In this episode of Brent’s Notepad, we dive into Chapter 4 of Exploring Leadership (2nd edition), written by Richard Bolden, Jonathan Gosling, and Beverley Hawkins. This chapter explores leadership through the lens of relationships, highlighting how authenticity, emotion, narrative, and identity shape the practice of leading. We look at transformational and transactional leadership, the role of charisma, and how emotional intelligence underpins trust, resilience, and influence. The authors also examine storytelling as a powerful leadership tool and challenge us to see leadership as identity work, an ongoing process of becoming that intersects with culture, values, and personal experience. Together, these insights remind us that leadership is not just strategic, but deeply emotional, relational, and profoundly human.Exploring Leadership:Bolden, R., Gosling, J., & Hawkins, B. (2023).
