This book explores the notion of authenticity in leaders and
examines how authentic leadership is supported by emotional
intelligence (EI), resiliency, and mindfulness. In identifying
mindfulness as a key to developing self-awareness along with
sincere and transparent relationships with others, the author
argues that mindfulness allows leaders to achieve greater
authenticity and moral perspective in their leadership
journey. As authentic leadership increases empowerment and
inclusion, this work pays particular attention to how mindfulness
can help support leaders from hisotrically marginalized communities
and women leaders to lead in a way that is more congruent with
their identities and values. Understanding the antecedents of
authentic leadership in mindfulness and other related psychological
constructs will extend research on leadership development.Â
Based on empirical studies, as well as theoretical constructs, this
book will appeal to researchers with expertise in organizational
change, diversity and inclusion, strategy, workplace spirituality,
and other topics related to leadership.
"Investigations in Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics" is a sequel
to the eighth meeting of the International Clinical Phonetics and
Linguistics Association, attended by delegates from 26 different
countries. This book reflects the scope of the subject area of
clinical phonetics and linguistics, the balance of input into it
with respect to the different kinds of research being carried on,
and the representation of researchers from different parts of the
world. Its scope includes the application of all levels of
linguistic analysis and the chapters of the book have been ordered
as far as possible according to linguistic level, beginning with
pragmatics and ending with acoustics. It will be immediately
apparent that a greater number of chapters are concerned with
applications of phonetics and phonology then with any other
levels.

At a time of corporate downsizing and bone-crushing
international competition, how can executives reconcile their
individual personalities and human needs with the equally
compelling needs of the hard-driving organization? It is an
existential dilemma, say Joe and Louise Kelly, and one with
critical implications, not only for executives but for their
organizations as well. The Kellys, by no means blithe theorists,
take a hard look at this hard-edged problem by positing a
three-pronged model for analysis based upon structure, process, and
values. They synthesize these elements under an overarching concept
of existentialism, in which the emphasis is on a search for
meaning. And with that, they provide a clear-headed look at
organizational behavior--its contributions to our understanding of
how organizations work but, also its failures and, indeed, its
frequent self-deceptions. A well-written, vigorous, far-ranging
examination, not only for executives who need the kind of help the
Kellys offer in their daily combats on the job, but also for their
colleagues in the academic community who have their own
organizational problems to deal with.
The Kellys make clear that their book reflects a movement away
from the academic-purist position, where the sole concern is with
theoretically significant research, to a position which recognizes
that organizational behavior is a crossroads subject where traffic
that comes] mainly from behavioral science, computer technology,
and economics coalesces with the ideas streaming out of
organizational practice. Aimed at professional managers and
students, both undergraduates as well as those on the M.B.A. level,
this book assumes little prior knowledge of behavioral science or
organizational theory. Readers will get what they need of those
subjects here, enough to follow Kelly's argument. They will see how
behavioral and organizational research has helped (but sometimes
hindered) executives as they attempt to deal with critical
happenings in their jobs. With case study material woven into the
text and with observations from his own experiences with business
as well as academic organizations, the Kellys' book is a readable,
engrossing argument for and against the orthodoxies of
organizational behavior studies--and the assurance that whatever
else it may or not be, organizational behavior is certainly not
static.

The Dictionary of Strategy: Strategic Management A-Z is a lively,
contemporary sourcebook that will help illuminate major debates,
issues, and scholarship in strategic management. The dictionary is
a teaching tool that introduces the reader to the major terms in
the field, giving them a general framework of strategic management.
The book presents a unique, existential view of strategy that
emphasizes strategic debate of the big issues, strategic thinking
at all levels of the organization, and the idea that that one can
start at many different points and gain information about the
environment and constraints necessary to form an appropriate
strategy. Truly student oriented, the Dictionary of Strategy was
compiled based on author Louise Kelly's MBA classes and presents
over 550 important strategic management terms and concepts. The
entries present a historical context showing how views have changed
and evolved, and invite the reader to think more deeply about the
issues raised. Over 20% of the terms and concepts reflect very
recent material from magazines, academic journals, and conferences,
offering the latest cutting edge research and debates. It also
contains multinational and multicultural examples and is not solely
focused on US companies and business situations. The dictionary
will be an essential reference to practitioners, managers,
academics and students in management and strategic management
classes at the undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral level.

Women are now leading companies and other enterprises in
significant numbers-in developing countries as well as the Western
world. This set examines the specific ways in which entrepreneurial
women create success and considers how the growing prevalence of
female entrepreneurs will change the world. This two-volume work
provides balanced and thorough coverage of women entrepreneurs in
multicultural and international contexts as well as in the Western
world. Entrepreneurial Women: New Management and Leadership Models
explores how women everywhere are empowering themselves socially
and economically through entrepreneurship and business ownership.

workplace can contribute to the inspiration to become business
owners in the first place and document the experiences of African
American women entrepreneurs as well as women in distinct settings
such as China, Africa, rural Jamaica, and Silicon Valley. The work
draws on empirical studies, data sets, case studies, and
descriptions of career trajectories to portray the realities of
women entrepreneurs today. Readers will understand the distinctive
challenges and opportunities involved with the entrepreneurship
process for women-owned businesses, grasp how women have overcome
their disadvantages in getting funding and accessing capital, and
learn about the unique management and leadership style of women
entrepreneurs. Presents ideas and information contributed by highly
respected leaders, authors, thinkers, and entrepreneurs in the
field Offers findings from studies on women entrepreneurs around
the world that readers will be able to apply to their own
businesses Provides examples of how successful women entrepreneurs
develop marketing plans and promote themselves and their businesses
effectively Documents how women demonstrate a more networked
leadership style that has elements of altruism and connection to
the community rather than strictly using wealth creation as a
motivation for success
