Chapters explore social constructionist approaches to leadership; relational leadership; ethics, leadership and strategic HRM; power and the dark side of leadership, as well as the implications of leadership in the digital era and leadership in an age of increased surveillance.

Features include: · Non-Western case studies that give a truly global outlook. · A Decolonising Leadership feature that highlights diverse sources and perspectives to encourage you to look beyond the traditional leadership canon. · Reflective questions that encourage critical thinking.

Leadership 101
by Tony HarrisWhether you have just been appointed captain of your sports team, the head of an organising committee or director of a work division, the mantle of leadership can feel heavy. Inevitably, this new position will bring responsibilities you've never experienced before. Fortunately, there are many brilliant books written about leadership. Less fortunately, you are unlikely to find the time with all your new responsibilities to read them all, or indeed, any of them. So, Tony Harris has brought over three decades of his experience to create a book of 101 observations each in a mere 101 words, designed to help, remind and encourage anybody who suddenly finds themselves in charge. Many have been there before you and doubted their own suitability but they made it and, with a little sound advice, so will you.

Leadership Across Boundaries: A Passage to Aporia (Leadership: Research and Practice)
by Nathan HarterLeadership Across Boundaries: A Passage to Aporia theorizes on leadership in an unprecedented manner by stepping outside of conventional leadership theory and importing into leadership studies the implications of certain innovations in the social sciences, such as pluralism, complexity theory, and the dialogical turn, to change the way scholars discuss and study leadership. Leadership Across Boundaries anchors theoretical passages that generate a new way of imagining what it means to lead and follow with concrete examples about Martin Luther, the Common Law, dialogue as a practice, a painting by Diego Velázquez, synchronized fireflies, and the strange career of Francis of Assisi. This book acknowledges the limitations of existing leadership research as being too leader-centric, simplistic, static, and in many cases oblivious to the power of images to shape our understanding. To rectify these limitations, Leadership Across Boundaries examines alternative images of leadership grounded in concrete examples that present leadership in an unprecedented light. The book includes a discussion of invigorating ideas of homeward leadership (looking backward), extra-ordinary leadership (going forward), and what will be defined as the perennial need for aikido politics. An interdisciplinary text, Leadership Across Boundaries: A Passage to Aporia will appeal not only to scholars, instructors, and students of leadership, but also to those in the many fields in which leadership theory applies, such as history, economics, sociology, archetypal psychology, the law, political philosophy, applied mathematics, and the martial arts.

Leadership Agility: Developing Your Repertoire of Leadership Styles
by Ron Meyer Ronald MeijersLeadership is about influencing others to move in a certain direction and there are many ways of achieving this influence. Each of these leadership styles has its inherent qualities and pitfalls, and will be more suited to specific people and different circumstances. The more leaders understand their preferred leadership styles and are able to flexibly switch to the most suitable style given the situation, the more effective they will be. This book maps out ten sets of opposite leadership styles, giving readers the possibility to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and to identify their own current preference. The ten leadership style dimensions cover the full range of leadership roles, from the leader as coach (interpersonal leadership), to the leader as organizer (organizational leadership), as strategist (strategic leadership), as sense-maker (leadership and mission) and as role model (leadership and self). Readers are invited to draw up their own leadership development plans, which is supported by an interactive App. Readers are also challenged to reflect on how they would approach a number of cases, after which they can go to an interactive web-forum to read how others have responded and engage in a discussion with them. Leadership Agility is a useful tool for practitioners in the corporate world as well as business students and emerging leaders.

Leadership and Business Ethics (Issues in Business Ethics #25)
by Gabriel FlynnGabriel Flynn and Patricia H. Werhane This book points to a necessary relationship between ethics and business; the success of such an alliance depends directly on sound business leadership. Without the sort of leadership that upholds the dignity and rights of employees and clients, as well as the interests of shareholders, even the most meticulously prepared ethics statements are destined to founder, as evidenced at Enron and elsewhere. Over the past 30 years or so, since business ethics became established as a discipline in its own right, much progress has been made in the ethical conduct of business at all levels. In short, business people, like politicians, doctors and church leaders, have come to realize that it is not possible to avoid involvement in ethics, for much of what business people do and cannot do may be subject to ethical evaluation. While the history of business ethics as currently practised may be traced to the medieval and ancient periods; our principal concern is with developments in the ?eld over recent decades. A consideration of how the topic has been treated by the Harvard Business Review, the business world’sleadingprofessionaljournal,provideshelpful insights into past progress and present challenges. In 1929, just as business ethics was beginning to evolve, Wallace B.
Leadership and Business Ethics (Issues in Business Ethics #60)

It proposes practical advice and viable suggestions to business people on what is right and wrong in business. The volume makes a vital contribution in the area of education that should serve the ongoing development of top leaders. In the important domain of women in leadership, the volume provides new solutions that break boundaries on the global stage. The work challenges unethical marketing of human images with important implications for citizenship and society. The volume contains creative suggestions for the use of spirituality and human development for the enhancement of business and society. The significantly extended second edition includes an exciting line up of leading academics and practitioners in the audacious hope that something may change for the better in the realms of business and banking.
Leadership and Calling Through the Prism of Scripture: A Phenomenological Study of Biblical Leaders (Christian Faith Perspectives in Leadership and Business)
by Fred Wantante Settuba-Male Gia R. TatoneThis volume offers phenomenological studies that examine the lived experiences of biblical leaders, emphasizing external summons and a prosocial intention while offering suggestions for future research. Part 1 focuses on various aspects of divine calling and leadership, covering topics such as the calling of biblical prophets like Jeremiah and Samuel, and the downfall of Solomon. Part 2 explores successful biblical leadership and followership from a qualitative, phenomenological lens, analyzing the experiences of Abraham, Paul, and Samson. Part 3 presents both positive and negative portrayals of biblical leadership, demonstrating how both types can lead to social justice outcomes.Presenting a Christian perspective of the relationship between the leaders and their sense of calling, this book employs a phenomenological approach to investigate the significance of various aspects of God’s calling, such as the leader’s discernment of the calling, predictors of a leader’s calling, the social- cultural influences of the calling, the relationship between personality traits and calling, and the evolution of a leader’s calling. This book will contribute to scholarly discussions related to meaningful work, workplace satisfaction, employee engagement, and responsible leadership.
