Staff at satellite campuses of regional universities face distinct challenges in building research communities. Limited opportunities for research collaboration and professional development can lead to feelings of isolation, disconnection, and marginalisation, which can undermine wellbeing and research productivity. This chapter discusses how a Shut Up and Write! initiative helped overcome the geographic constraints of our campus by creating a convivial space for collegiality, wellbeing, and shared purpose. Through collective reflection and the visual metaphor of the mandala, we convey the personal and collective significance of our group. Drawing on Iris Marion Young's concept of communicative democracy, we present six strategies for cultivating a vibrant, co-located quiet writing group grounded in convivial practice. Our experience shows how such a writing community can support personal development and mutual care, fostering connection, creativity, and sustained productivity.

Purpose:
This chapter proposes a conceptualization of joyful leadership as a unique leadership style and identifies a future research agenda to further explore the concept. While the concept of joyful leadership appears repeatedly in the nonacademic literature, including in blogs, vlogs, and podcasts, there is limited reference to joyful leadership in the academic literature highlighting a lack of academic rigor around the concept. Joyful leadership is proposed as a unique leadership style with specific patterns of behavior demonstrated by the leader. This research draws on understandings of emotion, positive affect, and leadership in the academic literature to develop a conceptualization of joyful leadership.

Design:
The proposed conceptualization is based on an extensive literature review drawing from both the leadership field and the study of emotions including various theoretical perspectives from these diverse fields.

Findings:
Based on discrete emotion theory a conceptualization of joyful leadership as a unique leadership style is presented, identifying key patterns of behavior associated with joyful leadership including discrete autonomic patterns, actions, nonverbal signals, and identified feelings.

Value:
This research outlines a conceptual model to provide an understanding of the concept of joyful leadership as a unique leadership style. It draws on the current study of emotion, positive affect, and leadership and more specifically examines the concept of joyful leadership aligned to discrete emotion theory. This particular theory of emotion, when examined in relation to leadership, provides a basis for the concept of joyful leadership as a leadership style and the basis for its proposed characteristics and outcomes.
