CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ARTICLE “REINVENTING LEADERSHIP: NEW MYTHS AND PRACTICES”

Abstract

The article “Reinventing Leadership: New Myths and Practices,” by Thomaz Wood Jr. and Ana Paula D. de Paula, published in the Revista de Administração de Empresas (Journal of Business Administration), constitutes a vigorous and intellectually stimulating contribution to the field of critical organizational studies. By proposing a deconstructive analysis of the contemporary discourse on leadership, the authors challenge entrenched paradigms of traditional management and reveal the symbolic and ideological effects hidden behind the apparent neutrality of this discourse.
