It is a book for students, faculty, and everyone who engages in leadership for social change for a better world. It is an inspiring and liberating book in that it validates each one of us as we discover and practice the gifts we have been given. Helen S.

| conscious change leader accountability model: New Horizons in Workplace Well-Being Satinder Dhiman, 2022-11-29 This anthology examines how to cultivate human flourishing in the present-day boundary-less work environment. Anchored in the moral and spiritual dimension of well-being, it draws upon several allied fields such as workplace wellness in business and psychology. It utilizes findings from positive psychology, social psychology, organizational neuroscience, quantum physics, organizational behavior, and the world’s contemplative wisdom traditions to support the case for workplace flourishing. Chapters cover such themes as analyzing the cause of workplace disengagement and pathways to employee engagement; self-transformation as a prelude to transform organizations; and mindfulness as framework to enhance human flourishing. Research shows that organizations with higher levels of employee engagement routinely out-perform those with lower employee engagement. This book provides valuable insights into why employee well-being is such a powerful driver of employee performance and engagement and advances scholarship on how organizations can enhance workplace well-being and fulfillment. |
| conscious change leader accountability model: Leading School Renewal Steffan Silcox, Neil MacNeill, 2021-03-14 Leading School Renewal explores how school principal leadership behaviour impacts on school change endeavours, and in particular pedagogic renewal, which is a form of educational improvement that is primarily concerned with the growing of the knowledge, skills and beliefs of education in a manner that optimises students’ life options. The authors identify attributes of principals who have engaged in school renewal and examine the influences on their leadership behaviours and disposition towards renewing their schools while also acknowledging the influence of site-specific contextual variables. The authors propose that certain leadership behaviours exhibited by school principals are integral with renewing a school’s pedagogic focus. They argue renewal is a preferred form of sustainable educational change because it relates to deep-seated cultural changes in approaches to pedagogy, curriculum and school structures. Whilst also maintaining that leadership is at the heart of school improvement and principal leadership practices which are based on a clear sense of purpose, values and beliefs about learning and teaching can transform a school into a learning organisation. Including a foreword by Professor John Hattie, this book is appropriate for all school leaders and educators who want to learn more about school leadership behaviours and highly effective school change. |
| conscious change leader accountability model: Role of Leadership in Facilitating Healing and Renewal in Times of Organizational Trauma and Change Byrd-Poller, Lynda, Farmer, Jennifer L., Ford, Valerie, 2021-06-25 Organizational trauma theory endeavors to examine the psychological and physical effects of trauma on individuals and groups within an organization. Individual trauma, the individual mental and emotional disruptions that affect the well-being of self, often contributes to organizational trauma. Or sometimes, the disruptions are external and caused by societal, economic, or political changes. Recent traumatic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and racial tensions stemming from social injustices present even greater challenges for organizations as leaders seek to facilitate healing, restoration, and renewal. Organizational trauma is currently playing out in our organizations, and organizational scholars, leaders, and managers are looking for ways to mitigate this trauma without having explicit knowledge or understanding of how to deal with it. Despite the increasing need to better understand organizational trauma and how to address it, this body of research has not played a prominent role in mainstream organization and management theory. Role of Leadership in Facilitating Healing and Renewal in Times of Organizational Trauma and Change examines the importance of dealing with trauma in organizations and related topics of interest. The chapters highlight global perspectives and present new and significant information and observations about organizational trauma and offer insights derived from a solidly and sufficiently broad knowledge base of theory, research, and practice. This book will also grant a basis of understanding trauma, its antecedents and outcomes, as well as how it can be mitigated and will provide information and insights regarding organizational trauma and how it interacts with and influences other organizational phenomena. This book is ideally intended for managers, human resources officers, academicians, practitioners, executives, professionals, researchers, and students interested in examining the ways in which organizational trauma is impacting the workplace. |

| conscious change leader accountability model: Advocating for Social Change Miguel Ambriz, Ed. D., 2025-04-11 The purpose of this critical ethnographic study was to explore health disparities among Latina/o immigrant farmworkers' lived experiences. A gatekeeper was used to select and inform the participants in this research study. Data were collected through testimonios (oral testimonies) from structured interviews with eight Latina/o documented/undocumented immigrant farmworkers who worked in agriculture for at least three years and were over the age of eighteen. There were various findings related to the health disparities experienced by Latina/o immigrant farmworkers were identified: (a) structural barriers, (b) social barriers, (c) socioeconomic barriers, (d) cultural barriers, and (e) fostering social change through lived experiences. The findings corroborated the testimonios shared by participants regarding their health disparities experienced on the farms. Although participants experienced inadequate working environments and health disparities on farms, most explained how social environmental change has been implemented on farms throughout the years that have improved their well-being. However, advocacy groups need to create a safe space through agency for Latina/o immigrant farmworkers. The study results indicated that fostering social change among Latina/o immigrant farmworkers was needed to prevent health disparities for this group. According to participants' lived experiences, there has been some improvement in their healthcare and environmental work conditions. This study also found that social advocacy groups need to develop methods to create a safe space for this group. Although social advocacy groups reach out to this group via radio, bulletin boards, and newsletters, they need to take greater initiative to create welcoming environments and safer spaces. The Latina/o immigrant farmworker population will continue to increase in numbers and continue to contribute to agriculture in California in future years. Therefore, public policies affecting this group's well-being must be reformed in agricultural communities to minimize health disparities. |

| conscious change leader accountability model: Community Peter Block, 2009-09-01 Most of our communities are fragmented and at odds within themselves. Businesses, social services, education, and health care each live within their own worlds. The same is true of individual citizens, who long for connection but end up marginalized, their gifts overlooked, their potential contributions lost. What keeps this from changing is that we are trapped in an old and tired conversation about who we are. If this narrative does not shift, we will never truly create a common future and work toward it together. What Peter Block provides in this inspiring new book is an exploration of the exact way community can emerge from fragmentation. How is community built? How does the transformation occur? What fundamental shifts are involved? What can individuals and formal leaders do to create a place they want to inhabit? We know what healthy communities look like—there are many success stories out there. The challenge is how to create one in our own place. Block helps us see how we can change the existing context of community from one of deficiencies, interests, and entitlement to one of possibility, generosity, and gifts. Questions are more important than answers in this effort, which means leadership is not a matter of style or vision but is about getting the right people together in the right way: convening is a more critical skill than commanding. As he explores the nature of community and the dynamics of transformation, Block outlines six kinds of conversation that will create communal accountability and commitment and describes how we can design physical spaces and structures that will themselves foster a sense of belonging. In Community, Peter Block explores a way of thinking about our places that creates an opening for authentic communities to exist and details what each of us can do to make that happen. |

| conscious change leader accountability model: The 5 Disciplines of Inclusive Leaders Andrés T. Tapia, Alina Polonskaia, 2020-10-20 Diversity initiatives are falling short. This book shows leaders how to develop the skills needed to build sustainably inclusive organizations using a tested, research-based model developed by the global organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry. According to the journal Human Resource Management, companies are spending over $8 billion a year on diversity programs. Yet today, the senior leadership teams at Fortune 500 companies are far from mirroring the diversity of its workforce and its customers. Andrés Tapia and Alina Polonskaia, senior leaders at Korn Ferry, argue that to build sustainable diversity and inclusion, organizations need to have inclusive leaders at all levels. In this book, Tapia and Polonskaia draw on Korn Ferry's massive database of 3 million leadership assessments to reveal the essential qualities of inclusive leaders. They discuss the personality traits these leaders share and detail how to develop what they call the five disciplines of inclusive leadership: building interpersonal trust, integrating diverse perspectives, optimizing talent, applying an adaptive mindset, and achieving transformation. Tapia and Polonskaia also outline the competencies behind each discipline, describe individual and organizational exemplars of inclusive leadership, and show how the five disciplines enable leaders to unleash the power of all people and to build both structurally and behaviorally inclusive organizations. This book will help leaders foster the skills to deal with today's complex challenges and create a more inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous future for all of us. |

| conscious change leader accountability model: Critical Leadership Praxis for Educational and Social Change Katie Pak, Sharon M. Ravitch, 2021 In this edited volume, contributors draw on the work of Andrade and Morrell (2008) in articulating critical leadership praxis, as well as critical race theory and critical education leadership scholarship, in order to offer new and generative theories of change; they make explicit power dynamics, social inequities, and taken-for-granted forms of stratification in educational organizations with the primary purpose of offering specific and useful frames, concepts, and practices to educational leaders that they can adopt in their own work. The goal is for educational leaders to develop their sense of agency and and their knowledge and professional competencies for taking an equity and inquiry stance in their work of transforming the organizations and people around them. The work is intended to provide a counter narrative to a broad literature in educational leadership that reinscribe white middle-class male leadership styles, values, and priorities as an assumed and normative backdrop, both in terms of the frames used and the values and epistemologies promoted. The work is organized into four sections: Transforming Self; Transforming Educators; Transforming Organizations; and Transforming Systems. Contributors include practicing leaders, doctoral students with leadership experience, and leadership faculty and researchers-- |

| conscious change leader accountability model: Green Leadership Strategies for Increased Employee Engagement and Performance Şeker, Cemile, Örücü, Edip, Kaya, Asli, 2025-04-16 Green leadership strategies have emerged as tools to foster employee engagement and enhance organizational performance, while promoting sustainability. By integrating environmental stewardship into leadership practices, companies can increase motivation among employees, while aligning their values with organizational goals. Green leadership goes beyond adopting eco-friendly practices and involves creating a culture where sustainability is the core of the business. This encourages employees to take ownership of their roles and the impact of their work. The approach boosts morale and job satisfaction while driving innovation and productivity, as employees are more motivated when they believe their work contributes to a greater social and environmental good. Organizations that embrace green leadership may experience improved performance, stronger team collaboration, and increased loyalty while advancing sustainability objectives. Green Leadership Strategies for Increased Employee Engagement and Performance explores solutions for employee engagement in business leadership and administration. It offers strategies for environmentally conscious leadership practices to ensure increased employee performance remains sustainable. This book covers topics such as management science, sustainable development, and organizational behavior, and is a useful resource for managers, environmental scientists, business owners, academicians, and researchers. |
| conscious change leader accountability model: Non-Governmental Development Organizations and the Poverty Reduction Agenda Jonathan J. Makuwira, 2013-12-04 The Non-Governmental Development Organisations (NGDOs) have, over the past two decades, entered centre stage in their active participation in the social, political and economic issues affecting both the developing and developed world. This book offers a highly stimulating and concise summary of the NGDO sector by examining their history and metamorphosis; their influence on the social, political and economic landscapes of the ‘Northern’ and ‘Southern’ governments and societies. The author analyses competing theoretical and conceptual debates not only regarding their contribution to the global social political dynamism but also on the sector’s changing external influence as they try and mitigate poverty in marginalized communities. This book presents NGDOs as multidimensional actors propelled by the desire to make a lasting change but constrained by market-oriented approaches to development and other factors both internal and external to their environment. While a lot of attention has been given to understanding international NGDOs like World Vision International, Oxfam, Care International and Plan International, this book offers a critical analysis of grassroots organizations – those NGDOs founded and established by locals and operate at the deepest end of the development contexts. This work will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of areas including Development Studies, International Organizations and Globalization. |
