- About
At a time when leadership development is evolving beyond the traditional paradigms, it's crucial for researchers and practitioners to delve deeper into the concept of leading from a generative standpoint. This book highlights the diverse realms where generative leadership occurs, yet remains overlooked, under-studied, and undervalued. The overarching theme of this volume is to showcase generative leadership development practices, emphasizing the unseen, muted, and discredited ways in which women, across all age groups, exert leadership. Throughout this book, scholars are exploring a range of contexts where generative leadership development unfolds, unpacking the challenges and opportunities.
This volume seeks to provide space and consideration for the unspoken, unsung ways in which people, specifically women, lead. By understanding the implications of leadership on women from all different ages and in a variety of contexts, this book begins to uncover the common thread behind these often-discounted ways of engaging, mobilizing, galvanizing and organizing others for the common good: generative leadership.
Global Generative Leadership is an exploration into the landscape of female leadership, particularly focusing on global generative leadership practices.
The Transformative Women Leaders Series is published in collaboration between the International Leadership Association (ILA) and Emerald Publishing. Celebrating women leaders and the leadership styles they employ to achieve success, the books in this series highlight successful context-specific leadership approaches and the moral qualities of endurance.
