Leadership Performance and Rhetoric

More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of rhetoric and leadership, this book analyzes the methods of Sir Francis Bacon in the context of contemporary Australian politics. Through six case studies, it explores the rhetorical strategies employed by leaders such as Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Turnbull, Carr, and Pearson to establish their legitimacy. By applying Bacon's political philosophy to modern leadership analysis, the authors provide a fresh perspective on the complexities of political discourse, making it relevant for students and scholars in political science, communication, and history.
