Book Cultural Leadership in Practice

Download or read book Cultural Leadership in Practice written by Steven Hadley and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do cultural leaders really think about the problems they, and the arts and cultural sector, face? This book brings global leaders in the cultural field into dialogue with academics and experts to offer profound insight and perspectives on the complex issues the cultural sector faces in a rapidly accelerating and destabilising twenty-first century context. The book engages directly with leaders in the arts and cultural sector, bridging the gap between academia, policy and practice. Each chapter sheds new light on national cultural policy contexts, offering different perspectives on arts subsidy, audiences, the cultural workforce, heritage, artform development and how cultural leadership functions in a fast-changing local, national and international context. Interviews are conducted by academics and experts with significant knowledge and understanding of the arts management and cultural policy field, who ask critical and probing questions. Featuring interviews with an impressively international range of senior figures from the cultural sector, from the Royal Opera House, BMW, Bloomberg and Onassis Foundation and covering countries including the UK, Germany, Chile, Singapore, Greece, USA, Serbia and Ireland, the book gives a truly global overview of cultural leadership from leaders who are open to question, critique and challenge. Each chapter offers a unique and fascinating insight into the mind of a leader in their field, with their experience ranging from huge participatory events featuring tens of thousands of people to the visual arts, opera, the Turner Prize and the #blacklivesmatter movement. This book will be essential reading for reflective cultural leaders around the world, as well as a useful resource for students and scholars involved with arts and cultural management and policy.

Book Culture  Leadership  and Organizations

Download or read book Culture Leadership and Organizations written by Robert J. House and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2004-04-29 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture, Leadership, and Organizations reports the results of a ten-year research program, the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) research program. GLOBE is a long-term program designed to conceptualize, operationalize, test, and validate a cross-level integrated theory of the relationship between culture and societal, organizational, and leadership effectiveness. A team of 160 scholars worked together since 1994 to study societal culture, organizational culture, and attributes of effective leadership in 62 cultures. Culture, Leadership, and Organizations: The GLOBE Study of 62 Societies reports the findings of the first two phases of GLOBE. The book is primarily based on the results of the survey of over 17,000 middle managers in three industries: banking, food processing, and telecommunications, as well as archival measures of country economic prosperity and the physical and psychological well-being of the cultures studied. GLOBE has several distinguishing features. First, it is truly a cross-cultural research program. The constructs were defined, conceptualized, and operationalized by the multicultural team of researchers. Second, the industries were selected through a polling of the country investigators, and the instruments were designed with the full participation of the researchers representing the different cultures. Finally, the data in each country were collected by investigators who were either natives of the cultures studied or had extensive knowledge and experience in that culture. A unique feature of this book is that while it is an edited book and many experts have written the different chapters, unlike other edited books, it is a fully integrated, seamless, and cohesive book covering the many aspects of the theory underpinning the GLOBE.

Book Mapping Global Leadership

Download or read book Mapping Global Leadership written by Sander Schroevers and published by CCBS Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CCBS Global Leadership series seeks to compare and contrast leadership styles and practices across the world. Based on country-specific literature reviews, and empirical analyses of survey and interview data with local leadership scholars, management trainers, and writers, our series demonstrates how global leadership skills are wholly distinct from those that are required in the domestic context. In this latest edition, the following countries are examined: Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Belgium, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Czechia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, France, Guyana, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Moldova, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Tunisia and Uganda. Mapping Global Leadership can help senior executives to create forward momentum within their organisations, remain abreast of the latest developments in global leadership, along with enabling them to successfully operate in unfamiliar cultural settings. It does so by helping leaders navigate the ongoing shift toward culturally-endorsed leadership styles and practices in twenty-four nations.

Book Roars of Traditional Leaders

Download or read book Roars of Traditional Leaders written by Chai Charles Moua and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to sustain the Mong cultural practices. It is based on the roaring views of fifteen Mong traditional leaders about the oral and cultural practices of the Mong people in the U.S. Maintaining the cultural legacies of a group of indigenous people such as the Mong Americans is imperative since they have more than 5,000 years of cultural traditions. The cultural and oral practices of the Mong New Year celebration, marriage custom, and traditional funeral rituals have been challenged as a result of the Mong migration from China, often through other host countries, to the United States. The Mong traditional leaders have been the vocal voices that are influential in regard to maintaining the Mong traditional culture. Roars of Traditional Leaders discusses this leadership role, a key component of organization development and transformation, played by contemporary leaders in the challenge of sustaining the Mong's rich cultural traditions in America. Leaders will have to come together in the discussion of cultural practices and traditions in the century to come.
