Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: Leadership literacies for professional staff in universities

The aim of this thesis is to identify leadership literacies for professional staff working in universities. The rationale for this inquiry, at its heart, is about individuals and their capacity to change and influence wider groupings, be they leaders or followers within knowledge-intensive enterprises. The overarching drivers of this thesis are the interrelationships between leadership, language, literacies and learning as the means to make these cognitive shifts.
