Joseph W. Handley, Jr., Polycentric Mission Leadership: Toward a New Theoretical Model for Global Leadership

Abstract

Joseph W. Handley Jr.’s Polycentric Mission Leadership: Toward a New Theoretical Model for Global Leadership is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of leadership in a rapidly evolving, interconnected world. Handley, a seasoned leader in mission contexts and the current president of A3 (formerly Asian Access), draws from his rich practical experience and academic research to propose a polycentric leadership model. This approach challenges traditional hierarchical structures, advocating instead for collaborative, decentralized, and contextually adaptive leadership styles. Handley’s work seeks to equip readers with a fresh framework that resonates with the complexities of global mission leadership today.
