Leaders’ Use of Maps, Guiding Images and Momentary Meaningful Actions

Søren Willert and Mette Vinther Larsen

Chapter 6 in Relational Perspectives on Leading, 2015, pp 129-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the book’s previous chapters, we have argued that people’s shared efforts to make sense of the variability of everyday life and to come up with meaningful actions can help us understand the different local, cultural and relational realities that come together to constitute an organisation. In this chapter, we build upon this perspective, with particular emphasis on the unpredictable incidents of everyday life: How are they understood and handled? How are relationally based attempts to make sense of the unpredictable — and at times the coincidental — part of developing and shaping the organisation?
