{"product_id":"learning-as-a-way-of-leading-isbn-9780787978075","title":"Learning as a Way of Leading","description":"This book offers a systematic look at the connections between learning and leading and the use of learning to inspire and organize for change. It explores two interrelated dimensions of learning leadership: the ways leaders themselves learn about leadership practice, and the way leaders foster the learning of those they work with. The book focuses on a number of important leadership activities and adopts a case study approach to illuminate how leaders themselves learn, how they impart knowledge to others, and how they support others in becoming more effective and enduring learners. \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Authors xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Essence of Learning Leadership 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Learning to Be Open to the Contributions of Others 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Learning Critical Reflection 41\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Learning to Support the Growth of Others 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Learning Collective Leadership 83\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Learning to Analyze Experience 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Learning to Question 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Learning Democracy 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Learning to Sustain Hope in the Face of Struggle 171\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Learning to Create Community 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Appraising and Modeling Learning Leadership 213\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 235\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 243\u003c\/p\u003e  “What I like most about this book is the way Preskill and Brookfield model their own ideas about narrative, listening and being open to the contributions of others. They are good story tellers and have the ability to bring the personality and essence of their leaders to the reader.  \u003cp\u003eIt is both a thought provoking book and a practical guide. It gives models, but urges us to reflect and analyze our own experiences. It is definitely grounded in adult learning principles, and pushes the limits of our current thinking. I will definitely introduce this model, Preskill and Brookfield’s ideas, to my doctoral students this fall.

In this groundbreaking book, Stephen Preskill and Stephen D. Brookfield take an in-depth look at how social justice leaders learn, how they support other people’s learning, and how this deepens their social impact. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the authors explain, the best leaders enjoy a capacity to be taught, to work collaboratively with followers, to listen and learn from people around them, and, in many cases, to lead by being led. Such leaders are developmental leaders, chiefly interested in drawing out the abilities and capacities of their followers. They do this by remaining open to what those followers can impart to them as much as by guiding them to new possibilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLearning As a Way of Leading\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on a number of important leadership tasks such as publicly modeling engagement in learning, viewing learning as a daily professional imperative, and communicating to colleagues the lessons learned. To demonstrate each of these activities, the book includes portraits of nine twentieth-century leaders—Jane Addams, Nelson Mandela, Septima Clark, Ella Baker, Myles Horton, Aldo Leopold, Mary Parker Follett, Paul Robeson, and Cesar Chavez—who exemplify the learning tasks identified in this pioneering resource. Each of the noteworthy leaders supported their co-workers in challenging the status quo, in expanding the boundaries of what can be accomplished together, and in raising standards of what we expect from each other, both intellectually and morally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLearning As a Way of Leading\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource written for anyone who wants to make a difference for the public good by joining with others to bring about positive change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989521088741,"sku":"NP9780787978075","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780787978075.jpg?v=1761784443","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/learning-as-a-way-of-leading-isbn-9780787978075","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
