  Drawing on the many studies of managers trying to 'do' leadership, this book presents six metaphors for the leader: as gardener, cosy-crafter, saint, cyborg, commander and bully. It sheds light on a varied - often contradictory and sometimes darker - side of leadership. It is suitable for students and researchers, as well as the thinking managers.
