In the context of profound and widespread global transformations, driven by emerging socio-economic patterns and accelerated by technological advancements, there is a pressing need to redefine the concept of leadership and to understand why effective leadership is essential for navigating socio-economic change.This work proposes both a theoretical framework and practical approach to capturing the contemporary landscape of socio-economic transformation, with a particular focus on leadership. It introduces the author's original model of transformational leadership, applicable at both the individual and organizational levels. The research models can serve as self-assessment tools for individuals and organizations seeking to align their leadership practices with externally validated measures. These tools aim to evaluate the extent to which leadership practices are truly transformational. In addition, they provide insights into digital, transformational, and organizational maturity-defined as the capacity to lead effectively in dynamic and rapidly evolving social and institutional environments. The book offers a comprehensive overview of contemporary scientific perspectives on leadership, guiding readers through the diversity of existing theories and frameworks. It also addresses the conceptual ambiguities and terminological inconsistencies that often hinder a clear understanding of leadership as a construct. The central argument of the book is that transformational leadership, underpinned by a high degree of organizational maturity, represents the most viable strategy for successfully navigating the ongoing socio-economic transformations driven by technological innovation.

Against the backdrop of the unprecedented increase in the inherent risk potential of the current global economic environment, organizational resilience is a critical imperative for multinational corporations. Despite this acknowledgment, global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and more recently the Russia-Ukraine war, have highlighted that many multinational companies are inadequately prepared for such extreme situations, revealing a significant research gap in the field of organizational resilience. Utilizing a comprehensive analysis of economic literature and qualitative interviews with senior management, this book attempts to close this research gap by developing cross-industry recommendations for developing and maintaining organizational resilience in the long term.

Human activities are rapidly depleting essential resources and polluting our environment, jeopardizing not only our well-being but that of countless other species. Alongside these environmental threats, persistent social issues-poverty, inequality, and health crises-continue to hinder global progress. Addressing these intertwined challenges requires a paradigm shift: an embrace of sustainability across all sectors. This book emphasizes that sustainability should be at the core of every organization's mission and vision, regardless of their size or profit orientation. This transformation entails rethinking business models, refining processes, and redesigning products to reduce environmental footprints while amplifying social impact. The shift to sustainable practices is no longer optional; it is essential for building a resilient, equitable future. Despite the widespread recognition of sustainability's importance, many organizations struggle with questions about its implementation. Who should lead sustainability initiatives? What concrete steps should be taken? What skills are necessary to drive such a transformation effectively? How can organizations measure success in their sustainability efforts?This book provides a strategic framework that addresses these concerns and offers guidance on conceptualizing and implementing organizational sustainability transformation. This framework offers a clear roadmap for understanding and enacting sustainability transformation, making it accessible for a wide range of readers, from business leaders to students. Executives, managers, and entrepreneurs will find practical strategies to design and execute sustainable business models. Social workers, public officials, and legislators will gain insight into implementing impactful, sustainable policies. For students, academics, and educators, this book is an invaluable resource for studying the evolving role of sustainability in our society. Written in clear, accessible language, the book enables readers of all backgrounds to grasp and contribute to the sustainability process. As organizations worldwide begin to reduce resource consumption, limit pollution, and promote equity, equality, and inclusivity, many lack a cohesive strategy for true transformation. This book bridges that gap, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools to make conscious, impactful decisions that drive lasting change.

This volume explores the role of the aesthetics of the synergy between humanism and AI on the level of institutions and organisations, influencing individuals' well-being. Grounded in the principles of the humanistic management paradigm-emphasising sustainability, social organisations and entrepreneurship, conscious capitalism, and the protection of human dignity-it investigates how aesthetic principles (harmony, transparency, emotional resonance, cultural adaptability, or depth insights), applied between a human-centric approach and the use of AI-powered solutions, may help shape public perceptions, foster trust, and affect the quality of institutions within politics, governance, media, and social services. An aesthetic perspective becomes crucial as AI's influence expands, shaping governance mechanisms, media, social interactions, and societal organisation. It enables a critical examination of the challenges, risks, and opportunities arising from this growing role, ensuring a responsible, conscious, and balanced approach to AI's integration into public life. Through theoretical insights, conceptual frameworks, practical case studies, and empirical investigations, it highlights the transformative potential of aesthetics. The book follows a progressive analytical approach, beginning with macro-level institutional frameworks (politics and governance), moving through public discourse (media and perception), and concluding with micro-level applications (social care and well-being). This structured narrative presents a coherent examination of key aspects demonstrating how aesthetic considerations influence the synthesis between the humanistic approach and AI in different domains of societal life.

Social networks are important sources of influence on many personal, organizational, community, and societal behaviors. Network interventions (NIs) are purposeful and planned efforts to use social networks or social network data to generate social influence, accelerate behavior change, improve performance or quality, and/or achieve desirable outcomes among individuals, communities, organizations, or populations.This book is designed to be a guide or primer on how to use the powerful and formal set of mathematical and computational tools developed in the network analysis field to engage individuals, communities, organizations, and/or populations to bring about change. This change can be the spread of information, culture changes, attitude shifts, or accelerating adoption of new behaviors. It is designed to inform medical and public health professionals who are often tasked with promoting behaviors that improve health or prevent disease at the individual, organizational, community, regional, and/or national levels. It is also designed to be a book useful when the chief medical officer of a hospital or medical care organization turns to a colleague and says, "[O]ur rate of handwashing (or insert X) is too low and we need to increase that." The colleague can then offer a copy of this book, which provides a wide-ranging set of options on how to achieve such changes. It can also be applied to non-healthcare organizations and settings whenever someone wants to bring about cultural or behavioral change. Some of these options, such as network-identified opinion leaders, have considerable evidence, while others have none. The robust evidence base for NIs provides the basis for this book, with the goal of providing practical guidance to enable more widespread use of them.The book focuses on how to actively harness the influence of networks to engage people and organizations in behavior change efforts and improve the development and delivery of interventions.
