Academic–Practitioner Relationships
While executives are keen to harness organizational knowledge and improve business performance, the topic of how academics can produce rigorous and relevant theory in working relationships with practitioners is a much contested topic. Many aspects of this knowledge co-creation can create tensions, and the ways in which research is conducted and published can affect practitioner acceptance, as well as its consequent uptake and use in different contexts.

So it is no surprise then, that despite putting in place a DEI strategy and multiple initiatives, so many organizations get stuck. Beyond Discomfort reveals a new model of inclusive leadership, which describes four belief systems and associated emotional responses to DEI. Discover: real life stories and expert ...

The new edition shows how leadership has to change over time, describes how the most highly rated leaders achieve their goals a...

The storied landscapes of Ireland are dotted with holy wells—hallowed springs, pools, ponds, and lakes credited with curative powers and often associated with Catholic and indigenous saints. While many of these sites have been recently lost to development, others are visited daily for devotions and remain the focus of annual community gatherings. Encouraging both their use and protection, Holy Wells of Ireland delves into these irreplaceable resources of spiritual, archaeological, and historical significance. Reserves of localized spiritual practices, holy wells are also ecosystems in themselves and provide habitats for rare and culturally meaningful flora and fauna. The shift toward a "po...
