Synopsis

What does it mean to lead? Whom do we consider to be “leaders”? And how might viewing leadership through the many lenses of the humanities expand our understanding of how it is imagined, represented, and enacted? Drawing on insights from leading scholars in classics, philosophy, religion, literature, history, and the visual and performing arts, The Arts of Leading amplifies the rich, diverse, and nuanced perspectives of the liberal arts. Rather than instrumentalizing the humanities or reducing them to mere management resources, The Arts of Leading engages a litany of perspectives to uncover alternative ways of imagining and embodying leadership across different historical, moral, and cultural contexts. The result is a series of insightful and refreshing essays that challenge leaders, scholars, and citizens to expand their notion of leadership in our ever-evolving world. The Arts of Leading considers how a wide range of disciplines can illuminate the complex aspects of leadership that are often obscured in a discourse that typically centers on business and politics to guide leaders and citizens of characters alike.
