Routledge Leading for Change - Race, Intimacy and Leadership

Leading for Change offers a fresh theoretical foundation for rethinking leadership within higher education settings globally. Author Jonathan Jansen explores how the concept of intimacy and nearness can drive meaningful transformation in divided university environments. By examining emotional, spiritual, psychic, intellectual, and physical closeness, this book provides a new lens for understanding how leaders can influence positive change in young people. This work introduces the idea of sensory leadership, an approach that goes beyond traditional methods to help transform long-divided institutions. Through the use of richly textured narratives, the text provides deep insights into how progressive leadership can be practiced in complex academic landscapes. It is an essential read for those looking to understand the connection between human closeness and effective institutional change in the modern educational sector.
