TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL: A RELATIONAL APPROACH TO AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP.
- Authors
Gardiner, Rita A.
- Abstract
Can authentic leadership engender ethical communities? If so, in what ways? One way that leading authentically may help engender ethical communities is by attending to relationships. Focusing on relational aspects may have value in promoting the ethical potential of authentic leadership. For that ethical potential to be realized, however, leaders must be mindful of differing viewpoints and diverse ways of leading-in-the-world. In developing my argument I draw upon the work of Hannah Arendt (1958, 1965, 1971, 2005) and Gail Furman (2004, 2012). I also share key findings from a phenomenological study into authentic leadership conducted with ten senior women leaders in higher education. I concentrate on two themes. The first theme concerns how leaders work to develop authentic engagement in the workplace. The second theme relates to the ways in which institutional limitations can hamper a leader's ability to lead in a genuine manner. As such, authentic leadership may be more complex than current research indicates.
