Suddenly, the inherent uncertainties and ambiguities of leadership were starkly revealed for all to see as the dynamics of complexity and change played out intensively, and very publicly, on the global stage. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLeadership in Complexity and Change draws on complexity science to paint a picture of a world in constant motion, where leadership is enacted in the midst of complexity and continuous change. We must learn to engage with complexity. If not now, when? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I of this insightful book brings complexity science to life by considering the practical challenges of complexity and its implications for leadership. Part II considers how leaders can reinvigorate existing tools and approaches with a new mindset, before offering some new tools and practices for learning informed leadership. Part III concludes by considering the person in the practice of leadership in complexity and change. Key ideas are presented through mini-cases and practical examples embedded throughout the book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will help executives, managers, and professionals \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003erecognise where some of the challenges come from \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eunderstand why those challenges persist \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eengage with the dynamic patterning of organisational life \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eappreciate the scope for leadership \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erecognise the choices that can be made \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003echoose how to manage themselves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharon Varney is a scholar-practitioner who specialises in developing people and organisations. Sharon developed her deep expertise in leadership and change working in large, complex organisations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe was Vice President for international learning and development at a US bank, before joining a global engineering and construction company in the offshore oil and gas industry as their group head of learning and communications. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the early 2000s, Sharon was bitten by the complexity bug. This changed the trajectory of her career and she left the offshore business to take a deep dive into academia. Her award-winning doctoral research, which has a very practical edge, explored the complex dynamics of organisational change and the role of change leaders within it. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSharon now effectively bridges academia and practice. Working across a wide variety of business settings, she applies complexity science insights in her leadership and organisational development (OD) work. This includes bringing thought and practice leadership to The Henley Forum, an applied research centre at Henley Business School, and to Masters' programmes at Henley and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42100099874951,"sku":"9783110713060","price":31.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6c1aba4c8ceaa7cd1238a326314206d4.webp?v=1732381297","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/leadership-in-complexity-and-change-for-a-world-in-constant-motion-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
