Description
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.

Reviews
Written by business scholars and others from around the world, the 24 chapters presented here explore aspects that create positive conditions to help expand the individual, relational, and collective repertoire of leadership in organizations: an emergent mindset, courage, forgiveness, mental fitness, positive energy, and human values. Each section contains a chapter on the topic, followed by case studies of individuals like Bruno Cucinelli and Yahya Khan; organizations like Starbucks, Ella's Kitchen, and KKT; and settings like South Africa, a yoga class, a grammar school, and universities. -- Annotation (c)2017 Ringgold Inc. * (protoview.com) *
Developing leaders for positive organizing in the 21st century is a daunting task given the transient times in which we live. Modernity is exciting, transformation challenging, and the human factor compoundingly more complex. Whether mere mortals are leading nations, corporates, government departments, church congregations, or small businesses, they must be cognizant of discerning consumers, ever-changing technology, and market and societal conditions which will test conventions. Adaptation is required to flourish and survive.
The compendium of chapters and assembled articles in this remarkable publication address these issues and subjects comprehensively, and even with an element of entertainment. Serious research is interspersed with compelling case material, and emotional experiential subjectivity is evidence of fresh author reflexivity. The organizing context presented here is one calling for exceptional attributes and skills. The ability to recognize and integrate the constituent ingredients for organizational flow are interwoven through most of the chapters as organizational order, symbiosis, behavioural harmony, and inter-connectivity. As Louis A. Allen initiated decades ago, the challenge remains one of making it happen with economy and harmony. The question begs whether it is trainable, or merely shaped, provided the fundamental substance naturally exists? Many useful perspectives are proffered throughout. * Johann Coetzee, Professor Emeritus, North-West University South Africa *
