"This book shows readers how to rethink and reimagine leadership and charts a course towards a new vision of leadership. It outlines lessons to be learned for leadership not only after the Covid-19 pandemic but in light of other ongoing crises around issues such as climate change and global inequality. The pandemic has shone a harsh spotlight not just on the leaders of organisations, but on the concept of leadership itself and the way we lead. Many of those who were in positions of power before the crisis have been found wanting; too often, our idols have turned out to have feet of clay. But does the problem lie with the leaders themselves? Or do the roots of the problem lie deeper? Do we need to start rethinking and reimagining the kind of leadership we will need in a post-Covid world? Post-Pandemic Leadership brings voices from every sector to demonstrate what changes we can make in order to make leadership fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. Illustrating a need for a radical change in leadership, with leaders focusing much more on human relationships, kindness, fairness, well-being and a general sense of responsibility, this book will be of interest to both established leaders and the next generation of leaders in education and in practice"--

Frank Witzel's essay is a self-encounter in mirrors provided by texts. It encounters wounds that will not disappear, even if sometimes it seems like writing may provide an approach to healing. The ego shows itself only in its concealment, the "I" eludes itself. Authorship appears as a principle that can hardly be determined.

Vor der spitzen Feder des Stern-Kolumnisten Holger Witzel ist nichts und niemand sicher. Egal ob er das Märchen von der "Ostalgie" als westdeutschen Marketingtrick enttarnt oder über die kokette Sehnsucht vieler Schwaben herzieht, echte Ostberliner zu werden – keiner schreibt lustiger über die ewigen deutsch-deutschen Missverständnisse, und keiner bringt sie gekonnter auf den Punkt. Die Fakten und Beobachtungen, mit denen der bekennende Ossi dabei argumentiert, schmerzen besonders, weil sie trotz aller Überspitzung im Kern sehr wahr sind. Vor allem aber machen sie richtig Spaß ...

"For the past three thousand years people have been thinking about the problems of management. This book shows how thinking about management has evolved and changed. It shows how changing social, political and technological forces have challenged people to think about management in new ways, and how management thinkers have responded. Sometimes their responses missed the mark and occasionally, great ideas about management failed to be picked up and were lost along the way. Sometimes, truly original and creative, even world-changing ideas appeared. Following key currents in management thought from the origins of civilisation to the present day, the book begins in the ancient world, when people were wrestling with the problems of organization and leadership. It continues through the Middle Ages, east and west, as people pondered on how to manage risk and think strategically, and on the role of business in society. It shows how the Industrial Revolution led to the emergence of scientific management, and how political and social events of the twentieth century shaped management thinking right up to the present day. From the pyramids to Facebook, from military strategy to managing for sustainability, A History of Management Thought tells the fascinating story of how management thinking has changed, shifted, evolved and developed down through the centuries. Students taking classes in the history of management thought will find this text to be the perfect accompaniment to their studies and will be a captivating read for anyone else"--
