Building Bridges to Inclusive Leadership Through the Lens of Cultural Narratives - Paperback

by Joseph Trimble (Editor), Josephine C. H. Tan (Editor), Antonio Jiménez-Luque (Editor)

Building Bridges to Inclusive Leadership through the Lens of Cultural Narratives explores leadership models that transcend traditional Western-centric views and acknowledge diversity in leadership expression and effectiveness on a global scale. Transcending one-dimensional approaches, the text challenges readers to consider how leadership styles are influenced and shaped by various cultural, social, and lived experiences.

The book discusses the influence of different worldviews and cultural values on leadership styles, arguing that mainstream leadership discourse has often overlooked these important perspectives. It introduces a range of leadership views, including those from non-Western, minority, Indigenous, and female vantage points. The book also examines the intersectionality of social identities and the biases potentially influencing leader behaviors and assessments of their effectiveness.

Ideal for courses in leadership studies, diversity management, and organizational development, Building Bridges to Inclusive Leadership through the Lens of Cultural Narratives calls for a more reflective and inclusive understanding of leadership.
