Heroic Leadership is a celebration of our greatest heroes, from well-known legends to the legions of unsung heroes who transform our world quietly behind the scenes. Now in its second edition, this book offers a compelling conceptual framework for understanding heroism and heroic leadership, drawing from theories of great leadership and heroic action.With over 50 revised heroic leader profiles, and 30 new profiles of individuals that have transformed the world, the book explores the many counterintuitive ways that heroes lead, shape, and mobilize their followers. The authors offer a definition of heroic leadership that explains how people easily misconstrue both leadership and heroism, and provide an innovative take on why people are drawn to heroic leaders, and why this can be considered a "fatal attraction". Incorporating the latest theory and research, the authors unpack the following ten categories of heroism: Trending Heroes, Transitory Heroes, Transparent Heroes, Transitional Heroes, Tragic Heroes, Transposed Heroes, Transitional Heroes, Traditional Heroes, Transforming Heroes, and Transcendent Heroes. From within these categories, the authors identify 100 exceptional individuals, describing their lives and how they exemplify the characteristics of the category they have been assigned.Suggesting that our most cherished heroes make for our most transforming leaders, this is a vital resource for students and scholars of leadership studies, organizational behaviour and social psychology. Presenting valuable insights into the lives of both historical and modern leaders, the book is also a fascinating read for casual readers.

This book presents seven internal dimensions that have a direct impact on an organization's global competitiveness and sustainability: purpose, leadership, passion, people-centered, customer-centric, infrastructure, and viability.An organization operates as a complex adaptive system that is impacted by external factors that make up its environment. These external factors, in turn, compel managers to make decisions and take deliberate actions that stimulate the organization's internal dimensions to enhance its competitiveness. Therefore, a competitive organization achieves a sustained level of productivity that leads to growth and the attainment of its objectives, resulting in increased income and well-being. Chapters in this book provide readers with a framework that demonstrates how these dimensions can be studied and analyzed individually, as well as how cultivating a coherent, mutually reinforcing system can enhance an organization's competitive advantage. This book also includes illustrative case studies and proposes an instrument to measure an organization's competitiveness.Providing a strategic framework for enhancing competitiveness in VUCA environments, this book will interest scholars and students in strategic management, competitiveness, innovation and international business.

The transition toward sustainability is now a major issue that has taken centre stage in public debate, policy circles, scientific forums, and business roundtables. Higher Education institutions focusing on educating tomorrow's managers, leaders and business practices are doubly challenged by this development. On the one hand, they must be accountable to their internal stakeholders who strongly identify with the new "environmental awakening.". On the other hand, because of their status as research institutions, they must provide answers and propose solutions to face this challenge which is shaping up to be the most crucial issue that humanity has had to face in the modern era.In this book, faculty and researchers from ESSEC Business School, a recognised leader among European schools of business and management, provide a multi-faceted perspective on the different areas that need to be considered to understand the new market dynamics during this environmental and social transition. The book identifies the obstacles that come in the way of the transformation of dominant business models, and how to overcome them in order to move away from "business as usual.". The various chapters in this work offer a vast diversity of approaches that address the paradigm shift towards sustainability, providing insights for both business and higher education. The book includes chapters from seven different departments at ESSEC: Management, Accounting and Management Control, Economics, Information Systems, Decision Sciences and Statistics, Marketing, Operations Management, and Public & Private Policy. Research-based and combining theory with practice, this thought-provoking book will be welcomed by academics, institutions and professionals alike, wishing to gain perspectives on the challenges of the transition toward a sustainable society.

Handbook of Inclusive Knowledge Management: Ensuring Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity in Knowledge Processing Activities examines the role that diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) are part of the field and the discipline of knowledge management (KM). With the premise that DEI is the inclusion and equal treatment of all types of people, things and viewpoints, the book aims to increase awareness of DEI among KM practitioners and researchers. It is a starting point for adopting knowledge processing activities that ensure that all knowledge voices are represented in knowledge creation and capture. The book explains how this valuable knowledge can be shared and disseminated in such a way that there is equitable access as well as knowledge. The focus of this handbook is on inclusivity in KM, its current state, specific challenges, and an exploration of the best path forward.Currently, inclusivity does not appear to be on many KM road maps, and the book provides insights into the state of the art of inclusivity in KM. In alignment with the book's central theme, it presents a diverse range of perspectives that include those of KM researchers, KM educators and KM practitioners. Addressing different stages of knowledge processing, as well as the KM "bookends" of KM culture, KM competencies and KM governance, the book features in-depth case studies to illustrate how inclusivity can be integrated into KM. The handbook concludes with chapters with concrete recommendations on how to integrate inclusivity into KM in organizations. Reviewing both the theory and practice of inclusive KM, the book helps readers gain actionable insights into a more inclusive KM approach that includes standards, guidelines and checklists.

ERM is considered a dynamic capability that is critical to companies' success from strategic and performance perspectives and is increasingly implemented in response to growing pressure from external stakeholders to enact and add legitimacy to existing management control systems. However, implementing ERM is a challenging process where success is dependent on balancing technical and social factors. This book explores the challenges of implementing ERM from technical, cognitive and social perspectives to enhance the organisations capacity to generate and integrate information and knowledge about risk and uncertainty. In existing publications, ERM implementation is mainly viewed from technical or educational perspectives and treated as formal, technical, linear processes. This book takes a different stance by recognising that implementation depends on formal and informal mechanisms that require a balanced combination of technical and social approaches. It changes the paradigm to demonstrate that implementation of ERM is not a linear process that is similar across industries and organisations, but relies on multiple dependences such as leadership, corporate governance and the culture of the organisation.This book will be a valuable resource for scholars, as well as upper level students, across disciplines related to risk management including accounting and finance, business and management, leadership and organisational studies.

If you have wondered about mesmerizing patterns of flying birds and fish, and asked how they do it, then you have observed what biologists refer to as an intelligent swarm. It is as if the members of swarm are receiving commands on what to do. It is magic! In reality, it is an intriguing set of behaviors that many species including birds, fish, bats, wolves, honeybees, termites and many others have learnt during their millions of years of evolution, which has enabled them to succeed better and sustain their lives. We have learned and applied our learning from nature, and have been inspired to invent many things we use from this fabulous source: Mother Nature! The question that led to long research and this book is set to answer, might be strange and unique: Can we use nature for managing people and teams in companies? After all, social beings in nature seem to be able function very well, and recent research has revealed great approaches they take to make decisions, and work together. This book opens that exact interdisciplinary field, a bridge between managing teams and people in companies with how similar problems are solved in intelligent swarms. The research supporting this idea has led to a set of principles that will transform traditional teams into Intelligent Teams. These teams are capable of bringing performance, learning, and happiness of the team members to a new high level.
