Book Description

In our progressively changing environment, it is of crucial importance to deepen our understanding of peace between people and how leadership can enhance that by 'leading for peace'. This book proposes a useful framework for all leaders (including business, political leaders and peace developers) on how to attain peace between people. The book is presented in four sections: 1. Peace leadership in perspective: Discussions on the nature and meaning of peace leadership, important building blocks for peace leadership (emotional, social and communal intelligence), and a peace leadership-in-action model (which forms the basis of the book). 2. Implementation strategies focus on lead self, lead with others and lead communities. Lead self includes: leading peace through self, others and the community, the role of wisdom and spirituality in leading self and others, and individual, social and cultural inertia preventing humanity from attaining peace. Lead others includes: leadership theories which support peace leadership, the improvement of cultural intelligence amongst peace leaders, and women's role in peace building. Lead communities includes: peace leadership in the public and private sectors, healthcare for the vulnerable and its meaning and contribution towards peace leadership, and working from helplessness to serving the community. 3. Tools and initiatives to become a highly effective peace leader, including information and communication technological innovations for peace leaders and sport as a tool for peace building. 4. Concluding thoughts. Concluding thoughts are given, with the emphasis on what we have learned and looking ahead. This editorial book provides a significant contribution within the emerging peace leadership discipline as the international community, non-governmental organisations, and the public and private sectors struggle to formulate sustainable peace initiatives at the tribal, local and communal societal level.

Book Description

With the rise of AI, automation and workplace precariousness, alongside a rising global tide of ecological and broader stakeholder awareness, organizations are fundamentally examining their purpose and undergoing transformations to stay relevant and add value to their customers. In parallel to this, there is an imperative for managers and leaders to transform - not simply at the level of their skills and capabilities, but at the deeper level of identity. Not Being completes the trilogy of Not Knowing and Not Doing by closing the gap on what today's managers and leaders need to "know, do and BE". Not Being argues that beyond actions and thinking, it is our very identities that need to transform, and that to be successful in the new digital and interconnected world, we need a bigger and bolder vision of who we are. This book is the essential guide for helping modern-day managers and leaders to make such an important transition.

Book Description

The principles and practices of Personal Leadership help people access the inherently creative possibilities that exist when they come together from different backgrounds or with different perspectives. Instead of turning away from difference in fear or mistrust, Personal Leadership helps people engage with difference from a place of inspiration, curiosity, and full intelligence, and in alignment with their highest and best. The three authors have extensive personal experience working and living across cultures and in situations of difference, in both domestic and global contexts. The fifty stories used throughout the book to illustrate the core themes are drawn from their own lives and from those of the many Personal Leadership practitioners in global business, international education, diversity initiatives, team building, community building, international cooperation, and leadership development. Together they show how we can use Personal Leadership when we find ourselves in unfamiliar environments, in contexts that are rapidly changing, or in the midst of personal or professional transition. The book is well-written, easy to read, and intends to help us all "make a world of difference."

Book Description

In this modern dynamic world that brings us challenges from the moment we wake up to the second we put our head on the pillow, there is an ever-growing desire to thrive. A desire to achieve and overcome our limitations. But it is not in the material goals that we will find our growth and development as human beings because there is no better achievement than our own transformation. Self transformation may seem difficult at first and it is not for everyone. Yes, everyone can do it as we all have been blessed with an immense amount of inner resources, but not everyone will be brave enough to embark on the journey of personal growth. Can you imagine yourself three months from now? How about one year from now? Where do you want to be? How do you want your life to look like? Because if that is not a good enough trigger for you then you will need to find the motivation that will push you forward. Unless you want your life one year from now to look exactly the same. The book will focus on techniques that might make you raise your eyebrows or that you might even find outrageous. Stay with them. This only means that your mind has been programmed for so long with a certain way of thinking and looking at the world that you will need to really make an effort to dedicate yourself to transformation. It means that there is an even greater call for transformation and your current lifestyle might need to be reframed on several levels. We are human beings and our tendency is to resist change. But when noticing that change looks like an impossible task, the effort is to keep the mind open. Read. Listen. Try. Adapt. Trust the process. Inside you will find: - How to discover the power of thoughts in your everyday life - The difference between reaction and response - The importance of routines - Good and bad habits, and their patterns - How the right Community can help - The vision of tansformation and the plan to achieve it - How and when taking action

Book Description

The Self-Transforming School combines an insightful meta-analysis of factors contributing to the success of schools, and an examination of powerful mega-trends that are shaping developments in education, to offer the first mega-analysis in education policy and practice. The book spans fifty years, beginning with Caldwell and Spinks’ ground-breaking work The Self-Managing School which advocated innovative approaches that are now accepted as preferred practice, before offering a prognosis and plan for the future. The book argues that all schools in all settings can secure success for all students in an era where society and the economy are changing constantly and dramatically. Although schools find some support in local and global networks, externally designed re-structuring, re-staffing, or command-and-control direction isn’t sufficient to achieve transformation. Instead of replicating particular approaches to achieve modest improvement, leadership of the highest quality needs to be deeply embedded in schools and their systems. Caldwell and Spinks propose three important points that need to be taken into consideration: -schools are often at different stages of self-transformation -self-transformation requires a high level of professionalism, and must include teacher education and on-going professional development -funding is critically important, and efforts to build a capacity for self-transformation are constrained by what is available. The book gives particular attention to developments in Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Finland, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Shanghai, Singapore and the United States. It will be of key interest to school leaders, policy makers, and academics and postgraduate students engaged in research on equity, student performance in highly disadvantaged settings and education policy.
