Leadership to Save the World

With a focus on real-world problems, the book argues for new leadership mindset to tackle the great challenges of our time and will help build an understanding of leadership to address key issues such as climate change, technological advancement, inequality, housing and alienation.We are hurtling towards apocalypse through a lethal convergence of violence, climate catastrophe and multiple inequalities. Leadership is often seen as the remedy, yet it also produced many of the problems it is asked to solve. This book rethinks four leadership essentials – resisting, timing, spacing and feeling – outlining an approach that is urgent, inclusive and pragmatic. Drawing on organisation and political studies, geography and social theory, and insights from exemplary global practitioners, Smolović Jones assembles a survival kit of practices for communities, workplaces, nations and beyond, providing a compelling framework for leading differently in a world that urgently needs it.
