Book SynopsisIn a world plagued by wicked problems, escaping the win-lose dynamics of zero-sum game approaches is crucial for finding integrated, inclusive solutions to complex issues. In this book, the reader will uncover real-life examples of inclusive leaders that have broken the zero-sum game. From Ivy League colleges to African villages, from the very top of the Catholic Church to anarchist conferences and meetings, inclusive leadership can be applied – and the protagonists will tell you how. As the examples in the book demonstrate, inclusive leadership is not the privilege of a few gifted individuals with extraordinary human qualities. Inclusive leaders are not necessarily charismatic (like Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King, Jr). The vast majority of inclusive leaders are just regular everyday people. They only differ — and what a difference it makes! — in being able to turn what seem to be zero-sum problems into opportunities for inclusiveness. Including a foreword from Edwin Hollander, a pioneering visionary of inclusive leadership, you will find concrete examples and tools in this book that you can start using from day one (and in your own way) as an inclusive leader. Trade ReviewThe ambition of this excellent whole volume coupled with the passion in the individual chapters provides a stunning journey from authenticity to Ubuntu, from building to transforming, from China to the Congo and from work in the academy to practice in the field. Resonating with both scholars and practitioners, the book carefully establishes inclusivity as a terrain and challenges leaders to take a stand, embrace the core message, and help bring about the transformations we all seek in our organizations and communities. -- Professor Mike Hardy CMG OBE,Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University UKIn all my years as a public servant, I have been looking for the holy grail of getting an organizational consensus built and getting people rowing in the same direction to achieve a common vision. This cutting-edge volume provides a roadmap of constructing an inclusive and diverse culture in all sectors of society that both leaders and aspiring ones can profit from. -- Ambassador Eric M. Bost (Ret),Former US Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa, Associate Director of the Borlaug Institute at Texas A & MThis book arrives at just the right moment for me: No amount of rejiggering the old theories of leadership offers solace or guidance to an increasingly dystopian and foreboding future. A new framework is needed, but what is it? This robust collection of international authors offers fresh new paradigms, yes, but also new pedagogy, practice, and possibilities for more inclusive, diverse, and democratic societies. -- Georgia Jones Sorenson, Ph.D.Churchill College, University of Cambridge,Møller Leadership Scholar and By FellowThe editors and authors of Breaking the Zero-Sum Game have created a persuasive case for “inclusive leadership,” mobilizing the many for shared purpose rather than a few for private gain. With an assemblage of studies, applications, and cases, Aldo Boitano, Raúl Lagomarsino Dutra, and H. Eric Schockman make a compelling case for leadership that speaks to all and seeks the common good, a vital calling at a time when the opposite seems ascendant in some quarters. -- Michael Useem,Leadership Center, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania,Professor of Management and DirectorContributors from leadership studies and other fields explore theories and best practices that can transform societies into more inclusive, diverse, and democratic entities. They cover pushing the boundaries of inclusiveness, trials of breaking the zero-sum game, spiritual inclusiveness, inclusiveness and diversity in higher education, and inclusiveness in the field. Among their topics are troubling and reconstructing the discourse of inclusion, harmony but not sameness: the inclusive leadership style of the Chinese profound persons, whether inclusive leadership is a Western concept or a strategy that will transform the world, building inclusive leaders: a critical framework for leadership education, and striving for horizontality by addressing power differentials in radical organizing. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *Table of ContentsForeword by Edwin P.

Book SynopsisConflicts and violence, repression and oppression have always been part of the world, resulting in situations where no one really wins and leading to stalemates that cause the degradation of economic order – and of the human condition. Whether conflicts can be won or not, the human cost must be addressed when building a lasting peace, and this role falls now to our future leaders and followers. In Peace, Reconciliation and Social Justice Leadership in the 21st Century, expert contributors explore the ways in which leaders and followers can bring forth pacifism, peace building, nonviolence, forgiveness and social cooperation. The chapters focus on the role of positive public policies on the national and international order, and the role leadership and followership plays in harmonizing differences and personifying space. They include lessons learned from post-conflict societies in Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Chile, and others to remind us all that peace is a collective endeavour where no one can take a back seat. Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners from the worlds of leadership, followership, transitional justice, and international law, this research provides a blueprint of how people-led, bottom-up, grassroots efforts can foster reconciliation and a more peaceful world.Trade ReviewIn all my years as a public servant, I have always looked for guideposts to help me better understand a fractured world. This outstanding interdisciplinary volume provides an excellent roadmap to piece together the mosaic of peace, reconciliation, and social justice not just from a leader’s perspective, but from the voices and actions of followers. This book forms an essential praxis through the lens of gender, diversity, spirituality, inclusiveness to better deal with global restoration of a more beloved community. -- Ambassador Eric M. Bost (Ret), Former US Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa; Deputy Director of the Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture and Development at Texas A&M UniversityIn this ambitious interdisciplinary volume, the authors seek to understand the concept of peace and reconciliation through leadership and followership theories and practice from the current generation’s perspective in the midst of today’s turbulent and unsettling times. The immediate need for this global analysis of peace and reconciliation from a trans-disciplinary lens is crucial. The authors of this volume provide a solution through the concept of decolonization by first giving a voice to those most impacted by conflict and then by listening to those voices in order to bring about social justice. -- Raida Gatten, Associate VP of Academic Affairs, Woodbury UniversityAt a time when the global order founded by liberal democracies is in retreat, beset by authoritarian rivals on one side and failing states on the other, academia might be ready for the tonic of a “peace and conflict studies” approach to the study of leadership – leading to an understanding of the moral, spiritual, and political roles of leaders in healing a divided society. This book lays the groundwork. -- Michael Woo, Dean, College of Environmental Design, California State Polytechnic University, PomonaSocial oppression, civil war, and state genocide are often a direct product of leadership failures, but recovery from them can be facilitated by other leaders and even followers who appreciate and exercise the powers of truth telling, community reconciliation, and national rebuilding. H. Eric Schockman, Vanessa Hernández, and Aldo Boitano have gathered a host of penetrating and informative accounts of just that in Peace, Reconciliation, and Social Justice in the 21st Century, which serves as both an inspiration and a roadmap for those whose wish to apply their own leadership to recovering and coming back from human calamities. -- Michael Useem, Professor of Management, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Leadership Dispatches: Chile’s Extraordinary Comeback from Disaster.An excellent view of the study of leadership and a just world order, the book provides a trans-disciplinary approach to issues of equity, inclusion, and trust. The building of sustainable peace is basic to the text as each chapter examines the themes of reconciliation, community building, international law, and social justice. This book is important and I give it my highest recommendation. -- Dr. June Schmieder-Ramirez, Chair, PhD in Global Leadership and Change, Chair of Leadership Studies, Pepperdine UniversityContributors to this book include academics and practitioners in international law, social justice, leadership studies, conflict studies, international studies, and international human rights; many are practitioners in social justice and reconciliation initiatives around the world. In their papers on reconciliation, community building, international law, and peacebuilding, they present issues and ideas for both leaders and followers, centering on the positive impact of public policies on national and international order. Case studies detail experiences in post-conflict societies including Rwanda, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Chile. Many of the papers offer profiles of women peacemakers and deal with the importance of women’s activism, women’s economic empowerment, and reparation for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
