Abstract
We are functioning in an era of profound and persistent turbulence. Today’s leaders are forced to make high-stakes decisions in an environment widely characterised as "post-normal", non-linear, and ambiguous. Yet, much of the prevailing leadership theory remains disconnected from this reality, offering rigid frameworks that fail to meet the complexity and moral demands of contemporary leadership.
"In Good Hands? Leadership Conversations About Our Times" meets this exact moment. This book is not a collection of easy answers; it is a collaborative guide to asking better questions. Bringing together a powerful mix of academic scholars and seasoned practitioners, it presents leadership as it is actually lived, experienced, and tested on the front lines. [Book Synopsis]
