Through means of the above deconstruction, Derrida shows that the relationship between the bricoleur and engineer is not oppositional, but differential. It is because of this insight that the ironic figure can be modelled on the figure of the self-conscious bricoleur, who would be defined as someone who is capable of channeling contingency and difference in a productive and playful manner, and of creatively reconciling diverse strategies. Successful leaders are bricoleurs, to the extent that they are able to act as ‘intellectual MacGyvers’ (Croak 2011). Such leaders are capable of tapping into organisational and societal narratives and sub-cultures, in order to facilitate the development of ‘a meaning-producing pastiche’ (Croak 2011), which constitutes a sense of dynamic organisational identity. As such, leaders can employ irony in nurturing a sense of working community, which in itself is a deeply ethical activity, if ethics is understood as one of the ways in which we constitute ourselves and our practices.
