New Book for Pre-order: Narrative Leadership Development - Storytelling for Navigating Challenging Times

Book Cover

We are thrilled to announce that our new book, Andrew Rixon and our Managing Dicrector at IncluSmart Linmin Zhang co-edited - Narrative Leadership Development: Storytelling for Navigating Challenging Times - will be released in August 2026! After two years of collaboration with 30 contributors through a peer-reviewed process, we are immensely grateful for this learning journey and honored to work alongside experts in the field of #NarrativeLeadershipDevelopment. A special thank you to #Routledge for accepting our manuscript and expertly guiding it through the final steps to publication!

This book brings together educators, researchers, coaches, and practitioners, exploring the #darkside of leadership #storytelling, the importance of inclusiveness, and innovative narrative practices. It introduces critical concepts such as narrative betrayal, narrative humility, and narrative reflexivity, examining storytelling not only as a source of inspiration and belonging but also as a site of ethical tension, power, and responsibility. This book aims to deepen readers' understanding of the significance of storytelling in leadership development contexts while providing practical tools and strategies for #LeadershipDevelopment.

Words cannot fully express our joy and gratitude! We invite you to pre-order a copy and enjoy the read.
