The essence of learning leadership -- Learning to be open to the contributions of others -- Learning critical reflection -- Learning to support the growth of others -- Learning collective leadership -- Learning to analyze experience -- Learning to question -- Learning democracy -- Learning to sustain hope in the face of struggle -- Learning to create community -- Appraising and modeling learning leadership.
Review: "This book offers a systematic look at the connections between learning and leading and the use of learning to inspire and organize for change. It explores two interrelated dimensions of learning leadership: the ways leaders themselves learn about leadership practice, and the way leaders foster the learning of those they work with. The book focuses on a number of important leadership activities and adopts a case study approach to illuminate how leaders themselves learn, how they impart knowledge to others, and how they support others in becoming more effective and enduring learners."--Jacket.
