Chapter 16 in Leadership Today, 2017, pp 279-295 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Leadership entails initiative. Scholars and teachers have many opportunities to demonstrate leadership through our choice of projects and the theoretical lenses we apply to them. We take our position with those scholars who suggest that the predominant direction of global development generates significant social and environmental degradation and fuels the insecurity this degradation generates. We provide a radical feminist orientation to this view of globalization and introduce some inspiring initiatives intended to contribute to the transformation of local and global development in ways we value. Thus we begin the chapter by sketching our radical feminist position on our stand with those who are critical of the current path of global development. We then draw attention to initiatives that express values of leaders infrequently hailed in management education. We make suggestions for student engagement with our analysis of globalization, our radical feminist orientation, and our chosen stories of transformational intent.
