Leadership - random thoughts

Lots to do in terms of the assignment (due very soon - though not very far along) but thought i'd record some random thoughts that have come about while reading...

I've long been interested in the notion of the spaces in between things - the words unsaid or the gesture unrealised so when thinking about distributed leadership I felt drawn to the Youngs (2009) and the concept of the space that is required to allow leadership - not necessarily structural space but the ethos and personality of an organisation and the support (and trust/ openness) that is required to achieve this.
Likewise I appreciate the idea of leaders as navigating of expertise.

Have also been thinking of telling some bosses at work that leadership is more than management!
