In today’s episode, we’re unpacking Chapter 9 of Exploring Leadership (2nd edition) written by Richard Bolden, Jonathan Gosling, and Beverly Hawkins. This chapter explores cross-cutting and emerging perspectives of leadership, guiding us through difficult conversations about gender, inclusion, technology, and ethics. The authors highlight the importance of inclusive and compassionate leadership, the ethical challenges posed by digitalization, and the ways technology can both empower and distance leaders and followers. Overall, this chapter emphasizes the need for leaders to confront biases, foster belonging, and practice ethical, socially responsible leadership in a rapidly changing world.
