Widening the leadership mythology: in the search for Simorgh

Abstract

This short paper explores the use of storytelling through the folklore of Simorgh in order to facilitate students' learning on critical perspectives of leadership. Through examining, imagining, and (re)interpreting the myths of Simorgh, we argue that storytelling could be particularly useful to invoke student discussion on the meanings of leadership and enhance their understanding on critical perspectives of leadership.PIJ/Volume 2 -Issue 1/2017 -5 -
