Opis

Using leadership to generate greater innovation, connectivity, and organizational transformation is crucial for success in this challenging era. The authors present here a new approach to leadership based on findings from complexity science. Integrating real case studies with rigorous research results, they explore the biggest challenges being faced in fastpaced organizations, and provide a host of concrete tools for leading during critical periods, catalyzing novelty, expanding networks, and generating transformative change throughout an organization.

Recenzje

"Dant's Television and the Moral Imaginary represents a welcome contribution to television studies and serves as a bit of a palliative for the decades of television scholarship that would reduce the medium to the Rodney Dangerfield of media platforms. In fact, Dant's appreciable work represents what's good about emergent television scholarship in the digital age." - David Craig, International Journal of Communication (2013)
