This innovative book explores the universal and cultural
foundations that underlie the dynamics of leadership. It asks key
questions such as: why are we attracted to leaders? Why do we
perceive certain leaders as charismatic? And why do some leaders
who are perceived as charismatic during a certain period cease to
be perceived as such in another period? Taking a unique
evolutionary and cultural perspective, Micha Popper and Omri
Castelnovo argue that the desire for leaders is inherent in the
'evolutionary software' of the human race. They provide an
observation of the basic evolutionary foundations common to all
animals before exploring elements that are unique to humans. The
book considers acquired signals, universal and cultural signs of
leadership and the phenomenon of charisma. Through the presentation
of case studies and historical examples, the book demonstrates how
followers create images of leadership and how evolutionary,
psychological, and cultural aspects affect this process. Original
and visionary in its approach, this book will be a valuable
resource for scholars and students with a focus on business
leadership, organizational behavior, and organizational psychology.
Its use of both contemporary and historical case studies will also
be beneficial for business managers and practitioners.

Intended for those who are troubled by their lives and want to make
changes, but don't know where to begin, this is a book about
relationships. It is not intended as a self-help book, but as one
which will encourage the reader to really think about themselves
and the way they act - how their behaviour is driven by thoughts,
feelings, and impulses of which they may not have any conscious
awareness. Jukes examines his 'Mad Hypothesis' - so called because
it seems, at first glance, to be 'mad.' He has used it successfully
in therapeutic work to refer to everything that is wrong in a
patient's relationship and even their life: "You are responsible
for everything that is wrong with your relationship including any
behaviour of your partner which you use to justify, excuse, or in
any other way account for yo own behaviour towards him/her, or the
world in general." The author draws on his vast clinical experience
to explore this fascinating idea and looks at other related issues
such as anxiety, sulking, masochism, and attachment. He also
includes many illuminating case-studies which perfectly illustrate
his theories and make the text accessible to both clinicians and
non-professionals.

Within these pages James K. Beggan puts forward a novel approach to
understanding sexual harassment by high value superstars in the
workplace. The approach integrates ideas derived from evolutionary
theory, utility theory, sexual scripting theory and research on the
regulation of emotion. Besides providing a better understanding of
the phenomenon, the book aims to contribute to the development of
better techniques to prevent sexual harassment. Recently, credible
allegations of sexual misconduct against high profile figures have
dominated the news. Sexual harassment has become an important issue
for leaders and those who study leadership. The author presents a
new approach to understanding sexual harassment in the #MeToo era
that integrates research from a diverse range of areas typically
ignored by researchers. Ideas derived from this new approach are
used to propose more effective methods for the elimination of
sexual harassment in the workplace. The book also addresses how
efforts to prevent sexual harassment may interfere with the free
expression of sexuality and ultimately threaten the rights of the
individual. Academics and journalists interested in understanding
sexual harassment, including graduate students, and undergraduates
enrolled in upper division specialized courses in gender relations
will find this book to be innovative and informative.
