As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, we are
seeing a renaissance of context in influencing leadership,
leader-follower relations, and leader effectiveness as well as a
recognition of the tripartite nature of leadership. To fully
understand and appreciate leadership, one must see the multiple
parts of it as well as the connections among them. Leadership is
multi-dimensional; leadership depends on leaders, followers, and
context. Leadership research in the past three decades has been
dominated by interest in neo-charismatic leadership styles and a
focus on leadermember exchange in leader-follower relationships.
Recently other approaches to leadership, such as ethical and
authentic leaders, have garnered greater attention in response to
the moral and ethical challenges in the workplace. Additionally,
established approaches to leadership emergence and development have
been challenged by their relevance to diverse work forces and
issues of inclusion. This twelve article volume includes an
outstanding roster of established and emerging leadership authors
who tackle questions of leadership at the intersections of leaders,
followers, and context. The volume opens with two articles that set
the stage for the current state of leadership research and paths
for its future including a commentary by Edwin Locke and Gary
Latham on current management research practices and an
action-oriented review of leadership research from the start of the
21st century. The volume is organized around three themes:
leadership and diversity, leaderfollower relationships, and systems
of leader, follower, and context. Articles in the volume advance
diversity research with an integration of leadership and diversity
theories that demonstrate the former's need for re-examination in
light of the latter, a systematic development of inclusive
leadership theory, and a close examination of immigrant ethnic
identity. The authors of several articles expand our understanding
of leader-follower relationships in the context of teams and
alliances, the contextual boundaries of authentic leadership
theory, and the authentic leader's potential impact on harassment
in organizations. The volume culminates with three demonstrations
of leadership as systems of leader-follower-context interaction,
including a close examination of the toxic triangle's manifestation
in university scandals, a micro-process model of power and
leadership, and a configurational approach to studying leadership.
The volume is designed primarily for scholars in the fields of
human resource management, organizational behavior, and leadership.
It also well serves the needs of instructors and students in
master's and doctoral courses in leadership or organizational
behavior. Each article is grounded in managerial context that will
appeal to practitioners in the field.

In Ten Trips neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell takes ten different
psychedelic drugs in ten different settings, puncturing the hype
while providing the fullest picture yet of their limitlessly
fascinating possibilities. Once demonised and still largely
illegal, psychedelic drugs are now officially a 'breakthrough
therapy', used to treat depression, trauma and addiction and to
enhance well-being. But as neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell shows in
this deeply serious yet wildly entertaining investigation, this
approach misses what is so strange and valuable about them: the
psychedelic experience itself. In Ten Trips he takes ten different
compounds, some famous, others obscure, journeying from a
neuroimaging lab in London to the Colombian Amazon via Silicon
Valley and his friend's basement kitchen. His encounters with
scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con-men,
psychonauts and shamans provide a panoramic view of psychedelics
today: their capacity for healing but also trauma, for
transcendence and corruption, profundity and hilarity. By removing
psychedelics from their indigenous and underground cultures, we
risk losing the very things we need to harness them. To make them
safe or normal might ultimately destroy what makes them potent.
That potential is indeed great, not as an antidote to mental
illness - none exists - but as a way of changing our whole
perspective on mental health and flourishing. Ten Trips is a
dazzling, perception-shifting odyssey that shows how psychedelics
can re-enchant us with the world.
This book explores elements of team dynamics and interactions that
block or enable effective ideation. The author investigates
interpersonal dynamics, inhibitors of collaboration and boosters of
ideation efficiency that govern the ability of a team to generate
new and valuable ideas. Where it is widely accepted that teams are
a necessity in the creative process, this book highlights the
inconsistency in terms of quality and reliability of creative
output when looking at teams. Why do some teams struggle, and
others succeed in innovating? This book offers a valuable resource
for those interested in the qualities and interventions that can
impact the ideation potential of a team.
