To live in complex worlds means living in the balance between
moments of routine and moments of uncertainty, between the places
of practice and the places of performance. To reflect on, make
sense of, and lead in complex worlds requires multidisciplinary,
multimodal, multisensory, multirelational, multifaceted, and
multicultural approaches. This compilation captures the best
thinking on the complexity of three key topics?Leader
Development and Education, Leadership Practice, and Leading in a
Globalized World?from a diverse range of scholars,
practitioners, and educators working in the field of Leadership
Studies. In keeping with the mission of the International
Leadership Association, the Building Leadership Bridges series
connects ways of researching, imagining, and experiencing
leadership across cultures, over time, and around the world.

professionals, and anyone with a professional interest in
leadership.
