specializes in high performance technologies, with an emphasis in
transformational learning. He writes, "The aim of the thesis is to
develop a reconstructive postmodern model of leadership, a stage of
leadership that is distinguished by its relational, constructivist,
developmental and integrative epistemology. The two primary objectives
of the thesis are to: 1. Clearly distinguish this stage of leadership
from prior stages, 2. Explore and critically evaluate approaches to
developing competency in this leadership style."
