Leading in Complex Worlds

To live in complex worlds means living in the balance between moments of routine and moments of uncertainty, between the places of practice and the places of performance. To reflect on, make sense of, and lead in complex worlds requires multidisciplinary, multimodal, multisensory, multirelational, multifaceted, and multicultural approaches. This compilation captures the best thinking on the complexity of three key topics Leader Development and Education, Leadership Practice, and Leading in a Globalized World from a diverse range of scholars, practitioners, and educators working in the field of Leadership Studies. In keeping with the mission of the International Leadership Association, the Building Leadership Bridges series connects ways of researching, imagining, and experiencing leadership across cultures, over time, and around the world. Leading in Complex Worlds will prove to be an invaluable resource for leaders, scholars, educators, development professionals, and anyone with a professional interest in leadership.
