Belief and Organization examines the alternative belief systems
which contemporary organizational actors live by and through which
they seek to find meaning within the dominant (neo)capitalist
social order. The widespread search for personal meaning reflects
what Charles Taylor refers to as the'massive subjective turn of
modern culture' and a corresponding drive to locate subjective
'sources of significance. Such subjectivist strategies enable
people to disregard, resist or subvert the globalizing capitalist
imperatives that would otherwise have them become worshippers of
the new human gods. Alternative belief systems take a variety of
forms and contributors to this volume represent a range of
positions - some religious or spiritual, others secular -, which
are presently being adopted and acted on in European and US
workplaces. The authors of this work have deliberately courted an
international framing of the issues in order to better reflect
trends in organizational conduct in the Western hemisphere. By this
heterodox approach, they intentionally seek to spread the net to
embrace a wider set of religious and non-religious beliefs and
affiliations.
Worldly Leadershipis the first of its kind to bring together
non-western, indigenous, and eastern perspectives on leadership. It
offers a number of radically different ways of thinking about the
process of leadership and presents a challenge to conventional
mainstream theory. Each chapter draws on recent research from
different cultures and societies to bring alternative leadership
wisdoms and insights into the practice of leadership for today's
complex world. As such, this book calls for a pooling of
contemporary and ancient leadership wisdoms from all parts of the
globe and contrasts these with the popular construct of 'global
leadership'. Scholars and practitioners who believe in the
'globality' of management and leadership relate global leadership
to multiple organizational themes such as change, culture,
performance, values, globalization, environment, vision and
strategy. However, what concerns the authors ofthis book is how
leadership is practiced in contemporary organizations and whether
it is meaningful to speak of 'global leadership' at all. This book
provides an analysis of worldly leadership in terms of the
leadership development processes pervasive in today's corporate
world. Such an analysis entails evaluating global leadership from a
critical management perspective and giving appreciative attention
to non-western and indigenous leadership constructs and narratives
which are readily silenced within the mainstream discourse.

John Adair is one of the most important and influential figures in
the world of leadership thought and practice. More than a million
people have been trained using Adair concepts such as
action-centred leadership. He ranks with the likes of Warren Bennis
in terms of both his influence and the depth and breadth of his
thought. This book shows the depth of that influence in fields as
diverse as leadership in the church, the army, higher education and
business, in many parts of the world, and offers fresh and original
perspectives on Adair's ideas. The authors reach beyond the
historic legacy of these ideas, making proposals for improving
leadership development and offering insightful warnings about
current trends and fads. Anyone convinced that leadership is
crucial to improved performance, but who is suspicious of 'quick
fix' approaches, should read this book for both understanding and
practical advice.
