End of Leadership?: Leadership and Authority at Crossroads

The End of Leadership outlines a response to the deep and

dramatic changes currently taking place in leadership, power and

authority, as observed in our societies. The volume is the result of a

conference on the theme. The papers consolidated in this volume are

divided into three main parts. In the first part, a theoretical

discussion on the changing shape of authority is discussed. In the

second, leadership models that challenge traditional leadership models

are described. These include the influence of complexity and a network

society on leadership. The final part of this volume focuses on

leadership ethics and prudence. These papers discuss ethical challenges

because of the End of Leadership , which are characterized by the

need for deliberation and prudence.
