Synopsis

This book explores narratives’ contribution to leadership development and how the development of narrative leadership provides leaders with opportunities in an age of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

Bringing together educators, researchers, coaches, and practitioners, the book traverses the dark side of leadership storytelling, leadership storytelling for inclusiveness, and innovative narrative practices. It introduces critical concepts such as narrative betrayal, narrative humility, and narrative reflexivity in order to examine storytelling not only as a source of inspiration and belonging but also as a site of ethical tension, power, and responsibility. This book will deepen readers' understanding of how and why storytelling is important in leader and leadership development contexts and provide practical tools and strategies for leadership development.

Ideal for leadership educators, facilitators, researchers, and organisational practitioners, this book provides essential tools and perspectives for developing leaders in today’s complex world. More than a toolkit, it is an invitation to reflect more deeply on leadership itself.
