Description
Impact Leadership: Transforming Complex Systems presents a comprehensive and inclusive leadership development model that addresses the challenge of access and representation in urban leadership and builds capacity to address intractable issues in complex systems.
The book introduces a multimodal, interdisciplinary and community-based approach to leadership development that addresses complex community and systemic challenges and it expands scholarship and research on leadership development that strengthens our understanding of how sustainable transformation is effected in different contexts. Urban communities face multiple issues in greater magnitude and concentration than other communities: income inequality, a deficient educational system, decreased social capital, police brutality, damaged race relations, a hostile political climate, and proportionately greater violence. Many communities are also severely impacted by income inequality, which has risen steadily over the last four decades and fosters inequality. Since organizational and political structures created often support the continued access and achievement of powerful groups, it becomes critical to empower and develop urban leaders for the transformation of their own communities for better outcomes.
