Following-Leading in Risk 1/3: what's wrong with leadership models?
from Embracing Differences · host Nippin Anand
What are the two main problems with how leadership is taught and practiced today?1. Leadership is all about Masculinity and to be precise - a male-centric construct. It makes little space for Feminist Ethics. We think it matters to challenge this ideology.2. All dominant models and courses in Leadership are based on the Hero Myth. When we achieve success, it must be because we have good leaders. Is that true?This is the first in a series of three podcasts on ‘Following-Leading in Risk’. Joining me are Jenny Krasny, Craig Ashhurst and Robert Long. Through a dig into the history of leadership models, we discuss the two underlying problems of Masculinity and the Hero Myth that the ‘leadership industry’ faces today. As always, we keep to stories and experience grounded in research and practice. In the subsequent podcasts, we will introduce the Following-Leading model and how to apply it in practice.
