    Leadership for Transformation: The Fetzer Dialogues Session #1

    Description: The purpose of these dialogue sessions is to provide a space for members of the ILA community to come together to share their unique perspectives on leadership transformation at a personal, group and community/organizational level. At the heart of these dialogues is the desire to build a bridge between our highest aspirations for leadership and the practices, frameworks, structures, perspectives and actions that may enable leaders to meet the daunting social challenges that lie ahead. The backdrop for these dialogues comes from an inquiry process of four retreats at the Fetzer Institute’s Seasons Dialogue Centre which are being convened through a partnership between the James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership at the University of Maryland, the Fetzer Institute and the International Leadership Association. This inquiry aims to extend the understanding of the inner and outer dimensions of transformational leadership and to further the seminal thinking of James MacGregor Burns, a founder of the field of leadership studies. A summary of key insights, stories, and learnings from these retreat dialogues will be offered as a foundation to build upon as well as setting the themes for each of the three days. At the same time we look forward to extending the spirit of fellowship that has been the signature of the dialogues at seasons so that members of the ILA community can contribute their unique experience as well as benefit from the collective wisdom of the whole.

      Personal Transformation What are the Personal Challenges of Transformational Leaders?

    Reappraising Leadership – and its Relationship with Management -- from a Learning Perspective

    Description: In his forthcoming book, In the Leadership Mode, Don Dunoon puts conventional ideas about leaders, authority, and influence on hold, and he looks at leadership as grounded in learning processes and as distinct from management processes. The book proposes a view of leadership emphasizing specific interventions, made in real time, towards change. These ‘leadership-mode’ interventions are distinguished from others in the ‘management mode.’ The proposition is that a learning-based approach to leadership offers benefits in dealing with contentious problems. In this interactive session, the author reviews the concepts and reopens consideration of the leadership-management relationship.

    Tools for Learning-based Leadership Interventions

    Description: Don Dunoon’s forthcoming book, In the Leadership Mode, presents a framework of practices and tools for better handling contentious problems.

      Leadership Challenges and Needs in Lithuania

      Description: The creation of a market economy in Lithuania required a radical transformation of the values entrenched in the socialist economy, including a sense of security, conformity, obedience, self-effacement, and deference to the decisions of higher-level authorities. Recent studies of employees in Lithuanian organizations strongly suggests that this view of Lithuanian employee needs and preferences is obsolete. These studies show that the organizational commitment and loyalty of employees in Lithuania may depend on the use of leadership approaches that assure employees of just treatment and active concern for employee welfare and development.

    Redefining Followership: The Challenges and the Pitfalls

    Description: After years of neglect, the field of followership has begun to receive new critical attention from scholars and practitioners, alike. This session, drawing on two new works, 'The Art of Followership,' edited by Ron Riggio, Ira Chaleff & Jean Lipman-Blumen, and 'Followership,' by Barbara Kellerman, will explore new perspectives on followership, including the ways in which followers can strengthen or undermine leaders and vice versa. This panel, composed of noted scholars, examines the complexities and challenges of effective followership in its various configurations.

      Followership: How Followers are Creating Change and Changing Leaders

      Description: Barbara Kellerman will discuss her most recent book, Followership: How Followers are Creating Change and Changing Leaders. In particular she will focus on three aspects: first, the current state of Leadership Studies regarding the inclusion of followership; second, the distinctions among followers and the implications thereof for leadership and management; and third, the changes taking place worldwide that explain why power and influence are shifting away from leaders and toward followers.

        Barbara Kellerman, Center for Public Leadership, Harvard University

      The Rise of Authentic Followership

      Description: Building on the premise that leadership is an interactive process between leaders and followers, we examine how developing a sense of psychological ownership, trust through vulnerability, and transparency contributes to enhancing follower potential as well as the leader-follower dynamic.

        Rebecca J. Reichard, Kansas State University

      Three Perspectives on Followership

      Description: Three perspectives on followership are presented, each reflecting a different role orientation by the follower. An individual’s role orientation refers to how the follower conceptualizes his/her duties and responsibilities in their organizational position. Interactive, independent and shifting role orientations are discussed as well as likely antecedents and consequences of each.

        Jon P. Howell, New Mexico State University
        María Méndez, Indiana University

      Social Identity Processes and the Empowerment of Followers

      Description: Because almost all groups have leaders, and people derive a sense of who they are, their (social) identity, from the groups to which they belong, people look to their leaders to define and manage their social identity. Effective leadership is thus significantly influenced by followers’ quest for social identity – a quest that empowers followers to influence and configure the behavior of their leaders. This panelist describes the social identity theory of leadership and draws out its implications for ways in which followers’ expectations of their leaders facilitate innovation within identity-limits imposed by followers.
