Organizational Change, Leadership and Ethics: Leading Organizations Towards Sustainability PDF
Preview Organizational Change, Leadership and Ethics: Leading Organizations Towards Sustainability
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE, LEADERSHIP AND ETHICS Organizations and societies are facing extreme challenges that require action (IPCC, 2021). The UN’s sustainability goals, demographic change, and the green shift are knocking on the door, while traditional education, and ways of leading and managing this development, often fail to keep up. Organizational Change, Leadership and Ethics challenges leadership orthodoxy, assumptions, and myths currently preventing the further development of theory and practice. It encourages intelligent disobedience in support of greater leadership capabilities and capacity in organizations and societies. As such, the book is written for everyone who wants to be MAD – to Make A Difference – students, scholars, and practitioners alike. Rune Todnem By is Professor of Leadership at the University of Stavanger, Norway; UNESCO Chair on Leadership, Innovation and Anticipation; and the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Change Management: Reframing Leadership and Organizational Practice: Reframing Leadership and Organizational Practice. Bernard Burnes is Professor of Organizational Change at the University of Stirling Management School, Scotland. Mark Hughes is a Former Reader in Organizational Change at the University of Brighton, England.
