The academics' narratives consider how individuals navigate the disciplinary and institutional context as emergent and established leaders in learning and teaching.  These learning and teaching leadership narratives highlight the commonalities and differences in the struggles that academic leaders across the world encounter within their unique institutional and disciplinary contexts. The journeys of learning and teaching leadership are often fuzzy owing to lack of well-established structures and pathways which may be further complicated by the unique institutional and disciplinary contexts. This book contributes to our understanding of the impact of disciplinary and institutional contexts on the practice of learning and \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this important volume captures a plurality of voices, a variety of contexts and a diversity of experiences, it is fascinating to detect and distil some important points of intersection in the narratives. Three that stand out are that leadership is always a journey, never a destination; it flourishes through social influence, seldom remote direction; and it is fundamentally about relationship, not power or prestige. More than just a collection of hard-earned wisdom and insight, this book is also a compelling read. * Doug Parkin, Principal Adviser for Leadership and Management, Advance HE, and independent author on higher education, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNarratives of Becoming Leaders\u003c\/i\u003e offers valuable practical and theoretical lessons about pathways to teaching and learning leadership in higher education institutions across contexts.
