Abstract:

This paper presents an argument for establishing the purpose of leadership as peace. Leading for peace
assumes the possibility of moral progress. Using a dialectic approach, power and resistance are
considered not dualistic opposites, but rather complex, ambiguous and interrelated constructs. From this
dialectic, a model of resistance leadership, grounded in moral imagination, is presented. The Occupy
Wall Street Movement is discussed as an example of moral resistance leadership, operating in the service
of moral progress. By casting leadership as a certain kind of resistance, we discover a possible
framework for understanding social change within organizations and societies.
