Abstract

We noted in the Prologue that we are hesitant about suggesting that what we have sketched out here is a new theory of leadership. We are by no means convinced that the world would be a better place for having yet another one; furthermore, as we have shown, the idea of leaders as performers is hardly novel. Nonetheless, the performative perspective does seem to make a distinct contribution to the sense-making school of leadership, building on its foundations and acknowledging its significance whilst seeking to address some of its shortfalls. In summarising where we think our account moves beyond sense-making, we focus on the work of Keith Grint simply because he is the most insightful and influential of the writers in this “tradition” (of which we very much consider ourselves a part).
