Reviews
"... carefully, thoughtfully, evocatively and elegantly illuminates profound problems facing leadership theory and practice and offers powerful strategies for addressing those problems." Management Learning, Suze Wilson
"This is a substantial piece of work... The book is a reminder of how important it is for critical scholars to reach out and engage in activities of change." Gender, Work & Organization
"Liu's publication presents a highly recommended and hopeful read for all who wish to practise true allyship and urgently free leadership from the confines of oppression." LSE Review of Books
"... (There) are four options for resistance against the structural violence that governs university and corporate leadership. It all starts with decolonizing one's mind or what might also be called "A Short Course in Intellectual Self-Defense - Find your inner Chomsky". Secondly, find non-abusive and non-violent ways of relating to other people while trying to escape the pathological nightmare of Managerialism that governs our workplaces. Thirdly, re-imaging social meaning beyond the myths of leadership; and fourthly, read Helena Liu's exquisite book, "Redeeming Leadership." Counterpunch
