Considering context in discursive leadership research

Gail T. Fairhurst

University of Cincinnati, USA, fairhug{at}ucmail.uc.edu

In addition to leadership psychology, there is another journey to understand the context of leadership that takes as its starting point the linguistic turn in the social and the organizational sciences. Those impacted by the linguistic turn are broadly social constructionist, discursive, and more qualitative than mainstream leadership scholars. In varying degrees, these scholars view context as multi-layered, co-created, contestable, and locally achieved. This article explores a constellation of perspectives united by these themes, introduces the qualitative special issue articles, and suggests directions for future research on the context of leadership.

Key Words: communication • discourse • discursive leadership • leadership • management of meaning • social construction
