The International Leadership Association is sponsoring a peer-reviewed
volume on LEADING WITH SPIRIT, PRESENCE, AND AUTHENTICITY to be published in
2014 by Jossey-Bass/Wiley. The focus will be on importance of leaders
cultivating wisdom; the book will explore this in a global, cross-cultural
way from different perspectives. We are particularly interested in studies
addressing leadership development that fosters leader who, as Peter Senge
put it are "people who are deeply involved in their own realization of
becoming a human being". Please read the detailed call at
http://www.ila-net.org/Publications/BLB/callforsubmissions.htm
Note that there are two conference calls over the next few days to talk with
me, as editor, and with the publication manager from the ILA - the calls are
Tuesday and Wednesday, US time, and are described in detail on the ILA website.
We welcome many types of submissions:
- Empirical studies of the impact of spirituality, mindfulness, presence,
authenticity, or other such models on leaders. We are interested in all
kinds of research: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.
- Theory development, grounded in thorough reviews of previous relevant
scholarship.
- Impact studies of leadership development programs in the various areas.
- Artistic works, including photographic essays, stories, and poems.
