Unleadership seeks to disrupt traditional leadership expectations, and to reveal alternative possibilities. Must heroic leaders always act with a well-reasoned and well-crafted vision and plans to achieve perfection? Where is the possibility for improvisation or learning from mistakes? How can formal and informal leaders encourage and develop a complementary set of leaderly practices that challenge our habits and expectations? We have characterised these

practices as paying it forward with kindness, confidently collaborating and connecting, catching the wave (taking timely action) and living with the unknown (embracing imperfection).
