Transformational Change in Community Colleges Becoming an Equity-Centered Institution

Transformational Change in Community Colleges Becoming an Equity-Centered Institution

From the foreword by Walter G. Bumphus President & CEO of AACC: “Becoming an Equity-Centered Higher Education Institution is a significant contribution to the on-going struggle to find practical approaches to implementing an equity agenda in higher education. ” The authors had three main goals for this text: Relevance: This book is the result of many years of teaching leading researching and coaching individuals and institutions about equity inside higher education. The authors place a clear emphasis on awareness and teaching skills first but also ensure that those skills are based on practical application in the field. Practical Application: To describe and explain equity and transformational change concepts this book provides step-by-step implementation approaches that can be used to integrate equity-centered principles into practices and policies to implement or improve equity work into the organizational culture. A Purposeful Approach: The authors defined the act of becoming an equity-centered institution in terms of a transformational change approach using Kotter’s Eight-Stage Process. Kotter’s Model and AACC’s Leadership Competencies for Community College Leaders are introduced in Chapter 1 and integrated throughout the book. This integrated framework allows practitioners to place the intersectionality of equity transformational change and requisite leadership competencies into the larger context of higher education. While using Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model the authors emphasize that operations and situations inside higher educational institutions are not linear as implied in Kotter’s model. They show how the stages of change may occur at different times and different situations at different institutions and demonstrate what leadership competencies are recommended for each stage in the change process. | Transformational Change in Community Colleges Becoming an Equity-Centered Institution

The Handbook of Climate Change Leadership in Organisations Developing Leadership for the Age of Sustainability

Climate change is one of the most significant and challenging problems we face today and many organisations have recognised their responsibility in reducing emissions and environmental degradation and regenerating biodiversity. However conventional leadership has failed to respond adequately to the magnitude of the threat and a profound change in corporate leadership is required to substantively cut emissions and change climate policy to minimise further destructive environmental impact. This book sets out the qualities and approaches needed by leaders to successfully develop and implement climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. Bringing together the foremost experts in climate change leadership from business leadership psychology and coaching backgrounds this book addresses the failures of current leadership practice and proposes a variety of models of how climate change leadership capabilities can be effectively developed in organisations. It is structured around four concepts: foundations which includes models of environmental ecological and evolutionary leadership; transitions which looks at transformational and ethical models that are being repurposed for the age of sustainability; progressions which explores innovative models that are being developed for the current age including systems adaptation and maturity-based models of leadership; and actions which includes models of sustainable goal setting and climate leadership coaching and development. The book is written for corporate leaders researchers and educators and will be an invaluable addition to the leadership curriculum and executive development programmes to help the next generation of leaders respond to global challenges. | The Handbook of Climate Change Leadership in Organisations Developing Leadership for the Age of Sustainability

Global Leadership A Transnational Perspective

Global Leadership A Transnational Perspective

The clash of cultures coupled with rapid technological advances seems to be pushing us in paradoxical directions. On the one hand the world seems to be falling apart; while on the other the world seems to be converging. Do we have thoughtful leaders to guide us through these uncertain times? As globalization breaks down barriers global leaders are becoming more visible players on the world stage. From executives of multinational corporations (e. g. high-tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley) to social activists (e. g. Malala Yousafzai) individuals from many different cultural backgrounds and ages are reshaping the way we see global leadership. These global leaders have to contend with a variety of transnational contexts that call for different leadership styles. This book assesses four of these styles – transactional participatory transformational and directive – with representative case studies for each. It provides practical skills that global leaders must master in order to be more effective at the transnational level – cultivating a global mindset; developing intercultural communication; leveraging diversity and inclusion; and managing intercultural conflict. Global Leadership is valuable reading for educators in undergraduate and graduate leadership programs; practitioners involved in global for-profit and nonprofit organizations; and leadership educators interested in exploring the impact of technology on global leadership. It provides an excellent balance between the study and practice of global leadership. | Global Leadership A Transnational Perspective

Strategy-Driven Leadership The Playbook for Developing Your Next Generation of Leaders

Strategy-Driven Leadership The Playbook for Developing Your Next Generation of Leaders

It’s estimated that U. S. companies spend over $14 billion annually on leadership development -Match that number to the abundant and growing research that finds most leadership development to be ineffective and the conclusion is a phenomenal amount of waste. The remedy for this situation is to have business strategy drive leadership development instead of creating programs that match a one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. This book's approach called Strategy-Driven Leadership Development (SDLD) puts business strategy first. It maintains an emphasis on building leadership programs around what it will take to make the business successful as opposed to implementing a program in the hopes that it will benefit the strategy. The result is a differentiated and targeted approach called Intentional Leadership Development which provides the structure for transforming how leadership development is undertaken. At the heart of this book however is the explanation of how small incremental changes in action and perspective create meaningful changes in the way leadership is developed. The focus is on the leadership behaviors associated with success for any company. Some companies may need leaders with better financial acumen while others may require better teamwork for success. These skills are learnable and when the energy of an organization is behind it then leadership development can be transformational. The authors method retools prior leadership efforts – the emphasis is not on previous failures and restarting with new programs. There are many effective ideas and actions that are currently embedded in leadership programs but they miss the critical element of tying their efforts to the business strategy. Strategy-Driven Leadership changes the way organizations think about and drive their leadership talent initiatives among their current and upcoming leaders. The book is filled with research science-based information case studies and practical hands-on tools on why and how this Strategy-Driven Leadership Development model will transform company leadership approaches. | Strategy-Driven Leadership The Playbook for Developing Your Next Generation of Leaders

Complexity and Leadership

Complexity and Leadership

Leading organisations in our contemporary world means grappling with unpredictability painful pressures and continual conflict all in the context of an acceleration in the pace of change. We expect the impossible from heroic leaders and they rarely live up to expectations. With countless recommendations self-help books and new concepts scholars and management consultants often simplify and dream unrealistically. This book challenges the more orthodox discourse on leadership and presents a way of thinking about leadership that pays closer attention to experience. The contributors in this book all senior managers or facilitators of leadership development resist easy solutions new typologies or unrealistic prescriptions. Writing about their experiences in Denmark the UK Israel Ethiopia South Africa and beyond they are less concerned with traits that people can possess and learn or magical promises of recipes for success and more with the socio-political process of the interaction between people from which leadership emerges as a theme. We focus on understanding leadership as a practice within which communication research imagination and ethical judgements are continuously improvised. So rather than idealising leadership or reducing it to soothing tools and techniques we suggest how leaders might become more politically emotionally and socially savvy. This book is written for academics and practitioners with an interest in the everyday challenges of both individual and group practices of formal and informal leaders in different types of organisations and is an ideal resource for executives and students on leadership development programmes. We hope this volume will help readers to expand the wisdom found in their own experience and discover for themselves and for others a greater sense of freedom. | Complexity and Leadership
