"A fabulous collection of articles and authors for anyone interested in critical approaches to leadership and a worthy stand against the complacency and conceit that passes for so much literature in the leadership field. This is a veritable beacon of light amidst the conventional sea of leadership fog and formulae that promise so much and deliver so little." Keith Grint, Emeritus Professor, Warwick Business School
"The articles in this Critical Companion take leadership studies from a dismal science to a dazzling art. The authors poke at the fields positivist dogma, tackle pressing questions about todays leaders, and even take to task the word leadership. They do this to offer new and better ways of understanding and imagining leaders and followers." Professor Joanne B. Ciulla, Rutgers University
