About this ebook

The birth of philosophical thought across the ancient world brought with it a keen interest in the study of leadership– reflections on who should lead and on how to create the best leadership structures became central to the debates of most prominent ancient philosophers.

Philosophy and Leadership offers a panorama of the main philosophies, both ancient and modern, which form the basis of contemporary leadership theories. This book will draw on many philosophical positions to offer a critique of the most important nodes of modern leadership studies–such as ethics, purpose, meaning, and legacy. It will include probing questions and theoretical as well practical exercises aimed at reinforcing the points discussed in each chapter, as well as examples from history, literature, films, and music.

This book will be invaluable reading for scholars on undergraduate and postgraduate leadership courses, as well as those studying philosophy, leadership ethics and business ethics, and responsible leadership.
