Abstract
Re-Imagining Leadership with Neuro-Futurism: An A-Z Towards Collective Liberation (Kai Syng Tan, Palgrave Macmillan 2024) is a rip-roaring manifesto that introduces ‘neuro-futurism’ as a multi-faceted toolkit, and re-claims ways to think about and do ‘leadership’ as a diversified, beyond-colonial, neuro-queered and (co-)creative change- and future-making practice. Colliding mobilities, neuro-queering, the arts and culture, critical leadership studies, social justice, creative pedagogy, futurity and Daoist cosmology for the first time, the short, sweet and spicy hand-book celebrates the Dangerous, Demeaning and Dirty labour of Deviant/Defiant culture-workers often side-lined in (leadership) scholarship across 26 break-neck, fist-stomping chapters and 40 original images and maps. Instead of a trait or talent centred around individuals, hierarchy, organisations, positions, genes or luck, this book admonishes white-supremacist-cis-het-neuro-normative-capitalist-patriarchal forms of power and knowledge. Punchy, punching up and pulling no punches, and riffing on how ‘leadership’ originally refers to travelling, endurance and guidance, Re-Imagining Leadership with Neurop-Futurism is a call to arms, feet, sole-soul, to co-create tables/houses/worlds that profit (neuro-)divergent People, Planet, Poetry and Play. The deadline is 2050, so we’re running out of time. Are you ready for an extra-ordinary adventure? My book will be part of the Studies in Mobilities, Literature, and Culture series (editors: Aguiar Marian, Mathieson Charlotte, Pearce Lynne), the inaugural publication for which I wrote a chapter Running (in) Your City, which has been praised as ‘exciting’).
