Today's leaders must not only respond to transformation--they must anticipate it, navigating uncertainty with vision, empathy, and resilience. This challenge transcends traditional boundaries: leadership is no longer the exclusive domain of large corporations but a strategic necessity for small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses, startups, and sports organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores leadership as an evolving social and organisational process rather than a fixed set of traits or techniques. Drawing from academic theory and real-world case studies, it analyses how different leadership models--transformational, situational, and sustainable, among others--interact with motivation, performance, and innovation. It highlights emerging contexts often neglected in leadership literature: amateur sports, where collective values meet competitive logic; motorsport, where technology, ethics, and performance intertwine; and startups, where leadership must balance agility, inclusion, and long-term vision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn doing so, it draws \"lessons learned\" from these distinctive contexts to offer practical insights and transferable approaches that can inform leadership development across a wide range of organisational settings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eManaging Innovation in Business Strategy, Marketing and Finance\u003c\/em\u003e has a goal of contributing to understanding the role of business innovation from the perspective of three key functional areas: strategy, marketing and finance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Di Prima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1806864940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781806864942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Christian Di Prima","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453247402239,"sku":"9781806864942","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e655957a-7e4e-4a0e-9874-dca6bd1cfada.jpg?v=1777299072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leadership-in-unconventional-contexts-christian-di-prima-9781806864942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
