Whether leading a small team or a multinational corporation, within
the public or private sector, a thorough understanding of the
theory and best practice of leadership is essential. Leadership:
Regional and Global Perspectives provides a fresh approach to
leading in contemporary business environments. The theory component
is complemented by a focus on strategic application. Each chapter
features case studies highlighting the practical application of key
concepts by organisational leaders in the Australasian region. Case
studies at the end of each chapter provide a more nuanced analysis
of the theory, while accompanying questions encourage students to
think critically. Learning is further supported through the
inclusion of learning objectives, key terms, further readings and
review questions. An extensive bank of web resources is available
to lecturers to support their teaching. Written by an expert team
of academics from across Australia, Leadership gives students the
tools they need to navigate their leadership journey.

Every decade has its version of the subculture. The 50s had the
beatniks with their restless Benzedrine wanderings, the 60s had the
hippies with their LSD-inspired politics, the 70s and 80s led into
the cocaine riddled noses of punks and hair metal, and the 90s
destroyed lives with heroin and prescription drug addiction - but
always there was the idea of capturing moments of great depravity
in writing. The counterculture of the 2000s grabs a bottle of cough
syrup off the shelf and says, "Eh, fuck it..." Based on the
author's real experience, RoboChildren documents that mentality
like nothing before it. What brand of mayhem sits in your medicine
cabinet? On the surface, RoboChildren is a story of a group of
teenagers abusing drugs - particularly DXM, the active ingredient
in everyday cough syrups - to satisfy adolescent angst and the need
to rebel. But underneath, it is an ode to the existential struggles
of today's youth, who are turning to more dangerous behaviors in an
attempt to define themselves in a cruel universe. The narrator,
James, is an awkward and angry individual, who sees the entire
world through morbid and paranoid eyes, even perceiving his friends
as enemies. The road of heavy drug abuse drives James and his
off-beat group of misfit buddies to throw caution out the window as
they speed from one act of reckless abandon to the next, losing
touch with reality along the way. James' mind is being split in two
- one side, a promising young adult aspiring to reach great
heights, the other, a drug addled outcast bent on destruction.
Along the way we meet James' friends, Zach, a hopeless thrill
junky; Phil, a sociopathic addict of the most perverse variety;
Gary, a volatile madman with nihilistic tendencies; and Daniel, the
self-proclaimed spiritual mentor to the gang. Together, they form
the RoboChildren, believing they have truly found the answer to
life, and taking every risk to obtain it.
