While it is impossible to predict which changes will be successful, it is crucial for leaders to now ask: what should work look like to achieve productive, healthy, and safe organizations? In Brave New Workplace, Julian Barling argues that we should focus on creating environments in which employees can flourish, rather than relying on the resiliency of workers to withstand difficult working conditions. Synthesizing centuries of research from scholars such as Abraham Maslow, Fred Herzberg, and Richard Hackman, among others, Barling identifies seven elements that are key to building an exceptional workplace: high quality leadership, autonomy, belonging, fairness, growth, meaning, and safety. Throughout the book, chapters touch on pressing issues affecting today''s organizations such as working through crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of gender differences on people''s experiences in the workplace.

This tremendous time investment yields only modest returns. No organization made up of human beings is immune from the all-too-common meeting gripes: those that fail to engage, those that inadvertently encourage participants to tune out, and those that blatantly disregard participants'' time. Most companies and leaders view poor meetings as an inevitable cost of doing business. But managers can take heart: researchers now have a clear understanding of the key drivers that make meetings successful. In The Surprising Science of Meetings, Steven G. Rogelberg, researcher and consultant to some of the world''s most successful companies, draws from extensive research, analytics and data mining, and survey interviews with over 5,000 employees across a range of industries to share the proven practices and techniques that help managers and employees enhance the quality of their meetings.

Playing music or offering snacks can be a simple fix to lift mood before the meeting begins. Some, on the other hand, require some more effortful reflection, like reviewing attendee feedback on meeting quality. Fortunately, Rogelberg spares readers from the grunt work by providing templates with survey questions and response scales. What the reader needs to do is dedicate time to using those tools... In short, this is a book written for anyone who needs to run a meeting. The benefits you extract from it will depend on the amount of effort you put into applying the recommendations and the amount of buy-in you get from your meeting attendees. Even if you're not surprised by the science presented, it reminds you to re-examine the habitual aspects of meetings that normally go unquestioned. * Vanessa C. T. Nguyen and S.

Fourie, Albert Luthuli Leadership Institute, University of Pretoria, South Africa, Colombo Business Journal, December 2023 *\u003cbr\u003eMost textbooks on leadership are a litany of theories and research topics. This text is different. Exploring leadership is a truly interdisciplinary, and critical discussion of the complexity of leadership, and its important implications. Impressively, there are a number of features that facilitate student learning and engagement with the topics. This is an outstanding leadership textbook. * Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D., Professor of Leadership \u0026amp; Organizational Psychology, Kravis Leadership Institute, Claremont McKenna College, California, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a very accessible text that I will keep on my desk and not relegate to my bookcase! It is always so refreshing to find a second edition that revitalises and energises a discussion by recognising and clarifying both the nature and the pace of change taking place in our fast-moving and complex world. That this is achieved whilst remaining true to the passions and influence of James McGregor Burns that scholarly insights and strong concepts become powerful only when they translate into practical application and are tested with experience is remarkable. Your patience with its comprehensiveness, its rigour and clarity will pay significant dividends. * Mike Hardy, Professor Mike Hardy CMG OBE, Chair, International Leadership Association, Founding Director, Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University, UK *\u003cbr\u003eAt this point in time, when humanity is facing threats to climate, environment, and democracy, it is hard to imagine a more comprehensive and relevant textbook.

It is a must on the required reading lists for undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and executive students around the world. * Christer Sandahl, Professor Emeritus, Medical Management Centre, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden *\u003cbr\u003eI have never come across such an ambitious and well-executed tour of the leadership terrain. Spanning historical, societal, psychological, cross-cultural and global perspectives, this book succeeds remarkably well in being both scholarly and accessible. What is more, it is useful and challenging for the reader. Elements of good learning design are integrated within each chapter flowing from learning objectives at the outset, through well-constructed activities to an excellent chapter summary with review questions. Taking a critical perspective, the book concludes with a powerful provocation to reroute the field of leadership studies, and this rings true of the ethical and inclusive implications thrown up by an ever more complex world. * Doug Parkin, Principal Adviser for Leadership and Management at Advance HE (UK), and an independent author on higher education *\u003cbr\u003eThis is the leadership text we need: critical, interdisciplinary, multi-level, and balanced.

The textbook inspires curiosity about what leadership is and what the ever-changing world and workplace needs it to be, making it essential reading for 21st century leadership students the world over! * Jorandi Scholtz, Impact and Partnership Development Manager MBA Corporate Engagement, University of Exeter, UK, Alumni of the Exeter MBA, 2018 *\u003cbr\u003eI would rather ask, Why not another book on leadership? for students and practitioners of management in the post pandemic era. Exploring Leadership gives a fair opportunity to the readers to conceptualize the concept from various perspectives e.g., perspective of self, (traits, styles, competencies, emergence, management of emotions), organizational perspective (stakeholders, strategy and change, power and politics), global and environmental perspective (digital, gender, diversity and inclusion, cross cultural and ethics). The book gives a future direction to leadership researchers and it is written in a lucid and practical manner. It is a delight to read the book. * Ajay Jain, Professor of Leadership and Organizational Behavior, Management Development Institute Gurgaon, India *\u003cbr\u003eWhy yet another book about leadership? Bolden, Hawkins and Gosling ask at the beginning of the second edition of Exploring Leadership. Because unlike so many other recipe-based leadership textbook, this one bravely critiques the theory and practice of leadership, while situating the phenomenon squarely within our contemporary context.

The authors engagingly and critically embrace an integrative perspective of leadership from individual, organisational and societal orientations. Yet they go beyond this and embrace the thorny issues of politics and organising, ethics and power, responsibility and sustainability, and diversity and inclusion.

The significant contribution made by the authors is through the presentation of theory balanced with 'go ask, go see, go do' activities and reflections. In so doing the book itself demonstrates the importance, and power, of viewing leading as an activity that enables the reader, as practitioner in, researcher of, and emerging student practitioners, to make sense of, and participate in, the shared activity of leadership. * Sandra Jones, Professor Emerita, School of Management, RMIT, Australia *\u003cbr\u003eOrganizational and societal discontinuities and existential threats are challenging conventional perspectives on leadership. Exploring Leadership responds exceptionally well to these challenges by mapping the field and presenting an account of leadership that does not gloss over theoretical complexity and contestation. The authors weave a scintillating collection of topics into a convincing guide for those interested in understanding why leadership matters. * Willem Fourie, Associate Professor, Albert Luthuli Leadership Institute, University of Pretoria, South Africa *\u003cbr\u003eThis is not just another book about leadership. It is a deeply profound exploration replete with engaging examples and case studies that illuminate the realities of leadership in extraordinary ways and connect the study of leadership with its practice.

How does it differ from management and command? Are leaders born or bred? Who are the leaders? Do we actually need leaders? Inevitably, the answers are provocative and partial; leadership is a hugely important topic of debate. There are constant calls for ''greater'' or ''stronger'' leadership, but what this actually means, how we can evaluate it, and why it''s important are not very clear. In this Very Short Introduction Keith Grint prompts the reader to rethink their understanding of what leadership is. He examines the way leadership has evolved from its earliest manifestations in ancient societies, highlighting the beginnings of leadership writings through Plato, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and others, to consider the role of the social, economic, and political context undermining particular modes of leadership. Exploring the idea that leaders cannot exist without followers, and recognising that we all have diverse experiences and assumptions of leadership, Grint looks at the practice of management, its history, future, and influence on all aspects of society.
