Leadership In A Turbulent Era eBook

Harry Garretsen and Janka Stoker define turbulence as a multi-level phenomenon affecting both societies and organizations, proposing ways in which leaders can navigate through. Part 1 of the book sets the scene by connecting our turbulent times with leadership, and by addressing the main features of this era - be it various acute crises or more gradual but yet fundamental structural changes. The first part of the book also shows how leaders are affected by turbulence, and how they can effectively guide organizations and societies through unprecedented upheavals. Based on these state-of-the-art insights, in part 2 renowned academic experts provide guidance into the behaviors, mindsets, and practices effective leaders need to foster resilience, vision, and identity in turbulent contexts.

Leadership in a Turbulent Era is an essential toolkit for students and academics in leadership, organizational behavior and strategic management. Its focus on the combination of research and practice will also greatly benefit business and public leaders, management consultants and human resources professionals.
