Varied Locales of Youth Leadership: Stories and Insights from the Pacific, Africa, and Asia

Description: Youth make up the majority of the populations of developing countries. This fact alone presents considerable challenges and opportunities for leadership within developing contexts. A conversation with these international presenters will explore visionary leadership by Pacific students, creative leadership by Kenyan youth, and leadership development in health among Filipino youth.

The Pacific Leadership Vision Behind the Stories

Description: The newly published edited book, Living and Leaving a Legacy of Hope: Stories by New Generation Pacific Leaders (eds. Sanga & Chu, 2009) is written largely for Pacific Islands audiences. Yet, other readers have found inspiration from the powerful stories and the vision behind its publication. A co-editor will share the stories behind the stories and discuss the book’s wider applications.

The Vocation and Artistry of Leadership Dialogue #1: Metaphors—the Search for Whole Mind Thinking

Description: What is the primary metaphor, story, or image that speaks to the passion and curiosity you hold about your work as a leader? This question points to the notion that the primary work of leadership is not only in what leaders do or how they do it—but by where they lead from—that is, from the sense of their own inner calling or vocation to lead. To be effective communicators, leaders need to appreciate that language is not only a resource for getting things done, but it is also an instrument for creating shifts in consciousness that transform what is heard, seen, and thought. These dialogue sessions are designed to further explore perspectives developed from the Leadership for Transformation Dialogues, a series of retreats over two years organized by the Fetzer Institute, Academy of Leadership, and ILA to explore the theories and practices that support leadership for transformation.

Metaphors are often ambiguous and offer no easy answers. At the same time they invite whole mind thinking by helping leaders locate their place in the universe, invite alternative possibilities, and establish new attractors for action. In this session we will explore how leadership metaphors can contribute to shifting our worldview from a paradigm based upon a preoccupation on deficits and deficiencies to one that is more organic, creative, and whole.

Leadership for Transformation through Deep Thinking

Description: The presenters will lay the philosophical grounding for Deep Level Thinking, share examples of ways to teach Deep Level Thinking, and provide an opportunity for participants to practice questioning techniques.

Transformation through Reflective, Deep, and Creative Questions

Description: Building on a brief philosophical grounding of Deep Level Thinking, the presenter will distinguish it from other types of cognitive processes. She will discuss the steps or process of critical (deep) thinking, examine the general categories and types of questions that promote deep thinking for transformation, and engage participants in practicing questioning techniques.

JoAnn Barbour, Texas Woman's University

Churning through Emotions to Reach Deep Thinking

Description: When humans have strong negative feelings, they do not think deeply or even rationally — making positive transformation impossible.

Transformational Leadership Development in Cross-Sector Community Collaboratives

Description: Social problems are ineffectively addressed in silos; they demand collaborative leadership for social change. This session will include explorations of transformational leadership from two cross-sector community collaboratives, both focusing on results-oriented, group engagement approaches.

Collaborative Leadership for Results: A Path Towards Transformation

Description: This presentation will analyze the Leadership in Action Program (LAP) to demonstrate the success of this framework.

The Vocation and Artistry of Leadership Dialogue #2: Stories—the Search for Belonging

Description: What is the primary metaphor, story, or image that speaks to the passion and curiosity you hold about your work as a leader? This question points to the notion that the primary work of leadership is not only in what leaders do or how they do it—but by where they lead from—that is, from the sense of their own inner calling or vocation to lead. To be effective communicators, leaders need to appreciate that language is not only a resource for getting things done, but it is also an instrument for creating shifts in consciousness that transform what is heard, seen, and thought. These dialogue sessions are designed to further explore perspectives developed from The Leadership for Transformation Dialogues , a series of retreats over two years organized by the Fetzer Institute, Academy of Leadership, and ILA to explore the theories and practices that support leadership for transformation.

This session will explore how story-telling and story listening help leaders think and see in new and more complex ways. It will demonstrate how the language of story helps us connect the intelligence of the mind with the longings of the heart and create new neural pathways helping us remember who we are, where we come from, and that to which we most deeply belong.

Poetry is an instruction in the subtle language of timing, rhythm, pacing, energy, flow, and tempo, creating a holding space for deeper insights to emerge. We will inquire into how poems can help leaders slow their thinking, invite reflection, and awaken a more subtle way of thinking and seeing. We will also explore how this prepares them for leaps in learning that can happen in any moment in order to navigate a larger unknown.

2009 Jablin Dissertation Award Winner

Description: The Effects of Favored Status and Identification with Victim on Perceptions of and Reactions to Leader Toxicity

This dissertation examined the roles of leader member exchange (LMX) relationships and social identity on perceptions of leader toxicity and intentions to challenge a leader who exhibits toxic behavior. Participants (n = 298) were assigned to a favored or LMX out-group observer condition. LMX status influenced perceptions and intentions to challenge. LMX out-group participants perceived the leader as toxic more so than participants with favored status and were more likely to challenge the leader. Participants perceived the leader to be toxic to a greater extent when they identified with the victim. Target salience was not a significant factor in observers’ willingness to challenge. Organizational implications are discussed.
