Abstract:
The paper addresses some of the dilemmas that business schools face in their attempts
to teach in conventional educational settings, practices such as leadership that are profoundly
informed by experience. In the initial section of the paper, the recognition of relationship as the
primary medium of education is advocated and the implications of this for the integration of
leadership theory and practice are explored. Thereafter, the paper offers live generic themes for
the content of leadership education programs in business schools and discusses various
pedagogical processes through which the effectiveness of this thematic material in addressing
the dilemmas of leadership education in a changing world order can be enhanced.
