Thriving in Complexity: A Framework for Leadership Education

Thriving in Complexity: A Framework for Leadership Education Watkins, Daryl; Earnhardt, Matthew; Pittenger, Linda; Roberts, Robin; Rietsema, Kees; Cosman-Ross, Janet Journal of Leadership Education , v16 n4 p148-163 Oct 2017 Technological advances, globalization, network complexity, and social complexity complicate almost every aspect of our organizations and environments. Leadership educators are challenged with developing leaders who can sense environmental cues, adapt to rapidly changing contexts, and thrive in uncertainty while adhering to their values systems.

Informing Leadership Education by Connecting Curricular Experiences and Leadership Outcomes

Informing Leadership Education by Connecting Curricular Experiences and Leadership Outcomes McKim, Aaron J.; Velez, Jonathan J. Journal of Leadership Education , v16 n1 p81-95 Jan 2017 Linking specific learning experiences to leadership development has the potential to enhance leadership education. In this study, we sought to link student growth in 13 leadership areas to specific learning experiences within a leadership development program. We measured development within the 13 areas by comparing the perceived needs of students before and after engagement in the program. Evidence of connections between leadership development and specific learning experiences emerged as program facilitators documented the leadership areas addressed within the learning experiences utilized in this program. Evidence indicated students experienced the strongest growth in understanding leadership, commitment to serving, enhancing communication, ethical behavior, and valuing diversity. These areas...
