Leadership and Strategic Management in the Age of Global Change;New Paradigms and Practices

Leadership is becoming the art of those who can truly grasp the spirit of the times. In an increasingly digital world, uncertainty is no longer a temporary condition—it is the new normal. Crises are becoming routine, and cultural boundaries are growing ever more fluid. In this new era, leadership is grounded in a realistic understanding: the ability to make sense of change, to engage with cultural diversity, and to build a sustainable future. This book offers a rich and multi-layered intellectual framework for understanding leadership from the lens of today. Combining conceptual discussions, historical perspectives, digital transformation analyses, and cultural awareness, each chapter approaches strategic thinking as a form of contemporary mental agility. Covering a wide spectrum—from transformational to servant leadership, from crisis management to strategy in the age of artificial intelligence—it serves as both a theoretical and practical guide for aspiring leaders, researchers, and professionals seeking to shape the future. Each chapter contributes not only to its own thematic integrity but also to the book's holistic perspective: a clear and thoughtful guide to why leadership must be reexamined in today's complex world. In our fragile era, leadership is no longer just about control—it is about producing multidimensional responses. The future will not be shaped by those who simply lead, but by those who truly understand.
