This book explores two interrelated dimensions of learning leadership â the ways leaders themselves learn about leadership practice, and the way leaders foster the learning of those they work with. The best leaders enjoy a capacity to be taught, to work collaboratively with followers, to listen and learn from people around them, and, in many cases, to lead by being led. Such leaders are developmental leaders, chiefly interested in drawing out the abilities and capacities of their followers. They do this by remaining open to what those followers can impart to them as much as by guiding them to new possibilities.
Learning as a Way of Leading focuses on a number of important leadership activities such as publicly modeling engagement in learning, seeing learning as a daily professional imperative, and communicating to colleagues the lessons learned. The book adopts a case study approach to illuminate how leaders themselves learn, how they impart knowledge to others, and how they support others in becoming more effective and enduring learners. These leaders also support their co-workers in challenging the status quo, in expanding the boundaries of what can be accomplished together, and in raising standards of what we expect from each other, both intellectually and morally.
