  What kind of a leader do you want to become? The role of business schools in developing future managers and leaders has long been scrutinised and critiqued. This has been exacerbated by the recent financial crisis and many books have been written that condemn business schools for producing leaders who graduate without the ability to respond to the changing world around them, innovate, or act in a responsible way. This provocative book takes the critique and debate further by exploring existing teaching practices and suggesting ways that business schools can: * Encourage a greater understanding of different world views * Introduce different perspectives such as the arts, philosophy and spirituality * Encourage the practice of responsible and ethical leadership * Nurture innovation and creativity. Developing Leadership is accompanied by filmed seminars exploring the central debates, and interviews with the expert team of contributors.
