Redefining Leadership, Management, and Organization: A Call for Innovation and Inclusion Across Diverse Domains "Leadership is not merely about positions or titles; it's a perpetual commitment to innovation and inclusion, transcending traditional norms and shaping a future that celebrates diversity across all domains." - Dr. Jennifer R. Bishop In recent years, a discernible shift in the discourse surrounding leadership, management, and organizational practices has prompted a critical reevaluation of established norms. This transformative trend extends across diverse domains, from sports leadership to executive diversity in Fortune 500 companies and collaborative initiatives addressing social issues. These scholarly inquiries challenge traditional perspectives, urging a reconsideration of conventional approaches to leading, managing, and organizing. In sports leadership, the conventional emphasis on individualistic prowess attributed to franchise owners, team executives, and coaches has come under scrutiny. The paper "What constitutes a great leader in sports?" challenges this narrative, highlighting the organic emergence of effective sports leadership practices through the efforts of quality upper management. It underscores the importance of holistic, fluid, agile, mindful, strategic, and service-based leadership indicators adopted by upper management, transcending the narrow focus on wins and losses. This paper prompts reflection not only on preconceived notions of sports leadership but also on broader paradigms in leading, managing, and organizing. Turning our attention to executive diversity, the underrepresentation of African Americans in C-Suite positions within Fortune 500 companies stands as a glaring incongruity, Diversity, Equity, and inclusion programs, a disproportionate limitation persists, necessitating a critical examination of conventional paradigms. A comprehensive study, rooted in qualitative methodology, explores the factors influencing the advancement of African Americans into executive-level positions. Trust emerges as a key differentiator, challenging traditional notions of meritocracy and urging a paradigm shift in conventional approaches to leading, managing, and organizing for true diversity and inclusion. The exploration of collaborative initiatives addressing social issues further amplifies the need for rethinking conventional ways of leading, managing, and organizing. While collaboration has gained momentum, a significant gap in understanding persists, particularly in the context of the relationship between nonprofit organizations and the business sector within urban food deserts. The study delves into the multifaceted dynamics of organizational collaboration, challenging prevailing notions and urging a reconsideration of conventional paradigms in community development. Finally, the examination of white delusion within organizations reveals a critical focal point in the discourse on racial disparities. The Unmasking White Delusion: DEI model, developed within the framework of critical race theory, offers a comprehensive approach to address and dismantle white delusion. By systematically reviewing literature and aligning with the three phases of the model—denial, evaluation, and implementation—organizations are equipped to proactively confront and mitigate the adverse effects of white delusion, redefining conventional ways of leading, managing, and organizing for true diversity and inclusion. These diverse papers collectively call for a reexamination of conventional paradigms across various domains, advocating for a more inclusive, equitable, and innovative approach to leadership, management, and organization.
