Paul was previously a Global Programme Director for OD and Learning at BP.Trade Review"This is a practical book packed with real life examples, constructive advice and challenge.

I commend it to everyone fascinated by the real drivers of change in organisations - big, small, start up, mature and across sectors." * Ann Ewing, Strategic Human Resources Leader with an international charity, formerly Head of Learning & Development with a major bank, and previously Vice-President Organisational Capability for BP. *"Paul Lawrence has used his unique background as businessman, author, coach and consultant to provide a practical approach to a new way of understanding how successful change really works." * Andreas Priestland, Director Learning Project and formerly Senior Organisational Development Consultant BP Group *"What sets Leading Change apart from all of the the other publications that are so abundant on this topic, is the fact that it addresses change management via first hand accounts of real business leaders deep within the "change trenches". These leaders all confronted extraordinary situations, across a variety of cultures and business sectors. In doing so it offers the reader a real look into the dynamic juxtaposition of insight and reflection, action and reaction, listening and involving, learning and coaching that is anything but academic, static or linear within an organization...especially when it comes to change." * Graham Kwan, Chief Executive Officer, Character Capital Inc. *"Leading Change is the umpteenth book on change management but it treats it very differently from other books I have come across. Paul manages to make it very personal and thus recognisable. He shows the struggle that each and every change agent is going through and makes it clear there is no one answer. The book is almost a reversed version of the average textbook: it does not teach you the model and then try to explain it. It builds up 'the Emerging Change Model' step by step, chapter by chapter, taking the reader by the hand. It shows how all the elements are themselves subject to change and how they all influence each other. It's all based on actual change stories, successes and failures. The use of anecdotes makes it an easy read and there is a powerful, recognisable insight on every page.The most insightful yet down-to-earth book on change I have read in a long while!" * Karin Bax, Change Manager at HEINEKEN International *"Leading Change treats change management very differently from the many other books I have come across on the subject.

As a mediator, she is skilled in improving working relationships and developing common understanding between parties in toxic relationships. In addition, she is a lecturer at Birkbeck, University of London, teaching coaching and organizational psychology, and is a faculty member at the School of Life, working with businesses to develop their emotional intelligence.Trade Review"What a brilliant subject for a book, courageously chosen and boldly tackled. We all fail. What matters is what we do next, how we cope with it. I will still fail, but after reading Susan's Kahn's first-rate book I know I can bounce back. And if I can cope more confidently with failure, I'm more likely to succeed." * Daniel Finkelstein OBE, The Times *"How to fail fast and be resilient at work should be a staple on any entrepreneur's bookshelf. Susan Kahn's book is full of practical advice and tools for anyone trying to understand themselves deeper, become a better leader and co-worker, and live a balanced life. Not a book to simply be read, but a manual that also gives its reader space for introspection and questioning." * Courtney Carlsson, Co-Founder and CEO of Paradym *"In Bounce Back, Susan Kahn provides a comprehensive exploration of our resilience both at work and in our personal lives. Susan skillfully weaves insights from neuroscience, psychoanalysis and positive psychology to create a practical and essential guide to building more resilient behaviours.

Each chapter finishes with some helpful and readily applicable exercises which can be put into practice straight away by the reader. In short, a thoroughly enjoyable, well researched and hugely practical book which is essential reading in these uncertain times." * Raul Aparici, Coach, Consultant Facilitator and Lead Faculty at The School of Life *"Often books like this fall between two types. They are either too to complex and psychological, or too quick fix and simplistic. Dr Susan Kahn has squared that circle by producing a book which mixes real depth and richness with accessible practical advice. There's no better book on resilience that you could read." * Derek Draper, CEO of CDP Leadership Consultants and author of Create Space *"This wonderful book by Dr Susan Kahn focuses on what many believe to be the key to success at work - our psychological resilience and our ability to thrive - rather than crumble - in a changing environment." * Kate Davies, CEO, Notting Hill Genesis *"Dr Susan Kahn writes of that most human of dichotomies: our drive to succeed, and our fear of failure. It is here that she places resilience, not as a binary construct, but something malleable, adaptable, flexible and (importantly) something that can be learned and developed. Powerful exercises bring the material to life, and allow for deeper insights. Bounce Back is a deeply compassionate and optimistic work." * Prof Andreas Liefooghe PhD, Director, Operation Centaur and Founder and CEO of Shrink Technologies *"Bounce Back is energising, expertly and elegantly written. With well researched explanations and practical exercises to help the reader reflect and advance, Bounce Back will lift you out of 'stuck' and into hopeful and empowered. Every employee should read it. So should their managers and leaders." * Rachel Ellison MBE DUniv, Executive leadership coach *"Susan takes us on a journey of better understanding of how to harness our ability to bounce back. Resilience is a trait to be practiced and developed and reclaimed in or modern world. Easily accessible, her chapters encourage understanding and growth, and dipping into the tasks will create personal development. Her examples encourage us to risk, embrace failure with positivity and bounce back stronger." * Ruth Green, Senior Counsellor, mentor, trainer & facilitator *"Anyone reading Bounce Back cannot fail to pick up highly useful strategies for achieving results. It is steeped in carefully thought through, logically assembled suggestions. The writing style is informative, practical and backed with robust references. This self-help book covers a broad range of accessible, easy to implement ideas. There will be more than one that personally resonates and that can be actioned to achieve impact." * David Goldstone, Partner, Osprey Clarke Executive Search *"In this book, Susan brings together her considerable experience into a crucial yet fun and practical business book. Bouncing back from failure is what makes great entrepreneurs. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it and doing some of the exercises with my colleagues." * Nathaniel Meyohas, Partner at Blandford Capital *"Dr Susan Kahn has written an incredibly accessible book that is a valuable read for anybody at any stage of a career, whether starting out or running the business, as well as those who are keen to support and understand those facing difficulties.

Book SynopsisThis book offers a critique of the field of leadership studies, focusing on the dynamics between post-heroic leadership and the notion of functional and dysfunctional emotions.Trade Review'All too frequently leadership is depicted as an unequivocal 'good'. Lemmergaard and Muhr's excellent collection disabuses us of this misleading view, serving as a timely and salutary reminder that leadership is often emotionally charged, toxic, dysfunctional or downright stupid. This book's critical message should be read and heeded by students and practitioners of leadership alike.' --Peter Case, James Cook University, Australia'The book provides a rich kaleidoscope of critical engagements with leadership in all its complexity and ambiguity. The contributors to this collection do not deny the vital role that leadership can play nor the many ways in which it can affect the emotional dynamics of organizations for good and bad. What they do is to shift thinking away from the comforting but misleading simplicities of toxic leaders and inert followers, offering a welcome tonic to the critical study of leadership. The book will appeal to leadership scholars as well as to students and to reflective practitioners.' --Yiannis Gabriel, University of Bath, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface PART I: LEADERSHIP MOMENTS 1.

Book SynopsisA must-read for serious leadership studies scholars, Rethinking Leadership offers a radical reconceptualisation of leadership as a contextually embedded, physically embodied phenomenon.Trade Review‘Books about leadership abound, often generalizing from a heroic leader’s own experiences or reflecting the latest incremental advances in scholarly theorizing. Rethinking Leadership is different in that Ladkin questions the key questions of leadership thinking and thus arrives at a radically different conception of leadership. It is a welcome conception that recognizes the embodied, sensual, felt nature of leadership as an ongoing process involving leaders and followers within a particular context. For the complex and challenging times we live in, we need complex and challenging conceptions of leadership and Donna Ladkin has given us an excellent starting place.’ -- Steve Taylor, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, US‘Beautifully written, insightful and novel, this book departs nicely from mainstream views on leadership and can be strongly recommended to anyone wanting a new look on the complexities, meanings and dynamics of leadership and workplace relations.’ -- Mats Alvesson, Lund University, Sweden‘Donna Ladkin’s inspiring and informed book breaks new ground in leadership studies. Writing lucidly, warmly and accessibly, Ladkin makes philosophy to bear on some key themes of leadership. Picking up concepts from philosophy’s all time greats, she enriches the existing leadership discourse powerfully. Questions of “charisma”, “vision”, indeed the nature of leadership itself, are cast in fresh settings, and they become alive. Skilfully avoiding becoming overtly abstract, with a keen eye to examples, Donna Ladkin delivers a delightful, elevating and original contribution to the rethinking of leadership.’ -- Esa Saarinen, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland‘Adopting a post-positivist phenomenological perspective inspired by the writings of Husserl and Heidegger among others, Donna Ladkin crafts a series of philosophical questions that prompt the reader to deconstruct and reposition many habitually held views of leaders and leadership. Through her deep questioning, Ladkin reminds us that wisdom - the virtue of practical circumspection - is central to the ethical and aesthetic moment of leading. Rethinking Leadership is a refreshing and much-needed re-evaluation of the field, which should be read by anyone with a serious interest in the subject.’ -- Peter Case, University of the West of England, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This extraordinary collection of research and practices needs to be used as a manual for action. Years ago, Kofi Annan stated: “The future of the world depends on women.” The current world of aggression and oppression is one consequence of denying women access to leadership. There is no more time to consider women’s role as life-affirming leaders – we must enact and embody the clarity and wisdom contained in this new edition.’ -- Dr. Margaret J. Wheatley, author of ten books from Leadership and the New Science to Who Do We Choose To Be?, US‘Susan Madsen has done it again. With her editing of this second edition of the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership she has provided both theoreticians and practitioners with updates as well as additional information and insights on a wide range of related subjects. Each of the many chapters is carefully researched and well written, with some addressing subjects previously largely ignored, such as how race and gender identity pertain to the matter at hand. Of course, the question of why, after decades of efforts to rectify the imbalance, are still so few women at the top, and in many countries and cultures none or nearly so, continues to linger. This volume though goes a long way toward providing some nimble and nuanced answers. It’s a resource worthy of its excellent predecessor.’ -- Barbara Kellerman, Fellow, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xxii Sally Helgesen Introduction to the Handbook of Research on Gender and Leadership xxiv Susan R.

Book SynopsisTrade Review'Few things - if any - are more important to universities than departments and their capacity to provide the organizational framework for successful scholarly collectives. Hence, department heads are key personnel in any academic institution. How to Lead Academic Departments Successfully offers multiple perspectives and insights into the art and craft of being an effective head of department. The book holds a unique collection of astute and inspirational chapters and the volume should be of great interest to anyone with an interest in academic leadership.' -- Jens Ringsmose, Southern University Denmark'Few colleagues plan (and prepare) to be an academic leader at the start of their career. But, almost inevitably, many of us will be asked to take up a major leadership role at some point, and often unexpectedly. Managing professionals within a distinct organisational climate, with unique practices and politics, against the backdrop of a dynamic marketplace is no small matter. It is, in fact, often a sink-or-swim experience. But, have no fear, How to Lead Academic Departments Successfully is here. The book is a rich source of information that offers actionable advice and perhaps comfort for those of us who are about to face the challenges of academic leadership or are trying their very best at it every day. The book’s content provides lucid and eclectic answers to the question posed its title. It will be an inspiring companion of travel for any colleague on a leadership journey.' -- Ko de Ruyter, King's College London, UK'This is an important book addressing many central issues regarding how to effectively lead academic departments, thereby also pointing towards what might become the business school/academic institution of the future. The area of managing academic institutions is largely both under-researched as well as being largely void in the literature. The book makes a significant contribution by filling much of this gap. Specifically, it is a major message of the book that firm, clear leadership and strategic vision is called for by department heads (as well as deans and rectors), and thus that the widely shared view that professors should be left to themselves may not be enough!' -- Peter Lorange, IMD and Lorange Network'Being head of an academic department has not become less challenging in the 21st century with growing and changing demands on the universities from society. Drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of leaders and scholars from the university sector, this book provides a treasure chest of perspectives, ideas and real-life experiences that are both highly relevant and very useful for any current (or future) head of department - and for anyone with an interest in leadership in academia.' -- Nikolaj Malchow Møller, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark'Academic life sometimes appears to be a riddle hidden inside an enigma. Universities should be relevant to the local community, attractive to global students, visible in the finest academic journals, collegial in style yet run by accountable leaders. This hybridized academy is in urgent need of a guide from which the frustrated insider can get consolation and advice. This is the book, drawing on personal experience and a wide range of sources filtered through the analytic lens of seasoned social scientists. A twist of humour makes it even more essential, and it will be of equal importance to the higher education scholar and to the professional in need of perspectives.' -- Mats Benner, Lund University, SwedenTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to How to Lead Academic Departments Successfully xix PART I CHALLENGES OF BEING AN ACADEMIC LEADER 1 On the particular challenges of managing professionals 3 Flemming Poulfelt 2 Relevant leadership: the dynamic equilibrium of managing and leading academic departments 14 Rickie A.

Book SynopsisHow women around the world are leading powerful change Women's progress is global progress.Trade Review#8 Washington Post Best Seller (Hardcover Nonfiction) “In this compelling new book, Alyse Nelson shares the stories of the remarkable women who have motivated her work at Vital Voices. For anyone who wants our world to live up to the promises of the twenty-first century, look no further than these determined agents of change for blueprints on courageous leadership.” —Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States “This timely book tells the story of a movement that is transforming our world and of an organization—Vital Voices—is clearing the path. Its message is about more than equality, it's about leadership, justice, and hearing those who in prior generations possessed only a single right—to remain silent. If you are looking for inspiration about what is possible, and for a challenge about what is still necessary, here is your guide.” —Madeleine K. Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State “I have been humbled and inspired throughout my life by the determination of African women and women in other parts of the developing world who are committed to bettering their families and their communities. The power and possibility of women's leadership are captured in this book's innovative model. There has never been a more fitting time for the world to embrace a new brand of leadership by embracing the power and possibility of women worldwide.” —H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia and 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate “From the poorest villages to the highest government offices, women are leading the way in tackling humanity's biggest challenges. Alyse Nelson's Vital Voices imagines what's possible if we can fully tap the unique leadership potential of all women and girls. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in building a better world.” —Melinda French Gates, co-chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “Over the next 25 years, nothing will do more to build a more peaceful, more prosperous, and more sustainable world than the empowerment of women and girls. As an innovative and collaborative leader, Vital Voices is making a profound and lasting difference for the better, as the stories in this book clearly demonstrate.” —Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company “This powerful book tells the story of a pioneering organization and shows us what is possible when we invest in transformational leaders—from dissidents to entrepreneurs, these women motivate us and change lives.” —Tina Brown, editor-in-chief, Newsweek and The Daily Beast “Vital Voices is a vital read. The world is changing and in the places where the most progress is happening, women are leading the charge. Alyse Nelson empirically states the case that when women are given opportunities, they seize them and ignite positive changes in their communities and even their countries. At a time of such universal economic uncertainty, investing in women can make all of the difference.” —Lisa Ling, executive producer and host, Our AmericaTable of ContentsForeword ixby the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton, Founder, Vital Voices Introduction xiii 1 A Driving Force or Sense of Mission 1Introduced by the Honorable Michelle Bachelet 2 Strong Roots in the Community 39Introduced by Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala 3 An Ability to Connect Across Lines That Divide 83Introduced by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison 4 Bold Ideas and Bold Action 125Introduced by Diane von Furstenberg 5 Paying it Forward 171Introduced by Ambassador Melanne Verveer Conclusion: Leadership is a Journey, Not a Destination 207Introduced by Sally Field Afterword 223by Susan Ann Davis and Bobbie Greene McCarthy, Chair and Vice-Chair, Board of Directors, Vital Voices Additional Information on the Women Featured in Vital Voices 225 Notes 239 Acknowledgments 251 About the Author 263 Index 265
