The problem, Kathleen Fitzpatrick argues in \u003ci\u003eLeading Generously\u003c\/i\u003e, is a fundamental mismatch between the communal purposes that leaders must serve and the individualistic structures under which they operate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransforming institutions so they can be resilient in the face of uncertain futures will require a similar transformation in leadership practices, turning hierarchies into collective and collaborative spaces designed for the common good. Doing so, however, requires a willingness to reimagine the idea of leadership itself. In this concise, approachable book, Fitzpatrick explores not just the problems with the institutional status quo but also the tools to transform it. Her wide-ranging research brings together key theories of leadership with the experiences of successful leaders whose stories demonstrate innovative possibilities for collaboration in the service of institutional transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on her previous book \u003ci\u003eGenerous Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e, this guide lays out a road map for how leaders can transform their institutions to truly align with their missions and can build more generous communities for the common good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathleen Fitzpatrick\u003c\/b\u003e is the director of Digital Humanities and a professor of English at Michigan State University, where she also leads Mesh Research, a lab focused on the future of scholarly communication.
