Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to leadership development founded on the principle of the Leader-as-Learner: a reflective human who pursues the 4C – virtues of courage, commitment, confidence and curiosity, rather than the laurels of traditional approaches of heroic leadership.
Design/methodology/approach
Exploring art-based methods and fostering a new approach to leadership development: Leaders-as-Learners.
Findings
In this paper, studies and theoretical findings from the literature are discussed.
Research limitations/implications
This paper includes extending life stories and modes of learning by projecting possible selves as leaders, to learn the daily practice of leadership.
Practical implications
Leadership involves not only the art of judgment but refines it through a learning orientation to confront volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity conditions.
Social implications
Leadership is not limited to organizations and in relation to work practices. It is a central aspect in all social affairs and integral to building societies which serve, through leaders, the common good.
Originality/value
An approach to leadership development that supports human flourishing and locates leadership among ordinary people who do extra-ordinary things.
