We present, in this book, a model and process called The Collective
Mindset which embraces collaboration, communication, reflection,
and future-thought. That is, for every action we take in education,
we must understand how to empathize and relate to others, as well
as reflect on how each decision affects others within the space.

Developing effective policy for the use of social media in schools
is at once challenging and equally necessary. For one thing its use
pervades our society in ways few could have futured for. For
another, its presence, its potential, its pitfalls, require a
collective leadership to use the right kinds of processes to
properly create and sustain. Planning by Futuring; Futuring as
Planning: Using Your Futures Mindset to Develop Social Media Policy
in Schools, provides practicing educational leaders and those who
aspire to be administrators with all of the tools necessary to
engage their stakeholders in co-creating policy guidelines that
will assure successful implementation. More importantly, its case
study style enables readers to discern the necessary themes, theory
and concepts that nurture futures - based mindsets. These
mindsets-dispositions-skills will enable leaders to anticipate and
plan for any emerging future that may come their way. And most
importantly their mastery will co-empower collective leaders to
create futures that are preferred instead of imposed.

While it may be true that these times do try educators' souls who
are beset with conflicting reform agendas and an impatience about
school change success, Futures Based Change Leader: A Formula for
Sustained Change Capacity empowers leaders to use effective
combinations of futuring, presencing, collaborative leadership
skills, and systems' disciplines practices so that their schools
will effectively leverage opportunities to realize the needs of
their preferable futures.

Editors: Robert J. Manley John F. Manley Deepa Sharma Carlos
Trejo-Pech Richard Bernato As the title implies, this book is about
leadership and globalization. Ed Lyons, in the chapter "Leadership
in Business," states that leadership is a complex topic by itself:
"Leadership may not be easily defined, but you know it when either
you see or do not see it." That complexity and richness of
multicultural leadership becomes more profound when leadership is
addressed from a global perspective, as in this book. Furthermore,
it could be said that the very conception of this book is global.
The plan for the book was devised by scholars from different
nationalities and cultures for students equally diverse.
Researchers and business leaders from the USA, Mexico, and India
devised the plan for this book during an international research
conference in Udaipur, India. They visualized the implementation of
a university level course taught by volunteer scholars that would
enable students from these three countries to learn from their
readings and discussions with one another using the Internet. The
book is the product of the efforts of twenty professors that
embraced the idea of an international learning community. The
chapters in the book are similar to the main reading material of
the course that students attended on line. Fifty students from
different majors at Iona College (New York, EU), Dowling College
(New York, EU), Universidad Panamericana (Guadalajara, Mexico), and
Shri M. D. Shah Mahila College of Arts and Commerce (Mumbai, India)
participated in the course during spring 2010. The last chapter, by
Thomas Franza, technology leader of this course, describes the
technology requirements to implement such a course. As this group
of students benefited from the exchange of multiple cultural and
professional perspectives by reading these articles, the
publication of this book would allow this benefit to be extended to
others in different contexts. Even though the book is comprised of
chapters that were conceived independently of each other, the
reader will note a natural interconnection of themes and multiple
viewpoints. It seems that a collective inaudible conversation
exists within the minds of people that have leadership
responsibilities in different disciplines. This internal
conversation is captured in unique and surprising ways within this
book. The first chapter, by Robert Manley, establishes the basis or
background on leadership, which is then extended in other chapters
to different contexts, sectors, or functional areas of the firm.
Manley introduces the topic to the reader by discussing from the
perspectives of traditional (e.g. Sun-tzu and Machiavelli) and
modern thinkers (e.g. Drucker), the values that make leaders
succeed or fail.
