Advancing Democracy: A Critical Interpretation of Leadership.

Tierney, William G.

Peabody Journal of Education, v66 n3 p157-75 Spr 1989

A critical interpretation of transformational leadership, based on postmodern assumptions of democracy, examines ways to reconceive the idea of leadership by placing it into practical terms (thus advancing democracy). A case study of a small, private liberal arts college highlights the theoretical underpinnings of critical leadership. (SM)
