Bates, M. Todd, Leadership and Rhetoric: The Nature and Role of Words in Leadership. (Leadership Horizons) 130 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <757-450>
ISBN 978-1-032-74345-5 hard ¥15,446.- (税込) GB￡ 52.99

Rhetoric is not about communication tips or slick methods for grabbing attention. It is, rather, a skill of understanding the point at issue in complex moments, seeing a solution, and moving people to the most desirable future. Connecting classic works of rhetoric to contemporary studies of leadership, this book draws from the long history and wisdom of rhetoric that has proven effective in the dynamic ambiguities of the leadership context. It clarifies how these works help leaders shape their environments through words - interpreting complex circumstances, framing experiences that provide group understanding, and creating a basis for structured action. From its inception, rhetoric has been about attunement to particular circumstances, recognizing the constraints and obstacles that present opportunities for the perceptive leader who can see and articulate ways of moving people forward to a more desirable future. This book makes an explicit connection between classic works and current ideas of rhetorical leadership, a growing area of higher education, and research in leadership studies.

ISBN 978-1-041-21831-9 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Business Conformance in Sport Management examines how leadership styles, governance structures, and organizational cultures in sport organizations secure both legal compliance and social conformance through principles of democracy, transparency, ethics, and inclusion.The book offers a comprehensive overview of management approaches ranging from controlling to stimulating leadership styles, federal to unitary governance structures, and inclusive to exclusive organisational cultures. Through a detailed examination of these frameworks within the field of sport, the book sheds light onto when each approach proves most effective, with particular emphasis on the International Biathlon Union case study before and after its corruption scandal. Readers will gain three essential insights: a contingent approach to leadership that adapts to specific sport management situations; a critical distinction between legal compliance and social conformance with their differing consequences; and an application of convenience theory that explains leadership deviance through motives, opportunities, and attitudes. The book delivers these benefits through evidence-based frameworks, comparative analyses, and practical case studies that demonstrate effective governance models. The book also provides actionable strategies for implementing ethical leadership practices while navigating the complex regulatory landscape of modern sport.Through rigorous empirical research and theoretical foundations, readers will develop the analytical tools to identify governance vulnerabilities before they become crises. Each chapter builds upon core concepts with real-world examples that illustrate how leadership decisions impact organizational reputation, stakeholder trust, and long-term sustainability in the competitive sport ecosystem. This book will be useful for students, researchers and academics interested in sport management, sport and business, business leadership, and organizational behaviour.

Thoroughly reviewing decades of scholarly research, he covers the theories underlying entrepreneurial emotion and pores over the influence of affect on venture creation and development.Hsieh inspects the roles and implications of emotions during opportunity formation, opportunity exploitation, entrepreneurial action, performance, and exit, going beyond the typical view that emotional intelligence, emotion regulation, and resilience alone suffice. Besides addressing topics of passion and emotional exhaustion, the chapters also rigorously lay out the practical 'lessons learned' for entrepreneurs in relation to teamwork, leadership and the family context. The last part of the book depicts how emotionality differentially impacts stakeholder management, social venturing and both regional and country-level business activity.The Emotions and Emotionality of Entrepreneurship offers sophisticated insight which can benefit entrepreneurs, policymakers, and NGO directors alike. It also serves as a crucial read for scholars and students of entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, and management.

The Research Handbook on Entrepreneurship and Diversity provides a critical and comprehensive exploration of the three key facets of diversity in entrepreneurship: diversity of entrepreneurs, diversity of entrepreneurial contexts and diversity of entrepreneurial practices.A leading group of international contributors challenges the dominant Western-centric, high-growth, tech-driven entrepreneurship narrative by showcasing the multifaceted realities of entrepreneurship across different social, economic and institutional settings. The book examines how individual dimensions of diversity - including gender, ethnicity, migration status or sexual orientation - shape entrepreneurial experiences and opportunities. It also emphasises how social, spatial and institutional environments influence entrepreneurship, particularly for marginalised and minoritised groups. Furthermore, it explores the diversity of entrepreneurial practices, strategies and ambitions, illustrating how entrepreneurs innovate and adapt within their specific environments.Integrating superdiversity, intersectionality and relational perspectives, this volume offers fresh insights for students, researchers, policymakers and practitioners seeking to understand and advance inclusive entrepreneurship and equitable economic development in today's globalised world.

In today's innovation-driven global economy, there is much to be learned from the lived experience of disabled entrepreneurs in respect of support, be it by governments, charitable organisations, professional bodies or universities. Addressing the ongoing problem of inequality in access and opportunities unites all these entities. The issue this book addresses is how the innovation and entrepreneurship created by disabled people are variously supported in different national contexts. What influences the availability of resources in support of entrepreneurship and innovation by disabled people - and what works?Representative country case studies in this publication are India, Nigeria, Hungary, the United States and Tuerkiye. The book also draws on previous research in the UK. These countries illustrate the variations in how research into entrepreneurship undertaken by disabled people is focused on key national and regional issues. The contributions provide a summary and critique of existing legislative and policy approaches. These are detailed examples, but they are not unique and 14 different non-European countries have been identified where research on innovative entrepreneurs with disabilities has been undertaken. These include Brazil, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Nepal and South Africa.In this Policy Expo the authors consider how inequalities in participation, access and opportunity are addressed in different countries and regions. They consider the design and implementation of policies in support of disabled entrepreneurs in order to provide an impetus to include and improve larger entrepreneurship and innovation systems. The country chapters provide an analysis and critique of current national and policy provisions and also address overall socioeconomic benefits, beyond those of the individual. Examples are given of the experiences of disabled entrepreneurs to illustrate these points.

ISBN 978-1-0353-4397-3 hard ¥26,235.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

Dark Triad in Leaders examines how corporate and political history is filled with 'successful' figures who ultimately caused harm, sowed misery and destroyed organizations. Armenio Rego, Miguel Pina e Cunha, Ace V. Simpson, and Stewart R. Clegg explore the concept and consequences of 'Dark Triad' (DT) leaders, characterized by high levels of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. DT leaders are particularly dangerous because they resort to seductive and manipulative tactics to reach power and leadership positions and then, if left unchecked, instrumentalize others to pursue their own personal goals. Providing mechanisms for preventing, managing and defending against DT leadership, the authors discuss cases of celebrated leaders that resulted in causing harm and destruction of livelihoods. They emphasize the need to avoid empowering these harmful traits and investigate how susceptible followers and conducive environments can enable individuals with DT characteristics to take power. The book draws on multiple fields, including leadership, organizational psychology, and business ethics, to portray the danger and irresponsibility of success earned at the expense of others. Through theoretical analysis and empirical cases, chapters shed light on the importance of protecting organizations, warning that business schools should be cautious about their teaching methods.This book is a fascinating and crucial read for scholars and students of business leadership, human resource management, organizational behavior, and social psychology. Business professionals and those in management roles will also benefit from its practical insights.
