Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of an organization's top leaders is a critical influence on its overall effectiveness and continuing adaptability. Yet, little current research examines leadership within the context of organizational structure, such as how leaders influence organizational performance in those key moments when an executive's action is critical to driving the organization forward. This book represents a significant contribution to the literature of leadership, combining a contextual approach to organizational leadership with an in-depth treatment of the cognitive, social, and affective dynamics underlying that leadership. The Nature of Organizational Leadership, using an interdisciplinary approach that draws from the work of scholars in both management and psychology, provides a much-need organizational perspective on the problems to confronted by top executive leaders and the requisite behaviors, attributes, and outcomes necessary to lead organizations effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we design organizations in a way that creates a space where employees, the organization, and the larger community all thrive? And if so, where can we go for inspiration to help us achieve this goal? In a time of volatile and complex uncertainty, it is time to learn the lessons that nature has compiled from 3.8 billion years of research and development. Nature is an interdependent, dynamic and living system – just like today’s organizations and communities. Kathleen Allen uses nature as a model, mentor, and muse to rethink how leadership is practiced today. Leading from the Roots takes nature as a source of inspiration to help organizations see a new way of leading and designing workplace structure, applying the generous framework found in mature ecologies to human organizations. Kathleen Allen helps shift assumptions, practices, structures, and processes of organizations to become more resilient and nourishing for all, and, along the way, design the way out of workplace dysfunction and drama. “Leading from the Roots provides a powerful new way of thinking about organizations as living systems and delivers practical leadership frameworks for individuals to learn how to unleash the energy and create innovative, effective teams. -Anne Boneparte, CEO Appthority This book is a must read for organizational leaders who are not only committed to their mission, but equally to creating a workplace that attracts and retains the brightest and the best professionals fully enabled to meet that mission. -Caryl Stern, President & CEO UNICEF USA

Book excerpt: Now revised and updated into a Second Edition, Leadership in Health Care retains its successful approach of looking at leadership theory from an individual, team and organizational perspective, and continues to focus on major areas such as problem solving, dealing with conflict, unhealthy behaviors and notions of quality, diversity and individual values. This new edition, however, responds to recent political changes in health care with the inclusion of two new chapters on interprofessional working and on emotional intelligence. Authors Jill Barr and Lesley Dowding have also taken the opportunity to focus more clearly on service users, and take forward the concept of project management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies and organizations everywhere cite creativity as the most desirable - and elusive - leadership quality of the future. Yet scores measuring creativity among American children have been on the wane for decades. A specialist in creative leadership, professor James Haywood Rolling, Jr. knows firsthand that the classroom is a key to either unlocking or blocking the critical imagination. He argues that today's schools, with their focus on rote learning and test-taking, work to stymie creativity, leaving children cut off from their natural impulses and boxed in by low expectations. Drawing on cutting-edge research in the realms of biological swarm theory, systems theory, and complexity theory, Rolling shows why group collaboration and adaptive social networking make us both smarter and more creative, and how we can design education and workplace practices around these natural principles, instead of pushing a limited focus on individual achievement that serves neither children nor their future colleagues, managers and mentors. The surprising truth is that the future will be pioneered by the collective problem-solvers, making Swarm Intelligence a must-read for business leaders, educators, and anyone else concerned with nurturing creative intelligence and innovative habits in today's youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership can be described as a set of effective characteristics or habits that one exhibits on a daily basis that influences others. Have you ever stopped to think about your habits and how they impact your leadership outcomes? Habits form when behavior is repeated and becomes unconsciously automatic after enacted on continuously. Quality leadership actions will, too, become instinctive when they are repeated multiple times, thus becoming second nature actions. Since a habit is an avenue that your brain automatically follows, you will need to reengineer some of your thought process and execute new actions repeatedly until the actions become inherent. The actions outlined in this book will be sure to take your leadership success to the next level. The only way to stay sharp and effective in your leadership is to constantly apply the traits that are used and taught by effective leaders. When the traits expressed in this book are put into action and consistently performed, you will soon do them almost without thinking and in turn become a second nature leader.
