Discursive Leadership in Higher Education: The Case of Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter at Ole Miss

Authors

Milorad M. Novicevic, University of Mississippi

Abstract

In this essay I explain the concept of discursive leadership and describe how it is mapped on the leadership practice of Dr. Jeffrey Vitter, Ole Miss Chancellor. I provide multiple examples illustrating instances of this mapping and outline the vocabulary of key terms that my MBA students derived from Chancellor Vitter’s letters, speeches, statements, and social media presence. My essay provides a unique contribution to our understanding of discursive leadership practice in the context of higher education.
