Abstract

The interpretation of Bourdieusian reflexivity developed in Chapter 7 has the potential to illuminate the nature of knowledge and the process by which, as researchers into organisations and management, we add to it. In this chapter we set out this claim and then aim to demonstrate it, by shedding new light on the discourse on leadership that we left in Chapter 4. We think that is a worthwhile contribution to make. But there is more. Yes, research can illuminate leadership, and if new insight can be offered in a confusing field, all the better. But the converse is true as well: raising the quantity or quality of knowledge may require leadership. Both are complex social processes; both processes are intertwined.
