The capabilities leaders are required to demonstrate have changed and will no doubt continue to do so. As there is no change without learning, their development experiences are critical. Too many development programmes are preoccupied with defining what leaders should learn, but 'content' is
conditioned by dynamic circumstances and in the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) organizational world, it is rapidly out of date.
Developing Leaders For Real: Proven approaches that deliver impact presents chapters from international experts analysing approaches to leadership development that have actually delivered results, capturing how executives at all levels really learn to become better organizational leaders.
The chapters:
• Share with developers how to create contexts for learning that enable leaders to develop the capabilities needed to thrive in the fast-paced business environment
• Provide examples of formal processes of development which have worked in practice
• Demonstrate the need for experiential involvement, self-reflection, and a holistic approach

The ability to achieve business goals by incorporating disruptive technologies as driving forces is critical to an organization's survival. This book prepares executives for the challenge of creating a culture of exploration and shaping strategic transformation in times of profound disruption. How
can leaders bridge the gap between business competence and the creation of new wealth?
Understanding that disruption moves society from one level of existence to the next, the author demonstrates that to be future proof, leaders must demonstrate their ability to adapt to changing dynamics with creativity and complex thinking to ensure that they learn and innovate at the same time.
Showing readers how tactical agility in future proofing enables employees at all levels to innovate, and take intelligent risks whilst pursuing a clear strategy, Manu showcases how strategic agility in future proofing enables organizations as a whole to identify new trends and changes in the
business environment, and empowers individuals to adapt dynamically to new realities.
Recognising that companies which respond to disruptions in the early stages of amplification can convert potentially existential threats into transformative opportunities, this book shows us how good leadership, intelligent informed opinion, and rapid action in a time of change can help
organizations not only to predict the future, but create it.

contexts in which individual early career educators practice in, the authors equip readers to apply the contents to their own professional pathway.
Presented thematically, and allowing for analysis of specific issues as well as overarching themes, this book is must-have reading for those who have just commenced a career in education or are just about to.

on education courses as well as those who have embarked on a career in teaching, or related fields.
Emotional Self-Management in Academia draws on new empirical research from academics' own personal accounts of emotional experiences from their everyday practice to illustrate how their emotional work is adapting in response to a constantly changing workplace.
Marilena Antoniadou and Mark Crowder re-examine Hochschild's notion of emotional labour and combine it with emotion regulation strategies and emotional boundaries as utilised into the everyday practices of modern academics. Using illuminating accounts from academics working in the UK, US, Australia,
Denmark, Greece and Cyprus, Emotional Self-Management in Academia emphasises that it is emotion – complex, messy and opaque – that drives academics' self-management, as shaped by contextual factors, such as organisational climate.Aimed at academic researchers and professionals, the
chapters establish the context of contemporary emotion work and examine it specifically in higher education settings.
This is a timely and engaging exploration of the emotional labour of academics today, set against a backdrop of managerial challenges and economic pressures of working in this sector.
