Pastoral Leadership Is...

In Different, world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal draws on decades of observation and studies of both human and animal behavior to argue that despite the linkage between gender and biological sex, biology does not automatically support the traditional gender roles in human societies. While humans and other primates do share some behavioral differences, biology offers no justification for existing gender inequalities.Using chimpanzees and bonobos to illustrate this point--two ape relatives that are genetically equally close to humans--de Waal challenges widely held beliefs about masculinity and femininity, and common assumptions about authority, leadership, cooperation, competition, filial bonds, and sexual behavior. Chimpanzees are male-dominated and violent, while bonobos are female-dominated and peaceful. In both species, political power needs to be distinguished from physical dominance. Power is not limited to the males, and both sexes show true leadership capacities.Differen

What is the future of the contemporary university and for those who lead them?Considering leadership in the broadest sense, including academic leadership (teaching and research) as well as leadership practices of those in formal management positions, Jill Blackmore outlines how multiple pressures on universities have produced leadership practices in management and research which are more corporate than collegial, and which discourage many academics from aspiring to leadership. She uses a range of theoretical tools, informed by critical and feminist organisational studies, to unpack higher education and how it is being transformed in ways that undermine its core work of teaching and research. Drawing from three Australian university case studies, this book uses leadership as a lens through which to investigate the effects of restructuring of the higher education sector which have impacted differently on academic identities and careers.

What results is a brilliant and complex portrait of leadership, refracted through the lives of very different subjects. Looking far beyond their most well-known victories and defeats, Kissinger contextualizes their strategies over the scope of their lives -

主管不應該只會下達命令，更應鼓勵大家踴躍發言，提出問題！新時代主管要賦權團隊成員承擔責任，而不是要部屬聽令行事！廣受好評的暢銷書《當責領導力》作者，前美國海軍艦長大衛‧馬凱特（L. David Marquet）以全新的教戰守則為基礎，要管理者學會賦權團隊成員作出更棒的決策，更勇於當責。本書針對對舊式的領導力提出一些嶄新建議，尤其對不同類型的人進行了分類，提出了有趣的論述。本書拒絕強人領袖，並舉例說明了領導者為什麽應該鼓勵大家踴躍發言。本書告訴我們要根據情況調整風格，給人言之有理的直觀感受。或許你認為，一個有效率的領導者就是要很快作出明智的決策，講話時能激勵人心，或是能對團隊作出明確指示，好讓大家執行計畫，達成組織或企業目標。但大衛‧馬凱特對這種想法持有不同意見，他認為過去的領導模式已不再管用。在如今網路盛行、資訊密集的商業型態下，身為主管，對於自己企業內或作業環境中的現實狀況沒辦法看得鉅細靡遺。為善用團隊同仁的眼光、觀感和想法，你得建立彼此共同合作的實驗氣氛，鼓勵大家在注意到問題時講出來，一起努力確認問題，並共同找出解決問題的方法。太多主管迷戀於自己的聲音，主導計畫用口述的，等看見問題開始浮現時仍然堅持己見。即使你想成為一位更強調相互合作的主管，但你的努力可能會被工業時代所傳承下來的那些命令和控制式的管理語言和思維逐漸破壞。是時候把工業時代之領導方式的教戰守則丟到一邊了。在本書裡，主管將學會自己選擇講的話是如何戲劇性地改善決策與團隊執行力。作者為所有主管扼要的敘述了六種做法，主軸在於你如何運用所講的話：˙要掌握時間，而不是只有時間觀念：預先規劃決策點，給你的團隊成員所需要的工具。假如他們注意到不對勁的地方，可以在計畫的行動過程中先叫「暫停」。˙相互合作，而不是強迫動作：身為主管，你應該是最後一個表達意見的人。讓你的團隊講出有個範圍的答案（例如：你對這個計畫的信心有多少？），而不是侷限在是非題（例如：這是不是個好計畫？）。˙要有承諾，而不是按照指示：向團隊說明你的整體目標，讓大家承諾一次做好一小部分，而不是期望團隊按照特定的指示去做。˙要能告一個段落，而不是無止境做下去：如果每天做的感覺像是重複動作，表示你用的方法不對。要明確表達出計畫具體的起始和終止日，讓團隊密切合作。˙設法改進，而不是證明能完成：要求團隊成員就計畫和過程進行改善，而不是讓他們證明可以達成目標，或在
