Abstract: 
This article introduces readers to a new approach to leadership that has come on the scene in recent years, and it is called “Leadership-as-Practice.” As an offshoot of the so-called “practice turn” in the social sciences, referring to the study of everyday activities, it challenges some of our traditional views of leadership that have relied on the grandeur of particular traits and behaviors of gifted individuals, who are accorded power over those called followers. And followers are those told to take their place in line. In leadership-as-practice, or L-A-P, we look for leadership in everyday practices, those regularized and sometime emergent activities performed by various actors within an organization or community. In L-A-P, to find leadership, we must look to the practices within which it is occurring.
