This book equips future leaders to embrace uncertainty, innovate responsibly, and design strategies that are sustainable, decarbonised, and impactful.

Essential for students of strategic management, innovation, sustainability, and organizational change.

The book is supported by supplementary online resources in the form of PowerPoint slides.

Sustainability is often described as urgent, complex, and transformative. In practice, it is frequently experienced as fragmented, abstract, or difficult to translate into decisions. Many organisations are not lacking intent; they are lacking clarity about how sustainability fits into governance, strategy, execution, and everyday trade-offs.
Decoding Sustainability brings structure to that challenge. It examines sustainability as a systemic condition that reshapes markets, business models, risk exposure, and organisational responsibility. Rather than presenting a catalogue of frameworks or a maturity ladder, the book focuses on integration - how sustainability becomes part of how organisations think, decide, and operate.
The chapters move from conceptual foundations and organisational readiness to culture, governance, value creation, measurement, reporting, and long-term adaptation. Throughout, the emphasis remains on coherence: connecting expectations, systems, and decision pathways so sustainability does not remain symbolic or isolated.
Written in clear language and grounded in lived organisational realities, this book supports readers at different stages of experience - from those seeking orientation to those refining practice. It offers not universal answers, but a structured way to navigate complexity with judgement, credibility, and confidence.

This book explores how, in an AI-driven world, a leader's inner emotional landscape -- thoughts, feelings, and unconscious patterns --directly shapes decision-making, communication, and organizational outcomes. Unlike traditional leadership books that emphasize external competencies, this book places inner mastery at the core of sustainable, high-impact leadership. Drawing on coaching psychology, neuroscience, and extensive corporate experience, it provides a practical, evidence-informed roadmap for leaders seeking to elevate both personal and professional results.

A central feature of the book is its application model for emotional mastery in leadership contexts. It introduces structured methods for emotional regulation, self-observation, and recalibration under pressure. Complex neuroscience and psychological insights are translated into simple, actionable tools for managers, entrepreneurs, and executives -- ensuring that lessons are not merely theoretical but directly transferable to the workplace. The result is enhanced resilience, stronger collaboration, and healthier organizational cultures.

Key benefits include:

* A repeatable process for consciously managing emotions and responding with clarity

* Authentic confidence built on self-awareness rather than authority

* Lasting inner stability in a fast-changing, AI-driven world

* The ability to identify and overcome limiting beliefs and emotional patterns that quietly hold leaders back

Ultimately, this book empowers professionals to break through internal barriers, align their inner and outer worlds, and lead with purpose, balance, and strength in an increasingly complex business environment.

Emotional experiences are complex, ever-present and fascinating features of our everyday lives. They are also richly diverse, including emotions such as anger and joy, feelings which can be bodily or existential in nature, as well as moods which attune us to the world. Thus, our emotional experiences, dramatic or modest, nebulous or well-defined, give life and expression to the situations we find ourselves in, revealing and disclosing their significance for us and eliciting responses and action. In the rapidly evolving field of emotion research, this book makes a valuable contribution through its focus on emotional experience from a qualitative psychological perspective.

The book is about how to understand such experiences using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a qualitative research approach underpinned by phenomenological and hermeneutic theory. Its principal aim is to demonstrate how IPA can be used to deepen and enrich thinking around emotional experiences. To this end, a detailed worked example from a new piece of research is included.

This book is for qualitative emotion researchers, including postgraduates using IPA from a wide range of disciplines in the human and social sciences and humanities. It is also intended for cognitive scientists interested in phenomenology and a first-person science of consciousness. The book will also be of interest to doctoral students, clinicians and practitioners from clinical and counselling psychology and the health sciences who carry out IPA research.

In response to the pervasive destruction of nature-particularly as a result of anthropogenic climate change-there have been increasingly forceful calls, from a legal-philosophical perspective, to grant nature rights of its own. Yet this demand for rights remains tied to the system of subjective rights; it is a liberal line of argument that conceives of freedom (only) in terms of subjective rights and in their guise.
What is sometimes overlooked is that positive law is capable, even without recognizing rights of nature, of conferring highly personal legal positions on individual animals. For example, the prohibition on killing under species protection law effectively granted protected animals something akin to an individual right to life.
However, this status has been progressively curtailed, precisely under the influence of climate change. The new regulation on assessing the risk of killing individuals of collision-prone breeding bird species through the operation of wind turbines (Paragr. 45b of the Federal Nature Conservation Act) is perhaps the most striking example of this development, as it now permits such risks even while accepting "socially adequate risks of loss." Such a provision can no longer be reconciled with the notion of autonomous rights of the affected animals: how can one ask a red kite whether it considers it worthwhile to risk its own life for the 1.5°C target? And who could claim to answer on its behalf?
Against this background, the book argues that the concept of rights of nature is subject to fundamental objections. At the same time, it shows that the threat to animals and nature posed by climate change can be addressed more coherently-even in theoretical terms-through the (generous) granting of collective legal standing to associations. In this way, responsibility for defining and protecting the relevant legal interests is consistently assigned to the legislature.

Compassionate Digital Innovation examines the ethical tensions at the heart of the digital innovations that shape contemporary life, from artificial intelligence and blockchain to social media platforms. Rather than treating harm as an accidental by-product of progress, this book argues that recurring dilemmas are embedded in the structural logics of digital infrastructures.

Through a pluralistic conceptual framework, it shows how amplification, personalisation, persistence, automation, and simulation generate predictable tensions at scale. Drawing on moral philosophy and empirical research, this book proposes compassion as a constitutional orientation for navigating these tensions. Compassion is framed not as sentimentality, but as a disciplined commitment to reduce avoidable suffering and redistribute responsibility in proportion to power. Across social media, Web3 governance, and AI companionship, readers encounter concrete analyses of both promise and peril. This book moves beyond appeals to "personal responsibility" to envision organised compassion through resistance to extractive models, regulatory reform, and the construction of public-interest alternatives.

For managers, technologists, policymakers, researchers, students, and engaged citizens, this book offers a rigorous yet accessible framework for redesigning digital innovation in service of dignity, justice, and the common good.

Women Leaders in Central and Eastern Europe: Organizing, Politics, and the Path to Change is a groundbreaking edited volume that redefines leadership through the lens of women's experiences across a historically and culturally unique region. Drawing on rich, qualitative narratives, the book explores how women have led transformation in politics, public institutions, and organizational life in Central and Eastern Europe. This concise and compelling volume features case studies of individual women leaders, each situated within their country's socio-political context. Highlighting leadership as a practice of meaning-making and collective action, the book challenges dominant Western models centered on hierarchy and individualism. Instead, it offers inspiring accounts of resilience, cooperation, and visionary organizing. Each chapter includes analysis and reflections that bridge personal stories with wider themes in organization and gender studies. Ideal for researchers, scholars, students, and practitioners in organization studies, management, leadership, gender studies, and Central and Eastern European studies, this book is a vital contribution to the global conversation on inclusive and alternative leadership models. It also serves as an invaluable resource for educators and professionals seeking diverse perspectives on organizing and governance.

Family business governance is often thought of as a set of formal policies and structures that every family business should adopt. This is misleading. This book introduces the concept of Natural Governance to broaden the debate and explains how family businesses are actually governed effectively using a combination of informal and formal processes.

Written by Ken McCracken, who has worked as an adviser to family business over many years and gained significant insight, the book provides a framework to describe and sustain Natural Governance, and challenges some popular views about how family businesses should, or do in practice, behave and progress. It describes the more informal governance practices and processes that first emerge spontaneously in a family business, which are sustained by the natural inclination of a family business to move forwards by doing more of what has worked well in the past while trying to avoid repeating previous mistakes.

This book is an essential read for any member of a family business, as well as all professionals who provide services to family businesses. It will also interest researchers and teachers who want to explore this neglected area of family business governance.

This book presents an at-home ethnography of innovation and innovation workers within a cross-functional engineering team in the medical device industry. Written from the position of a natural insider, it combines theoretical engagement with detailed accounts from the often forgotten organizational members research fieldwork, namely the workers themselves. Focusing on often overlooked organizational actors, the study follows engineers through their daily work and life at work during a period of heightened program tension as deadlines intensify.

Attending closely to the team's social practices and their innate roots, the book examines how work is organized, negotiated, and enacted across R&D and clinical sites, where engineers encounter the needs of clinicians and potential users, at times in surprising ways. Alongside ethnographic description, the analysis engages practice-oriented theory to explore moral, identity, power, and tactical dimensions of organizational life, and their relationship to broader ontological structures of work. The book develops a conceptual model and analytical framework for interrogating the conditions, meanings, and lived realities of work and worklife, revealing the depth and humanity embedded in everyday organizational practice as life at work.

This book explores the evolution and internalisation of regional international law in the Eurasian Russian context, covering historical, contemporary, and future perspectives. Providing a forward-looking analysis, the book makes predictions as to how emerging geopolitical and geoeconomic trends will influence the development of regional international law and the balance of power within the Eurasian region.

Analysing perceptions of universalism and regionalism across various historical periods in Eurasia, the book focuses on what now encompasses the post-Soviet states, with wider lessons for the international legal community. The book discusses Russia's use of international law to sustain its geopolitical objectives and the subsequent responses from neighbouring states. Evaluating Soviet international law and its relationship with regionalism and universality, the book also explores post-Soviet Russia's efforts to redefine international law by creating its own vision of regional (Eurasian) international law through regional organizations such as the CIS, CSTO, and EAEU in the post-Soviet Eurasian space. Within the current context of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, it explores how the post-Soviet Eurasian states have navigated their legal and political landscapes amidst competing pressures from both regional and global actors.

The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of international law, alongside Eurasian Russian politics.

Transgender Philosophy: The Basics is an introduction to the exciting and rapidly growing world of trans philosophy.

The book covers a wide range of central themes in transgender philosophy, bringing the reader up to speed with both foundational texts and new ideas from this increasingly global tradition. It addresses key questions, including:

• What is gender? How is it related to gender identity?
• Why are we justified in believing someone when they identify as a member of a gender?
• Why do trans people transition, and how should we think about the desire to transition?
• What is the relationship between transness and colonialism, and how is it related to race?
• Should we get rid of gender? What would we look like if we didn't have genders?
• How should society be changed to improve the lives of trans people?

Accessibly written, this book offers a rigorous overview of the arguments in transgender philosophy, from abstract concerns of philosophical method to grounded and applied political issues.

Transgender Philosophy: The Basics is designed for beginners with no prior knowledge of philosophy, but it also serves a source of new insights and perspectives for students and scholars of philosophy and gender studies.

Not a blueprint but a source of insight, this book reveals how the people behind Galois Inc. built a thriving company without managers, using principles over policies and trust-based collaboration, proving you can create successful organizations that reflect your deepest values.

This practical guide shares insights from 25 years of organizational experimentation, showing how to establish effective conversational practices, build collaborative workflows, implement distributed decision-making, and maintain alignment without traditional hierarchy. Through real examples of both successes and failures, you'll discover how to create workplaces where people genuinely want to contribute and how to transform principles into sustainable organizational systems. The book is unique in its effort to guide readers to create their organization on their terms, rather than encourage them to make an organization like Galois. This book is especially valuable for technical entrepreneurs, engineering leaders, and teams of scientists who recognize that building great technology isn't enough: the human systems matter just as much.

It's for founders and leaders who want to create organizations that reflect their values rather than simply copying "best practices," and for anyone interested in alternative approaches to organizational design that prioritize both effectiveness and human flourishing.

This book explores how creativity is being redefined in the age of artificial intelligence and information overload. Tracing the evolution from Drucker's knowledge worker to Florida's creative class, it examines how generative AI reshapes work, decision-making, and measurement. Drawing on major psychological thinkers such as Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Teresa Amabile, Daniel Kahneman, and Herbert Simon, it connects creativity research with cognitive science and behavioral decision theory. By combining management theory, creativity studies, and historical insight, the book reveals what remains uniquely human in a world increasingly shaped by algorithms.

Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of creativity as a dynamic human capacity rather than a vague buzzword or mystical gift. The book clarifies key distinctions-between abilities, skills, and competences; between Big-C and little-c creativity; and between algorithmic novelty and human originality rooted in intention and cultural meaning. It integrates major psychological traditions, from Guilford and Torrance to Boden and Sawyer, while critically engaging with contemporary definitions such as those proposed by PISA and the OECD. Through historical examples, theoretical reflection, and contemporary cases-including the role of AI in creative production-the book shows how creativity operates cognitively, socially, and culturally. It equips leaders, educators, and professionals with conceptual tools to cultivate creativity intentionally, without romanticizing it or reducing it to measurable output alone.

At its core, this book argues that creativity remains the decisive strategic advantage in the AI era - but only when organizations consciously design environments that protect attention, nurture intrinsic motivation, and cultivate reflective leadership. Written for scholars, managers, policymakers, and advanced students in management, innovation, and education, it provides a rigorous yet accessible framework for navigating creativity, knowledge, and human agency in the algorithmic age.

Becoming a Self-Differentiated Leader offers a transformative framework to understand why ruptures in communication happen and equips readers with the tools to overcome them.

Authentic leadership potential hinges on bridging the gap between the sway of external pressures and your own internal compass. Drawing from decades of experience in psychology, executive leadership, and coaching, the authors provide a psychological and theoretical understanding of secure and insecure attachments, relational systems, and how they feed into our everyday motivations, behaviors, and decisions. This book uncovers the hidden dynamics of Loyalty Contracts - the spoken and unspoken agreements we make with ourselves and others that can quietly erode leadership, fuel burnout, and diminish impact. Each chapter equips readers with practical tools as well as case studies to seamlessly elevate your leadership effectiveness, breaking free from self-sabotaging tendencies that can lead to relational and organizational dysfunction, stagnation, and breakdown.

Whether you are a business leader, executive coach, manager, mentor, HR professional, organizational psychologist, or pursuing your own journey of self-differentiation, this book delivers the tools, insights, and practices required to lead and thrive in the age of artificial intelligence.

This book offers an innovative alternative methodology for managing negotiations grounded in the lived experiences of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. Drawing on behaviourographic analysis of their speeches, writings, and life episodes, the work introduces the conceptual framework of "state of relatedness" and five tangible relationship frames - inclination, influence, interpretative, interaction, and issues handling - that underlie all negotiated engagements. The book demonstrates how Gandhi and Mandela navigated power negotiators, profit negotiators, and polarising negotiators through their unique perspectives, competencies, and sensitivities, ultimately embodying the construct of the "Zero Negotiator" leaders who respond to near-impossible challenges through self-renunciation imbued with larger purpose. Through comprehensive literature review, case studies, and actionable insights, the methodology reveals pathways for managing negotiations in struggles against injustice, inequality, and discrimination.

The work presents managing negotiations ideas including Actionable Consequentialism, Mobilisational Managerialism, Combative Resistance, Secular Mobilisation, Redemptive Magnanimity, and Emancipatory Holism. It will be essential reading for postgraduate and doctoral students in Sociology, Social Work, Public Policy, Public Administration, Management, Law, and International Relations, as well as negotiations scholars, practitioners, trainers, and civil administrators seeking transformative approaches to conflict resolution in domestic and international contexts.

The future belongs not to those who maintain the status quo, but to those who can envision and create systems that allow humanity and our planet to flourish together. This book is an invitation for you to become an evolutionary leader.

As we face unprecedented polycrises-climate change, social inequality, economic instability-traditional leadership approaches are proving inadequate. This groundbreaking book challenges business leaders to transcend conventional thinking and become architects of a more sustainable, abundant future. Drawing on Buckminster Fuller's visionary framework and cutting-edge systems thinking, this book offers more than theory-it provides a practical pathway to becoming an evolutionary leader capable of addressing our most complex challenges. It presents seven transformative competencies that elevate you from problem-solver to systems transformer and actionable strategies for designing innovations that serve people, profit, and planet simultaneously.

While other books merely diagnose global challenges or present utopian visions, this work bridges the critical gap between awareness and action. It is for forward-thinking executives, entrepreneurs, social innovators, policy makers, and change agents committed to creating meaningful impact and collaborate in an interconnected world.

In an era where digital algorithms dictate visibility, creative professionals are struggling to attract audiences and sustain long-term careers. Yet, K-pop has seemingly mastered the art of digital engagement, successfully leveraged global fandoms, and bypassed traditional media gatekeepers. This book explores how K-pop's strategic approach to content creation can serve as a model for creatives everywhere, offering powerful lessons on building sustainable careers beyond algorithm dependency.

Through a research-driven analysis of K-pop's content and engagement model, this book reveals four key lessons behind its global success: (1) Mass Content Creation as a Business Model; (2) Leverage Fans as Business Partners; (3) Access is the New Digital Currency, and (4) Cultivate Non-Traditional Income Streams. By drawing parallels between K-pop's strategies and the broader creative industries, this book offers actionable insights to help creative professionals develop sustainable businesses through innovative digital content strategies and next-level audience engagement inspired by the recent global success of groups such as Stray Kids and BTS.

This book serves as both an academic study and a practical guide, tailored for scholars in media, digital culture, marketing, and creative industries, as well as creative entrepreneurs seeking new business strategies.

This book advances a unifying argument that resilience is not a fixed trait, sector-specific response, or technical solution, but a dynamic, context-sensitive capability that emerges through strategy, learning, institutions, and social relations.

Across its 16 chapters, the book brings together diverse empirical settings and theoretical lenses to show how resilience is constructed and enacted in conditions of uncertainty, constraint, and disruption. From organisations and value chains to entrepreneurs, universities, financial systems, digital infrastructures, and public institutions, the chapters collectively demonstrate that resilience is shaped less by isolated resources and more by alignment across systems, actors, and environments. The book challenges celebratory or simplistic narratives of resilience by revealing its ambivalence: while resilience enables survival, adaptation, and innovation, it can also mask structural failures, shift responsibility onto individuals, and normalise precarity when institutional support is weak. A recurring theme is that resilience is strongest when embedded in learning processes, inclusive governance, ethical values, and long-term capability-building rather than short-term coping or compliance.

By integrating perspectives from strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, education, development, systems thinking, and cyber governance, the book offers a coherent yet pluralistic framework for understanding resilience as a socio-technical, organisational, and political process. Overall, it positions resilience not as an end state to be achieved, but as an ongoing practice of navigating risk, mobilising resources, and shaping more sustainable, just, and adaptive futures across global and local contexts.

The making of the modern scapegoat.

Who gets blamed when societies feel under threat and why? In Persecuted, journalism scholar Jack Lule examines the deep roots of scapegoating as essential to human society. Scapegoating helps explain how and why people unite, shaping the ways groups define belonging, exclusion, and collective identity.

Drawing on the work of Kenneth Burke and Rene Girard, Lule argues that scapegoating is not a social malfunction but a core mechanism through which communities are formed. Nations rely on scapegoating to draw boundaries between "us" and "them." What makes the modern era especially volatile, he contends, is the role of media-from early messengers and newspapers to contemporary social platforms-in manufacturing crises, amplifying accusations, identifying targets, and accelerating cycles of blame. Moving fluidly across history, theory, and contemporary politics, the book shows how media systems have increased the reach, speed, and intensity of scapegoating, often transforming local resentments into global networks of hate and hostility. Lule presents a sober analysis of how scapegoating persists precisely because it feels natural, justified, and invisible to those participating in it.

Persecuted is a concise, unsettling exploration of a process that underlies nationalism, moral panics, and political polarization. Its hope-tentative but urgent-is that recognizing the recurring power of scapegoating may help readers identify it in real time and resist its most destructive consequences.

Women Politicians Online examines the complex relationship between gender, politics and digital media, focusing on how women politicians both navigate and are shaped by online platforms.

Taking a mixed methods approach, the book examines the disproportionate hostility women politicians face online, strategies for curating their political image and the influence of satire and digital news on public perceptions. It forwards a novel framework for understanding how women politicians are depicted on and treated via digital media, while balancing this against women politicians' use of digital tools to project authenticity, challenge gendered expectations, and reclaim political communication from traditionally masculine norms.

Psychology, Law and Society in India: The Unconscious Republic uses psychoanalysis to look below the surface of the apparently rational legal system, consider the subterranean factors at play and devise interventions to bring law closer to justice.

With specific reference to India, Rakesh Shukla takes a look at the relationship between love and rage in intimate relationships, the impact of the father-son dynamic in politics and inter-community relations. Shukla considers the dynamics behind parental love and 'honor killings', Hindu sexuality and fanaticism, and how the 'other' comes to be viewed as 'evil'.

Grounded in law, clinical practice, and interventions in judicial training, this book will be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more about the interface of society, the psyche and law.

Justice begins in the fragments. While the legal system excels at classification and resolution, it often fails at recognition. Written from the bench by an Irish High Court judge, this book challenges the administrative sublime of modern bureaucracy, which sees persons too often converted into risk scores and bullet points.

Blending lived judicial experience with queer theory, literature, and philosophy, this book proposes a jurisprudence of attentive refusal to let the human disappear into procedural fluency. From piccolo paeans to global postage stamps to reflections on the moral motion of the soul, this book redefines the judge's task as being not just to decide, but to listen for the stutter and the shimmer that the official record can forget. Structured as a reflective journey across hemispheres - from the Global North to the Global South and back to Ireland - the book weaves the thoughts of various thinkers, from Aquinas and Baldwin to Butler and Munoz, into a form of lyrical jurisprudence. Reflecting on the inner life of judging, that is to say the moral and imaginative dimensions of law as they unfold in attention, silence, and refusal, the book offers a companion to legal practice that invites readers to think again about what it means to judge, to recognise, and to stay near the lives that law touches. Judgment, it maintains, is not mere decision but an act of ethical attention, a form of seeing that keeps the human in view.

This book will appeal to academics and advanced students in the areas of jurisprudence, legal theory, ethics, and law-and-literature, as well as others with an interest in the ethics and practice of legal judgment.

This book examines the idea of punishment and some alternative humane methods of treating crime such as the public health-quarantine approach. A well-researched work on a subject of wide philosophical, legal, social, political and popular interest, it develops illuminating critiques of several important positions while also proposing a new and innovative approach to the key issues. It highlights how especially in societies with a weak welfare state and wide social and economic inequalities, punishment may sometimes be necessary for crime prevention even when such punishment is unjust, thus presenting a moral dilemma. The author shows the relevance of Gandhi's practical idealism to such problems. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, law, politics, sociology, South Asian Studies as well as to general readers.
