PurposeDespite the vast amount of literature covering the concept of leadership, it remains contentious, under‐conceptualised and often uncritical. The purpose of this paper is to question the validity of the concept and dispute its application.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews what the idea of leadership means, how it relates to competing accounts of management in the public services, and what value it adds.FindingsThere is no evident reason why the supposed roles, tasks, or qualities of “leadership” either need to be or should be concentrated in the person of a leader; the tasks involved in “leading” an organisation are not in fact the tasks of motivation, influence or direction of others which are at the core of the literature; and there is no reason to suppose that leadership is a primary influence on the behaviour of most organisations.Practical implicationsIn the context of the public services, there is no set of skills, behaviours or roles that could be applied acr...
