摘要：

In this article, we report an ethnographic, arts-based research inquiry into a leadership development initiative designed using principles of Organisational Theatre. We explore dynamics of relevance and intentionality that have been over-assumed and under-researched in leadership development to tease out implications for research and practice. Our empirical material is drawn from interviews, focus group workshops, an ethnodrama process, sustained observation and questionnaires. We offer two interconnected contributions: 1) the significance of 'the politics of intentionality' in a theoretical framing of leadership development and 2) the role of aesthetic reflexivity in navigating such politics. These contributions are accessed through a performance ontology anchored in the dramaturgical analysis of social life most famously applied by Goffman. Our overall framing of intentionality as a nuanced, fluid, plural and political alternative to purpose offers novel insight into the field of leadership development.
