In the Foreword to The Dialogical Challenge of Leadership
Development, eminent scholar Ken Gergen shrewdly points to dialogue
as an optimal tool for organizational communication in the 21st
Century. Gergen's comment serves as a quintessential backdrop of
the book you are about to read. Dialogical practice is no longer a
distant option for organizational leaders to passively consider.
Instead, it has become an indispensable tool for leaders who
understand the critical significance of relational influence and
sustainability for navigating today's increasingly complex and
wicked organizational and societal challenges. Thanks to the
wide-ranging talent and varied perspectives of leading scholars and
seasoned practitioners from around the globe who graciously
contributed to this volume, The Dialogical Challenge of Leadership
Development offers compelling evidence that - whether they arise
from Brazilian favelas or the world's largest corporate boardrooms
- the challenges which leaders face on a daily basis can be
effectively addressed through dialogical practice.
As revealed in the most recent global survey of human capital
trends conducted by Deloitte University, leadership is rated as the
top priority across all organizational levels, geographies, and
functional areas in every industry. The evolving shift in
leadership from individual leaders at the top to collective
leadership throughout organizations requires creating and
sustaining the necessary conditions through which leaders and those
being led can flourish and positive organizing can thrive.
Developing Leaders for Positive Organizing examines this challenge
by taking the reader on an investigative journey into everyday
leadership as framed in the increasingly interconnected context of
human relationships within and across organizations around the
globe. This book offers broad appeal for the novice working
practitioner; corporate, not-for-profit, or non-profit executive;
experienced scholar or academic student.
For years, leading management scholars have assumed the
contribution of followers is an effect rather than a cause of an
organization's success. The 25 case studies and commentaries in
Followership in Action from such diverse places as Canada, France,
India, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the
United States lend further support to this argument. Followership
in Action is a highly practical and scholarly book to which
leadership scholars, practitioners, and students will actively turn
to better understand and apply followership theory to everyday
human resource development, management, and leadership contexts. It
was written with administrators, coaches, consultants, executives,
human resource professionals, academic professors, and support
staff fully in mind. As the study of followership further escalates
into the global mainstream of leadership studies, this book offers
an excellent way to more proactively engage future leaders and
followers in issues that they are likely to face in various
organizational settings. Its business, education, and government
content will appeal to academia, corporations, non-profits, and
other enterprises.
