Whatever happened to leadership?
Purpose – Proposes to provide a summary of ideas with regard to leadership and management with the author's interpretation of these and some of the issues these raise. Design/methodology/approach – Discussion of the manager versus leader debate followed by a discussion of organisational leadership (as opposed to individual leadership) with specific reference to the kaizen (Japanese) approach. Findings – That leadership programs have frequently failed to produce leaders and that groups tasked with leadership development often do not produce leaders either for their organisation or within their own group. Research limitations/implications – No real statistics or research evidence is provided. The conclusions are subjective and anecdotal. Practical implications – It should cause readers to consider their own organisational development and whether leaders can be created. Originality/value – The recent views of the CIPD and Prof. John Adair are included.
