Author Description

The best leaders harness the potential of people and ideas to achieve their organization's goal. In Reimaginative Leadership, a reconceptualization of leadership in the twenty-first century is posited. Focussing on the Caribbean, Canute S. Thompson advances a new narrative and offers a different lens from which to view leaders and workers. Divided into three parts, Reimaginative Leadership examines the origins, nature and application of a reimagined leadership based on care, courage, trust and accountability in response to the new generation of workers. Building on his earlier work in Leadership Reimagination: A Primer of Principles and Practice (2013) and Locating the Epicentre of Effective Educational Leadership in the 21st Century (2015), Thompson takes a humanistic approach and articulates nine concepts as the fundamental basis for a new theory of leadership. Intended for the leader and worker alike, Reimaginative Leadership provides a guide to navigating challenging and complex issues in the twenty-first-century organization.
