"For educational progress, university leaders must successfully promote inclusion along with diversity. The essays published in Inclusive Leadership in Higher Education reveal the struggles of university leaders to achieve inclusive and effective modes of leadership. All who work to bring universities forward to greater inclusiveness can benefit greatly from reading this book."-Alice H. Eagly, James Padilla Chair of Arts and Sciences, and Professor of Psychology, Northwestern University, USA"This book comes as a breath of fresh air in a world currently in the grips of a new breed of divisive political leaders. Inclusive Leadership in Higher Education acts as a timely reminder of the centrality of the moral dimension in what great leadership truly means for those managing in an increasingly complex local and global environment." -Bruce Macfarlane, Professor of Higher Education, and Director, Centre for Educational Policy, University of Southampton, UK
