Book Synopsis This landmark book, by Edwin P. Hollander, a noted organizational social psychologist and long-time contributor to leadership research and practice, highlights the leader-follower relationship as central to effective leadership. Inclusive Leadership is a process of active followership emphasizing follower needs and expectations, with the guiding principle of Doing things with people, not to people, in a two-way influence relationship. The book provides strong theoretical and empirical guidance for leadership development and includes many of Hollanderâs key original papers. Each is updated in a chapter with his new reflective commentary, including those on Interdependence, Women and Leadership, Power and Leadership, Legitimacy, Ethical Challenges, Idiosyncrasy Credit, and Civil Liberties. Six new chapters begin with an Overview of Inclusive Leadership, identifying distinctive concepts and practices, and an Historical Background. There also are new chapters on such topics as Applications, Presidential Leadership, and College and University Leadership. It concludes with Lessons from Experience,a revealing Afterword on his career, and comprehensive Bibliography. Enriching our practical understanding of the leader-follower relationship, with many real-world examples, this book should be a basic addition to anyoneâs library on leadership. Students of leadership, management, organizational psychology and behavior, business, sociology, education, political science, and public policy, will find it informative about successful practices of Inclusive Leadership, and their applications to leadership events.Trade Review"In this book and indeed throughout his distinguished career, Hollander has "shined the bright light" on the importance of the followership in the study of human behavior. That focus, alone, makes Hollander’s book distinctive and unique. Almost single-handedly, through the force of his impeccable and creative research, he has altered, indeed transformed, our view of leadership by insisting on the study of followership. His stance and tone are just right and his writing is lovely" - Georgia Sorenson, Research Director and Founding Director, James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland"I liked the presidency chapter tremendously. I was very impressed with the weaving together of the theories and research from some years ago with current issues and worries in presidential leadership." - George R. Goethals, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond"This book will be one of the "must have" volumes for the libraries of all serious leadership scholars and students in the field." - David Vaughn Day, University of Western Australia, Crawley"I learn more from Ed Hollander about leadership in a few pages than I learn from other leadership scholars in whole books." -Terry L. Price, Associate Dean, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, University of Richmond"Inclusive Leadership is an engaging book that will appeal to a variety of audiences...[it is] an important addition to any leadership researcher's library. Inclusive leadership is as applicable in the executive suite as it is with a crew cleaning a hotel suite; the budding shift supervisor or community leader may not have the authority or opportunity to be transformational, yet any leader at any level has the responsibility to engage their followers. Inclusive leadership is for everyman and everywoman." - The Psychological Record, Donald A.

Book SynopsisA ground-breaking guide to thinking about how routine activities can be designed and innovated to develop narrative meaning and a sense of purpose.Iteration is an integral part of daily routines, such as sleep-wake cycles, commuting, workouts, chores, or practising an instrument. While many iterations just monotonously repeat, others can lead to progression or evolution. With subtle variations among iterations, we can create meaning out of repetitive acts, forging narratives from them and thus making them meaningful to us. Chow draws on rhetoric, psychology, narratology, and design-thinking to show both in theory and in practice how we can innovate the design of mundane and routine activities to give them meaning and expression. He does so by examining Asian and European-originated examples, across a range of domains including visual arts, literature, digital art, video games, and mobile applications.A must-read for designers and enthusiasts looking for ways to innovat

It is for business practitioners, who will find it highly practical, as well as graduate students in fields as diverse as change management, leadership, organisational psychology, and organisational and human behaviour.Trade Review'What the authors do quite successfully in this volume … is to explain how components of their relational proximity framework fit together with more ephemeral concepts such as trust, empathy, commitment and respect.
