Leadership in Spaces and Places. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Leadership in Spaces and Places

Work that used be tied to offices, cubicles and desks is undergoing a major transformation in terms of where, when and how it is carried out. Space and materiality of workplaces have long been taken for granted amongst organization studies scholars. But the changing definition of work and workspace has, in recent years, inspired a growing number of scholars to reconsider organizational theories and practices.

By combining new research on leadership and workspaces, Leadership in Spaces and Places argues for a radical reconceptualization of leadership. Leadership is not only defined by leaders themselves, but is also affected by the built environment.

With contributions from both scholars and practitioners alike, the authors discuss leadership in six different contexts:

• workspaces in change
• open office spaces
• virtual workspaces
• service spaces
• cultural spaces
• institutional spaces.

The book is aimed at two audiences: leadership, organization and management scholars interested in cutting-edge leadership research; and managers, architects and workplace designers who want to update their knowledge on how workplace design contributes to organizational purposes and leadership.
