The Unleadership Movement
In integrating unleadership into organisational life after the pandemic, we anticipate a flourishing of creativity and the humanising of our workplaces to accommodate the human spirit. Covid-19 has brought unprecedented disruption to our lives and workplaces. The leaderly acts that have emerged have often been from unexpected places and have achieved outcomes that inspired us. We have examined and characterised these acts and associated practices, describing them as “unleadership” (Jarvis et al, 2020; Kars-Unluoglu et al, 2022).
As we begin to look towards recovery, we want to extend our understanding of unleadership in conversation with a wide range of organisations and individuals, in public, private, voluntary and charity sectors. We want to develop a more holistic understanding of these leaderly practices. We are curious about how these leaderly practices can allow communities and organisations to tap into their latent leadership potential. Through seeking out the less obvious and illuminating the spaces in-between we want to create a new movement for unleadership. We want to collaborate, reflect upon and be inspired by the leaderly actions of others co-creating innovations that keep developing the concept and practices of unleadership.
