Meeting the Challenge of Leading in the 21st Century: Beyond the ‘Deficit Model’ of Leadership Development

Kim Turnbull James and Donna Ladkin

Chapter 1 in Leadership Learning, 2008, pp 13-34 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract If the importance now afforded ‘leadership’ rather than ‘management’ reflects more than a fad in the contemporary Zeitgeist, to what might that shift be attributed? Furthermore, as leadership developers concerned with how best to enable leaders to fulfil their roles effectively, how should such a shift be influencing our own practice? This chapter sets out, if not to answer these questions definitively, then to map some of the theoretical and practical territory which informs them. In so doing, we suggest characteristics of leadership development interventions which might complement approaches which have been more typically used but which might not so readily address the needs of those taking up leadership roles in these demanding and complex times.
