Spacing Leadership with Greta Thunberg: A materializing ‘story-so-far’
通过批判地理学和组织传播理论，分析格蕾塔·通贝里如何通过空间关系和沟通实践构建领导力，提出四种‘至今故事’（儿童、旅行者、活动家、学习者）及四种空间领导力实践（缩小、自然化、挣扎、清理），对研究领导力物质化过程有参考价值。
How should we interpret the figure of Greta Thunberg and the leadership constituted through and around her? This question drives an inquiry that enhances knowledge of the materializing of leadership through a spatial analysis rooted conceptually in critical geography and the communicative constitution of organizations (CCO). Building from the insights of geographer Doreen Massey and CCO scholar Consuelo Vásquez, the inquiry contributes by surfacing the spatial relations and communicative practices that co-constitutively knit together bodies and their objects in leadership, enabling a rich inquiry that illuminates mobilizations around the most complex issue of the day – climate change. Building multimodally with data derived from media and speeches, we posit four communicated ‘stories-so-far’ of Thunberg, decentred and communicated figures who merge and co-exist to constitute a composite Thunberg-the-Leader: the Child , Traveller , Activist and Learner . We then offer a model theorizing the underlying spacing leadership practices that act across and between figured stories-so-far, drawing them together, making certain constitutions of leadership (im)possible: shrinking , naturalizing , struggling and clearing . Concluding, we assert that this approach holds the possibility of making abstracted aspects of leadership materially present, while drawing together conceptual resources that have to date not been placed in productive dialogue.
