Leadership is a

“socially constructed… common process in which the organizational members find themselves and through which they negotiate the becoming of commonly shared phenomena.”

– Petrm Salovaara, From Leader-Centricity Toward Leadership – A Hermeneutic Narrative Study, Helskinki,Finalnd: University of Tampere, 2011

 

“… leadership is an aesthetic, embodied phenomenon, a subjective ‘felt experience’, rather than one person influencing another.”

– Arja Ropo et al, Leadership in Spaces and Places, Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar, 2015
