To start a conflict, it often does not require much leadership, just obsession, power and a crazy idea in the head. But, to survive and win in an aggressive war against a superior enemy without leadership at all levels is impossible. This book is research in how this most important resource that affects the willpower of ordinary people and their willingness to collaborate in taking responsibility for the life of their country and resisting evil, develops and lives in Ukraine. I was struck with how instrumental and full is the resultative picture I am living in. -- Mihail Krikunov, Kyiv Business School, Ukraine Leadership is a relationship. This is never clearer or more tested than when not only your own life or death is at stake, but that of your friends and family. If there is hope to stand against oppression and greedy aggression, it will be effective leaders who embody emotional and social intelligence. They create the compassion that is the glue of a humane society. They forge the swarms not pans, the shared purpose not goals, or emergent, dramatic leadership. This book is about the current tragedy in the Ukraine but it is also the story of every people with the desire to be free and give their children a positive future. -- Richard Boyatzis, Case Western Reserve University, USA A unique collection of recent research studies on Ukrainian communities, including evangelical Christians, other groups, and organizations, in war-torn Ukraine. This book significantly contributes to the growing need for reliable, valid, and practically useful information about leadership during wartime, offering unexpected and revealing findings alongside serious conclusions and implications for humanity at large. -- Roger Gill, Durham University, UK We only really know what good leadership looks like in situations of chaos and uncertainty. This -- in-depth analysis of how leadership has developed in Ukraine since 2014, with insights from wide-ranging interviews, especially with the young, and on what leadership is needed now, and in rebuilding afterwards, is fascinating. Major General (retired) Tim Cross CBE The tragic military invasion into Ukraine, a sovereign state, is one of those historic events that will not merely affect the world, it will change it. The scale of impact on peoples lives, communities, nation states, and the world order itself is felt by all. In addition to sharing personal stories and insights on leadership, authors Negrov and Riggio ensure that the right leadership questions are being asked and evidence-based research is being used. The authors take us on a journey through the complex landscape of Ukrainian leadership, drawing on voices from those who have led and those who have been led during one of the most challenging times in modern history. As we face violent and uncertain times ahead, read Leadership in Ukraine to acquire a deeper understanding that leadership transcends positions and is rooted in compassion and commitment to the well-being for all of humanity. -- Cynthia Cherrey, President, International Leadership Association
