Leadership: influencing what matters

A very quick post to flag up the fact that I have an article up on the HR Magazine website on leadership as being about influencing the things that matter.

It's a piece which tries to define leadership as a highly political construct and to draw on some basic ideas from psychoanalytic theory to illustrate this - all in accessible language. The argument is essentially that a big part of leadership is about generating debate and surfacing what people stand for - but that this is hard work.

You can access the article here:

Oh and I have no idea why they chose a picture of a shadowy man in a doorway ... I am rather pleased with this image actually, just not quite sure how it is related to influencing!
