Summary:

This handbook focuses on two critical aspects in today’s professional environments: change and resilience. Change has manifested itself as a constant in today’s world, often caused by factors beyond our control. Resilience emanates from our efforts to convert changes from challenges into opportunities. The book addresses three main themes: 1) adapting to a changing work landscape, which explores the historical, societal, technological, and global factors influencing work environments; 2) leadership in times of flux, investigating leadership roles and strategies during organizational change, including communication tactics, ethical considerations, and 3) the transformative impact of leadership; and building resilience in the face of uncertainty, encompassing leadership and self-leadership, humor, collaboration, and adapting ancient traditions to modern challenges. Due to its fascinating range of topics, this handbook will be of interest to a broad range of readers, including researchers, practitioners, and coaches interested in understanding organizational operations and employees’ adaptations to societal changes. Joan Marques is Dean of the School of Business and Professor of Management at Woodbury University, USA. Her research interests pertain to Awakened Leadership, Buddhist Psychology in Management, Business Ethics, and Workplace Spirituality. She has written more than 150 scholarly articles and has (co)-authored more than 40 books.
