Listen "Exploring Leadership: Chapter 2"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Brent’s Notepad, we dive into Chapter 2 of Exploring Leadership (2nd edition), written by Richard Bolden, Jonathan Gosling, and Beverly Hawkins. The chapter traces leadership from Ancient Greece and Eastern thinkers to modern theories, showing how political, social, cultural, and economic contexts shape how we understand leadership. We unpack three major approaches: leadership as a property of leaders, as a relationship between leaders and followers, and as a social process, highlighting practical takeaways from trait, behavior, situational, transformational, servant, and distributed perspectives. Tune in for a clear, research-informed look at leadership that’s both accessible and immediately useful for anyone who wants to lead better.Exploring Leadership:Bolden, R., Gosling, J., & Hawkins, B.
