Reviews

Praise for the first edition Kevin Flinn’s book on Leadership Development is an important antidote to the usual literature on leadership and leadership development. Instead of simply reinforcing largely mythical accounts of some idealised story about what leadership should be, Flinn’s book insightfully reflects on the actual experience of leading and proposes useful approaches to developing that experience. Ralph Stacey, Professor of Management, Hertfordshire Business School, UK A timely insight into the theory and practice of leadership and leadership development in a world characterised by complexity and uncertainty. In this book Kevin Flinn provides a refreshingly frank take on the limitations of traditional approaches and a thorough and illuminating exploration of an alternative, rooted in the insights of over a decade’s experience working with students and practising managers to understand how things really get done in groups and organisations. Richard Bolden, Director of Bristol Leadership and Change Centre, University of the West of England, UK In this gem of a book, you will find no best practices and no short cuts but a spirited writer reflecting upon his extensive practice of leadership development. If you are sceptical of prescriptions, but want to be introduced to tools and techniques for reflexivity, this book is for you. In addition, you will get a comprehensive overview of current management literature. I can highly recommend it. Henry Larsen, Professor of Participatory Innovation, University of Southern Denmark Kevin Flinn’s book is a welcomed addition to the still very small number of books written on the topic of Complexity and Management. Kevin builds on the tremendously important work of Ralph Stacey and his colleagues and adds his own story creating an important contribution to the study of management both in theory and in practice.
