From cathedrals to cubicles, people go to great lengths and expense
to design their living and working environments. They want their
spaces to be places where they enjoy being, reflecting who they are
and what they care about. The resultant environments in turn become
loud, albeit unvocal, leaders for people occupying those
corresponding spaces. The design and use of work and living spaces
typifies and thematizes expectations for the group. Essentially,
the architecture of rooms, buildings and cities creates cultures by
conveying explicit and implicit messages. This is evident when
people approach and walk into St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, the
Forbidden City in Beijing, the Sydney Opera House in Sydney,
Australia, the Jewish Museum in Berlin, or the Rothko Chapel in
Houston, to name some examples. While leaders oftentimes lack the
resources to have their spaces mirror the greatest architectural
achievements of the world, they are in a position to use the art
and science of architecture, at whatever scale is available, to
their advantage. The creative and intentional use of space and
place advances and promotes cherished values and enhances
organizational effectiveness. This book explores the essence of
good architecture and establishes relevant connections for leaders
and managers to strategically design and use the organizational
workplace and space to support their mission and purpose, and
create aesthetically meaningful work environments. It equips
leaders to be culturally astute on what defines good architecture
and to incorporate principles of beauty in their leadership
practices accordingly and will be of interest to researchers,
academics, professionals, and students in the fields of leadership,
organizational studies, and architecture theory and practice.
