Argues that the heroic leader, the charismatic, goal-scoring superstar who doesn’t mind carrying the team on his back, is out. Instead champions the post-heroic leader, the quieter, engaging team player who brings every player into the decision-making process. Describes why today’s complex business environment actually requires a leader who combines the best of both styles. Article type: Conceptual paper ISSN: 1481-8248 Reference: 39AL279
