新的领导类型不断出现。因为我们的思考方式会影响我们的行动方式，所以对这些修辞上的创新负责是很重要的。本文着重于这些类别中最新的一个——创造性领导。运用福柯式的“话语”概念，我解构了创造性领导的概念，因为它最近在五篇出版的文章中得到了体现。我认为，现有的解释对未来有一种决定论的看法，忽视了关于创造力的辩论历史，将创造力视为一种通用技能，低估了教师和领导者为了创造性地工作可能需要做的事情。我展示了所提供的创造性领导的概念与创造性学习的概念密切相关，并将一组文本提供的“配方”与大量关于旨在促进创造性学习的学校正在发生的事情的经验证据进行了对话。我认为，从文本和实证研究之间的对话中可以明显看出，教学领导力是缺失的，但实际上是最需要的，它植根于促进社会正义的领导/管理原则和实践中。
New categories of leadership are continually being invented. Because the ways we think are productive of the ways in which we act, it is important to hold these rhetorical innovations to account. This paper focuses on the latest of these categories – creative leadership. Mobilising a Foucauldian notion of ‘discourse’ I deconstruct the notion of creative leadership as it has recently been represented in five published texts. I suggest that the interpretation on offer has a determinist view of the future, ignores the history of debates about creativity, offers creativity as a generic skill and underestimates what it is that teachers and leaders might need to do in order to work creatively. I show that the notion of creative leadership on offer is strongly connected with that of creative learning, and put the ‘recipe’ offered by one set of texts into conversation with a body of empirical evidence about what is happening in schools that aim to promote creative learning. I argue that what is evident from the dialogue between the texts and the empirical studies is that it is pedagogical leadership that is absent but is actually most required, embedded in leadership/management principles and practices that promote social justice.
