Inclusive Leadership in Higher Education examines leadership efforts that move beyond simple diversity programs in the journey towards the institutional transformation necessary to create inclusive educational environments. Chapter contributors from higher education institutions across the globe share how leadership is developed and implemented at all levels to create more inclusive organizational cultures. Diverse chapters address the forces and factors associated with organizational change while examining leadership theory, policy, and practices. This important volume provides a comparative perspective, highlighting common themes across a range of institutional and cultural contexts to help leaders promote an organizational mind-set and culture of inclusion and inclusiveness.
"For educational progress, university leaders must successfully promote inclusion along with diversity. The essays published in Inclusive Leadership in Higher Education reveal the struggles of university leaders to achieve inclusive and effective modes of leadership. All who work to bring universities forward to greater inclusiveness can benefit greatly from reading this book."
-Alice H. Eagly, James Padilla Chair of Arts and Sciences, and Professor of Psychology, Northwestern University, USA
"This book comes as a breath of fresh air in a world currently in the grips of a new breed of divisive political leaders. Inclusive Leadership in Higher Education acts as a timely reminder of the centrality of the moral dimension in what great leadership truly means for those managing in an increasingly complex local and global environment."
-Bruce Macfarlane, Professor of Higher Education, and Director, Centre for Educational Policy, University of Southampton, UK
