Elements of Leadership - Gordon B. Schmidt - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Elements of Leadership - Gordon B. Schmidt - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Leadership literature is dominated by Western paradigms, but what about the lessons of leadership from a cross-cultural perspective? In this highly readable volume, Sy Islam and Gordon B. Schmidt utilise examples from Avatar: The Last Airbender to bring this unique lens of perspective to a range of leadership behaviour themes. The chapters offer research and evidence-based advice on how to improve as a leader on topics such as ethics, balance, power, cross-cultural leadership, female leadership, succession planning, organizational memory, leadership development, mentorship, and creativity. A focus on leadership helps the reader to see that regardless of their current position or role, they can engage in leadership and have impact, whether a current leader or not. Elements of Leadership connects concepts from the franchise to uncover what the reader can achieve within their own leadership process. Exploring Effective Leadership Practices through Popular Culture aims to bring examples, theory and methodology of leadership to life by analyzing academic concepts through popular culture examples that will appeal to a broad range of readers.

Sensory Penalities - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Sensory Penalities - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Sensory Penalities reflects an explosion in explorations of the sensory and disrupts conventional expectations of both form and focus by expanding anthropological practices and craft into the field of criminology and criminological research. In providing accounts of physical/sensorial experiences within sites of surveillance and control, the authors in this edited collection bring elements of research experiences (often absent from existing work) to the fore; the impressions and sensual experiences which remain forever in field notes. In so doing they carve out spaces to consider these places and the ways in which they are theorised anew. The book aims to explore what sensory aspects of experience mean to those engaged in such research, and how they can shape our criminological thinking. What are the sensory textures of these experiences? What do they tell us? How do we communicate them? Finally, what does consideration of these elements tell us about penality? This timely volume challenges and remakes assumptions about what criminology is and should be; more accurately reflecting the post-disciplinary nature of the field. This series has been renamed to “Emerald Studies in Culture, Crime, Criminal Justice and the Arts” effective for 2025 publications onward.

Population-Level Learning and Industry Change - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Population-Level Learning and Industry Change - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Any system for giving good advice has to maintain a tension between telling the truth and not being heard, on the one hand, and telling what can be heard but is not true, on the other. In such a system, the role of academic researchers is not so much to give advice as it is to generate knowledge and to provide critical commentary on advice that is given. Along the way, an academic tries to counteract the natural tendency of advice givers to become more attentive to the hearing of their clients than to the knowledge underlying what they say. This book is in that tradition. It honors the noble tradition of giving advice on strategic management and organizational learning by exploring some elements of fundamental knowledge that might inform such advice.

Exploring Teacher Educator Knowledge - Celina Dulude Lay - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Exploring Teacher Educator Knowledge - Celina Dulude Lay - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Teacher educator knowledge in curriculum development is situated in a space that is tacit and embodied. It is important to recognize that within the realm of teacher education (as opposed to K-12 classrooms), this knowledge is complex and draws upon nuanced personal practical expertise. When research is situated in self-study, it enables teacher educators to transition from tacit and embodied understanding to explicit knowledge that can be communicated. Considering these aspects, Celina Dulude Lay explores the use of narrative vignettes as data; the vignettes demonstrate knowledge of content, the fixed and fluid elements of course design attending to milieu, pedagogical intent, preservice teacher knowledge and belief, the value and fragility of relationships, and theory. Exploring Teacher Educator Knowledge lays the foundation for teacher educators, promoting strategies and methodology to support and foster practical and theoretical knowledge.

Learning Across the Lifespan - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Learning Across the Lifespan - - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

There is a widespread consensus that adult education and continuing vocational training are central elements in a strategy aimed at achieving economic growth. However, the stakes are not only economic. Adult education has also become a structural determinant of employment opportunities, earnings and quality of life. Adults who lack the motivation, opportunity or information needed to participate in a lifelong learning society will become increasingly disadvantaged. Educational systems must prepare people for a life of active learning. This volume argues that the principles of lifelong learning must be at the heart of a new approach to skills development. Lifelong learning is advocated not as a theoretical and utopian idea, but as the inevitable reality in affluent, technologically advanced, politically and culturally pluralistic societies. Each chapter addresses one of several questions important for the future of lifelong education. In particular they concern theory and research on the five themes: lifespan development and education; intelligence; transfer and capacity to learn; informal learning in the work place; learning to learn; and the implications for policy.

Sustainable Business in the Arab Region - Randa Diab Bahman - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Sustainable Business in the Arab Region - Randa Diab Bahman - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Existing research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is written from a largely Westernized viewpoint, but what is the relationship between CSR, organizational – and wider – culture on the sustainability of businesses in the Arab region? Also, what impact do Islamic beliefs and values have on ethical business practices? Randa Diab-Bahman explores the understanding and expression of CSR in an Arab context; through a qualitative pilot study with prominent CSR experts (people with leading roles in CSR in the private, public and non-profit sector) in a predominately Islamic setting. Sustainable Business in the Arab Region confirms the importance of cultural elements in influencing the understanding and expression of CSR. Interestingly, the importance of the Islamic religion and specific aspects of its religious doctrine are found to be particularly important to understanding why CSR may be expressed differently in an Arab context. The implications of these findings are important for policymakers, as it can help them better align their CSR initiatives and better understand their possible impact on stakeholders. Not only relevant to those researching CSR across different organizational cultures, the findings here are important to anyone doing sustainable business globally.

Schooling for Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion - Denise Mifsud - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Schooling for Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion - Denise Mifsud - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. Discourses of social justice, equity and inclusion are often presented as given constructs to schools, with the expectation for school leaders to construct schooling provision and practices to ‘solve’ a wider societal, national, and global plaguing problem. While schools are crucial to ensure the provision of equitable education, they may also contribute, advertently or inadvertently, to the transformation of socio-economic inequalities into educational inequalities. Presenting theoretical pieces and case studies from Malta and Australia, in addition to using examples of applied social theory, such as Actor-Network Theory, Denise Mifsud unravels the conceptual confusion around the terms social justice, equity, and inclusion in relation to schooling and highlights the numerous persistent challenges faced when striving for equity in education. The critical conceptual arguments and empirical research presented in Schooling for Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion will be of interest to academics, policymakers, and practitioners in the educational policy and leadership fields internationally. Additionally, each chapter features pedagogical elements, including discussion questions and annotated bibliographies, that will help take the scholar experiment with novel methodologies and social theories and apply these to their own context while transporting them across disciplines in researching issues of social justice, equity and inclusion.

Resilient Democratic Governance - Girol Karacaoglu - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Resilient Democratic Governance - Girol Karacaoglu - Bog - Emerald Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

Though diversity and interconnectedness are inherent and integral to the natural order, they often clash in the social world. To address this, Resilient Democratic Governance: Navigating Unity in Diversity for Sustainable Well-Being proposes a comprehensive framework advocating for the harmonious integration of diversity and interconnectedness in social structures, emphasizing their pivotal role in building resilience and achieving sustainable wellbeing. Girol Karacaoglu''s innovative study explores the convergence of various political philosophies and social elements while still maintaining a sense of unity and cohesion in society. Through the perspectives of thinkers like Abd al-Karim al-Jili, Spinoza, Confucius, Alfred North Whitehead, Abraham Maslow, Sir Isaiah Berlin, Ronald Dworkin, Satish Kumar, and Amartya Sen, each chapter delves into how these scholars have conceptualized unity in different domains, spanning nature, creative processes, freedom, value, ecology, and economy. Karacaoglu argues that embracing this diversity-in-unity framework can serve as a guide to governance for sustainable wellbeing. His argument culminates in a reflection on the paths laid out by the Buddha and Lao Tzu, underscoring their profound insights into achieving balance and harmony in our interconnected world. Emerging as a hopeful voice amid increasing ideological polarisation, this thoughtful work reimagines democratic governance to offer a practical guide for deliberate and transformative social and political change.
