Abstract
This article aims to extend contemporary work on relational leadership theory
by conceptualizing leadership as embedded in the everyday relationally-responsive
dialogical practices of leaders. Relational leadership requires a way of engaging with the
world in which the leader holds herself/himself as always in relation with, and therefore
morally accountable to others; recognizes the inherently polyphonic and heteroglossic
nature of life; and engages in relational dialogue. This way of theorizing leadership
also has practical implications in helping sensitize leaders to the importance of their
relationships and to features of conversations and everyday mundane occurrences
that can reveal new possibilities for morally-responsible leadership. We develop and
illustrate the notion of relational leadership by drawing on the work of Bakhtin and
Ricoeur, and on an empirical study of Federal Security Directors.
Best wishes,
Claire Castle
