The more complex and ambiguous this world becomes, the greater the
uncertainty leaders will face in their day to day professional and
personal lives, and the greater the need to recognize and develop
their leadership skills to help be the voice of reason when there's
nothing around them but chaos. The book presents real case studies
where the authors offer action learning methodologies grounded in
various leadership theories. Whether you are a firm or skeptical
believer in leadership development, the authors in this book,
through their experiences and observations, illustrate how
awareness, purpose, attitude, confidence, trust and mindset can
play such a critical role in overcoming the toughest of
circumstances.
Imagine a world with great leadership. What would that world be
like? Would it be a better world or a worse one? Now ratchet great
leadership up to exceptional leadership and suddenly we have cause
for optimism. But how do we design exceptional leadership, and
would we even know it if we saw it? Traditional paradigms of
leadership have celebrated decisive top-down control and analytical
decision-making. But times are changing. The world is more
connected, complex, fluid and interdependent. This book debunks the
myth that leaders need to be creative like designers to apply
Design Thinking. Applying design approaches and practices to
organizational leadership is not just about its leaders becoming
more creative. It is definitely not about the person at the top
coming up with the grand answer. Design thinking starts with the
'pain point' related to the problem you are trying to solve. You
get to the heart of the issue. It is a collaborative effort that
neatly leads stakeholders and representatives affected by the
problem to design novel leadership solutions that actually work.
This collection of stories, examples and narratives about
exceptional leadership by design provides readers of all levels of
experience with tangible, real, and heartfelt examples of how the
design process can be applied to leadership. It will show how we:
Inform great leadership with design Strengthen our own leadership
by design Redesign hero leadership for more inclusivity Redesign
organizations for Fe+Male leadership synergy Design leadership for
a VUCA world Design flow-based leadership Design organizations that
build resilient leadership Design leadership for innovation Design
culturally intelligent leadership Build leadership into our spaces
and places
Women Courageous: Leading Through the Labyrinth is a collection of
true experiences by women from different parts of the world,
leading in the political, academic, non-profit public, and private
sectors. The stories illustrate their courage and also include a
scholarly analysis to reshape our understanding of courage - how it
shows up, develops, and facilitates transformation. Through this
work, the editors offer a new definition: 'Courage is pushing
forward, step by step, while everything is holding you back. Often
unnoticed by others, courageous acts come with great emotional
challenges, and also with a sense of purpose and determination.
Courage is how we transform, not only ourselves but those we
support and love and the work to which we have dedicated our
lives.' This international group of authors weaves insights,
research, and practices gleaned from walking the leadership
labyrinth in their military, aerospace, public works, university,
and school education, and nonprofit careers. The book offers
stories of ambition, self-actualization, co-creation, as well as
conflict, loss, betrayal, and healing, that will echo your own
experience. The book will surprise you with new wisdom and releases
fresh courage in all of us, to rise and meet the monumental
challenges of this moment.
Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50
Named to the shortlist for the 2021 Outstanding Works of Literature
(OWL) Award in the Management & Culture Category In this
important and timely book, workplace well-being expert Jennifer
Moss helps leaders and individuals prevent burnout and create
healthier, happier, and more productive workplaces. We tend to
think of burnout as a problem we can solve with self-care: more
yoga, better breathing techniques, and more resilience. But
evidence is mounting that applying personal, Band-Aid solutions to
an epic and rapidly evolving workplace phenomenon isn't enough-in
fact, it's not even close. If we're going to solve this problem,
organizations must take the lead in developing an antiburnout
strategy that moves beyond apps, wellness programs, and perks. In
this eye-opening, paradigm-shifting, and practical guide, Jennifer
Moss lays bare the real causes of burnout and how organizations can
stop the chronic stress cycle that an alarming number of workers
suffer through. The Burnout Epidemic explains: What causes
burnout-and what organizations can do to prevent it Why traditional
wellness initiatives fall short How companies can build an
antiburnout strategy based on prevention, not perks How leaders can
measure burnout in their own organizations What leaders can do to
develop a healthier culture that prioritizes resilience and
curiosity As the pandemic has shown, self-care is important, but
it's not a cure-all for burnout. Employers need to do more. With
fascinating research, new findings from the pandemic, and
interviews with business leaders around the globe, The Burnout
Epidemic offers readers insightful and actionable advice that will
empower them to help themselves-and their employees-feel healthier
and happier at work.
Although it is vital that the incorporation of ICT into academic
culture is effective and lasting, the very nature of higher
education, with its long ties to tradition and academic values,
does not lend itself easily to emerging ICT strategies. This book
asks how we, as educators, can shift mind-sets, practices,
policies, and attitudes in higher education in order to serve
society and meet the educational needs of today. Tackling the
critical question of how to manage knowledge for value creation in
the higher education environment, the authors draw attention to
smart ICT use for knowledge creation and sharing. Serving up a
mixture of case studies, examples, questions and tools, they also
deliver insights on the human element involved in both ICT and
higher education. By providing a conceptual model for implementing
Knowledge 4.0 in educational environments, this book ultimately
facilitates a dialogue within higher education institutions that
brings forth emerging practices and examples of cultural
adaptation. Confronting the idea that innovation brings chaos to
institutions steeped in tradition, this edited collection is a
must-have guide for those interested effecting technological change
in educational environments while also sustaining academic quality
and delivering meaningful learning outcomes.
Visionary Leadership in a Turbulent World: Thriving in the New VUCA
Context, is the thoughtful analysis of nine expert authors from
around the globe who put VUCA under the microscope and take the

embrace this new VUCA context and learn how to thrive within it.
The book suggests ways in which organizational leadership can seek
to develop both the self and the organization to systemically and
ethically address VUCA with innovation, collaboration, and cultural
intelligence, whilst also effectively managing the self with
resilience and flow, and supporting everyone in the organization
with effective systems coaching. Visionary Leadership in a
Turbulent World: Thriving in the New VUCA Context, by the
collaboration that engendered it, the innovation and research that

midst of real VUCA moments, models the principles and practices

Jennifer Moss's BEAST, TO BE YOUR FRIEND, a finalist in the 2008
New Michigan Press/DIAGRAM chapbook contest, is a strange beast
indeed. Beautiful and odd in equal measure, these poems charm, are
charms themselves collected on a string, shining, shrinking,
shirking all of their duties, opting instead for play. Instead they
make up a tiny bestiary (birds, goats, calves, cows, centaurs,
octopi, zebras, dogs, and more) and court the darkness under
everything.
