Taylor & Francis Inclusive Leadership The Essential LeaderFollower Relationship Applied Psychology Series
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.

Taylor & Francis Ethics Meaningfulness and Mutuality
Book SynopsisThere is an urgent need to understand how private and public organisations can play a role in promoting human values such as fairness, dignity, respect and care. Globalisation, technological advance and climate change are changing work, organisations and systems in ways which foster inequality, alienation and collective risk. Against this backdrop, organisations are being urged to make their contribution to the common good, take account of the interests of multiple stakeholders, and respond ethically as well as efficiently to complex challenges which transcend traditional organisational and state boundaries. Ethics, Meaningfulness, and Mutuality poses critical questions related to organisational design by challenging limits to current thinking, such as the neglect by political philosophers of markets, firms and stakeholders, or by organisational theorists of business ethics. In so doing, the book advances our understanding of the theory and practice of ethical organising.

Taylor & Francis Ltd New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis
Book SynopsisThis innovative book presents state-of-the-art thinking on using transactional analysis (TA) to change the structure, relationships and culture in organizations.The book is arranged according to the three levels of organizations described by Eric Berne the structural, interpersonal and psychodynamic levels and the chapters expand on his concepts at each level. With contributions by an international range of authors, incorporating a selection of practical case studies, the book illuminates key themes including group and team dynamics, psychological safety, emotion and, most foundationally, boundaries. Exploring the tensions of boundaries that can determine both the stability of a system as well as its innovative potential, this book provides a strong structural framework for TA coaches, consultants and analysts, as well as other professionals working with and within organizations. Trade Review‘New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations is an important, contemporary collection of chapters that - contrary to its title – is placing TA contribution at the heart of OD practice. Coming out for publication in the midst of one of the most turbulent periods of recent times, it will offer some stability in its sense-making of organizational and development practice which we all need.’Dr. Eliat Aram, CEO, The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, UK"As New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations is a book focused on innovation of organizational TA, we also asked a newer TA organisational generation from different countries to write a sentence or two why this book is important for TA and for the organizational field. An impressive synergy of thought leaders in the field of TA in organizations that inspire us to innovate our approach to organizations, leaders and teams." Danijela Djuric, Growth Code Consultant"In the 60’s, Berne geniously connected the individual and the collective dimension inside a single theorical approach. If human beings barely changed since then, organiszations have transformed very deeply. This wonderful book pushes "BOT" towards the 21st century. BRAVO!"Olivier BETTACH, Executive coach and method actor, Paris, France. "The book opens your eyes on the resources of agile organizations which are able to use a "negative ability", the ability to "be" (and not to "do") in uncertainty, remaining impassive, facing absence or loss of meaning, without wanting at all costs and quickly to reach results and certainties." Rossella Iannucci, Head of Internal Coaching Academy Intesa Sanpaolo Group"It's been said many times that organisations are heading into crisis over and over again. The research into how Transactional Analysis can help leaders make practical choices is growing: this book is at the cutting edge and is a must read for anyone that's serious about effective leadership through volatile times".Andrew Tailby MAChief Executive Officer TRESC Ltd"The authors are highly experienced Organisational TA Professionals. What they don’t know about working on the edge with teams and organisations is probably not worth knowing. When reading this book, you will be immersed by its wealth and blend of knowledge, wisdom, theory, and practical application. A must have for all coaches, managers and consultants ready to take risks in order to promote the wellbeing, growth and development of organisations and teams.

Taylor & Francis Agile Project Management and Complexity
Book SynopsisThis research monograph presents an inter-disciplinary study of the impact, and current status, of applications of complexity-related concepts in the early stages of development of Agile Project Management (APM). The results serve as an introduction for exploring more profound relations between complexity-related ideas and APM in the future.The increasing complexity of software projects and their environment in the 1990s constituted the main determinants of the development of the family of methodological frameworks called Agile Project Management. Development of APM has been shaped by a broadly defined area of research called complexity science or complexity theory based on complex adaptive systems (CAS) and on their characteristics: Complexity, chaos, the edge of chaos, emerging properties, non-linearity, self-organization, etc. In the 21st century, due to the expansion of Agile beyond software development, the challenges deriving from the complexity of projects and the enviTable of Contents1 Conceptual framework1.1 Assumptions of the study 1.2 Complexity and management, project management, and Agile Project Management1.3 Terminology1.4 Agile and project management: Method, practice, methodology, or approach1.5 Agile Project Management: Origins and status quo.
