Description
De Gruyter Handbooks in Business, Economics and Finance provide a comprehensive, must-have survey of a whole subject area critically discussing the leading views in the field. The main goal of each handbook is to survey a topic, explaining why an issue is important and critically discussing the leading views in the area. Aimed at the international market, these handbooks cover emerging and cutting edge topics in business, economics and finance.
The De Gruyter Handbook of Inclusive Leadership emerges from an evolving understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion challenges within organisations and beyond. Inclusive leadership rests on the recognition that simply accepting diversity is insufficient; true leadership requires the active embrace of inclusive practices as to ensure that people feel a sense of belonging while also being valued for their uniqueness. In a dynamic, tech-infused and politically unstable geopolitical context, the concept of inclusive leadership has rapidly expanded to address new issues such as AI, robots, social movements, co-worker relationships, backlash and customer as well as bio diversity, and has looked more deeply at its nuanced expression in different global contexts.
This handbook explores these issues and more, representing the cutting edge of inclusive leadership theory and practice. Not only does it offer a comprehensive and extremely interesting exploration of inclusive leadership, integrating insights from scholars and practitioners around the globe, it also provides leaders and practitioners with helpful ideas about how to be a much more inclusive leader in the day-to-day.
