Abstract: Abstract This book seeks to develop an explanation of managerial leadership learning. The term ‘leadership learning’ is limited in common usage, yet my argument in this book will suggest that it provides a most important focus by which we can gain a better understanding of leadership practice and thereby enhance leadership development interventions. In this book a study of leadership learning will seek to understand underlying influences that shape a manager’s knowledge acquisition and behavioural orientation towards their leadership practice.
