Nicholas Clarke is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at EADA Business School, Spain. He teaches and researches in the fields of leadership, learning and development.

This book introduces readers to the most up to date research in this area and the differing theoretical perspectives that can help us better understand leadership as a relational phenomena. The book is the first to examine how recent ideas about how these new forms of relational leadership are put into practice as well as techniques, tools and strategies available to organisations to help do so.
