Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges not only educate students in academic discipline knowledge, but also help them develop skills to meaningfully lead and participate in our complex democracy as socially responsible citizens. All campuses have formal and informal opportunities to engage students in roles that challenge and develop students' socially responsible leadership skills including commitment, common purpose, and collaboration. However, individual and organizational elements such as differences in perspectives and hostile climates can quell leadership and educational participation, inhibit critical student development skills, and result in disempowerment, especially for those students from underserved communities. Given this, a critical question is how can colleges foster conditions that promote the formation of complex and pluralistic democratic and socially responsible leadership skills within the context of contemporary societal political, ideological, and social polarization that are replicated and enacted on today's campuses? To address this question, this qualitative inquiry examined how diverse student leaders navigated conflict and controversy and their resulting dilemmas with their peers, and how such experiences affected their democratic learning and leadership development. Study participants identified both the value of constructive conflict that leads to more advanced moral reasoning and equitable practices, and the harm of destructive controversy that further polarizes and entrenches opposition. The latter experiences resulted in deleterious effects on participants' interpersonal and psychological wellbeing, whereas the former experiences, while challenging, served as an opportunity for student leaders to develop and practice resilient and interculturally insightful skills of perspective taking, emotional intelligence, and advanced conflict resolution strategies that served to empower individual and group commitment toward common purpose and shared goals. Emerging from the data is a new definitional model of socially responsible leadership (SRL) that is both a process and product of a blended ethic of care and ethic of justice approach in realizing democratic attitudes, knowledge, skills, and outcomes. Specifically, the four interconnected and dynamic dimensions of the SRL conceptual model are self-efficacy, group accountability, shared power, and empathetic conflict resolution. Implications and meaningful strategies for colleges to help facilitate growth through conflict across individual, group, and organizational domains are discussed.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative case study was to investigate how participation in a leadership training program facilitated the development and practice of the eight core values of the social change model of leadership development in college students. The study included three directors and 15 students from different ethnicities, and both genders from a small private Christian university in the Deep South. Research questions focused on student perceptions of how they had developed the skills outlined in the social change model of leadership and how others perceived the students practiced these skills in roles as leaders. Students completed the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale-Revision 2 (SRLS-R2) to reveal the depth at which they perceived they embodied socially responsible leadership. Interviews allowed study participants to elaborate on the leadership activities at the college and expound upon the eight core values of the Social Change Model (SCM). Survey results revealed that students perceived they possessed five out of eight of the core values with a mean rating of 4 or higher. Commitment (4.75) received the highest mean score. Change received the lowest mean score (3.56). Students stated that the project-based nature of the program, retreat opportunities, team-building activities, and working with people who used different thought processes assisted with their growth as a socially responsible leader. Director interviews revealed how students from the leadership training program demonstrated socially responsible leadership in the organizations where they had served as leaders.

Book excerpt: AN EXAMINATION OF INVOLVEMENT AND SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OF BLACK STUDENTS ATTENDING PREDOMINANTLY WHITE INSTITUTIONS Bridget R. McCurtis Under the supervision of Professor Jerlando F.L. Jackson At the University of Wisconsin-Madison 2012 ABSTRACT There has been an identifiable decline in moral decision making and socially responsible behaviors in society based on recent national events such as Enron and the Bernie Madoff scandal (Arvedlund, 2009; Doran, 2004). This study attempts to address this leadership crisis by examining college student involvement and leadership experiences that may uniquely position colleges to facilitate the development of socially responsible leaders. Higher education professionals play a critical role in educating productive citizens and have the opportunity to integrate moral reasoning and ethical decision making into programming (St. John, 2009). Given that involvement in college and leadership development have long been associated with positive outcomes for both individual and society, this population serves as a promising starting point to address this national challenge (Astin, 1993; Kuh, Kinzie, Schuh, & Whitt, 2005; Pascarella & Terenzini, 20050. Moreover, this examination sought to better understand the Black student experience at PWIs as they had been identified in at least one previous empirical study as having demonstrated social change values (Dugan & Komives, 2007). This study utilized both the socially responsible leadership scale and collective racial esteem scale to conduct a descriptive and correlational examination of social change values as defined in the Social Change Model of Leadership and social change behaviors variables from the Multi-institutional Study of Leadership. Findings suggest that Black students strongly exhibit socially responsible leadership, are involved in on and off campus activities and participate in community service more than any other activity. Further, this study reveals that collective racial esteem measures are highly correlated with social change behaviors. These significant findings illuminate our understanding of Black student involvement and socially responsible leadership, but also provide some critical opportunities for higher education practitioners, researchers and students to further explore ethical and moral decision making, expand definitions of leadership and implement intentional leadership efforts.

Download or read book Changes in Leadership Self efficacy Leader Identity Capacity for Socially Responsible Leadership and Curiosity Due to a Structured Leader Development Program written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the study of leadership evolves, it is vital to consider adult development; specifically student leadership development. This study examined changes over time in undergraduate students' leadership self-efficacy, leader identity, and socially responsible leadership capacity. As a component of motivation to learn, curiosity breadth and depth were included to explore how the "positive approach to new information" relates to individual leader growth. This research helps explain how leader identity fits into a student leader development model as an outcome and as a contributor to future leader identity growth and engagement with leadership tasks. A combination of longitudinal and cross-sectional designs was used to study student leadership capacity development due to participation in a structured semester-long leadership development program that was based on student-specific theoretical models. Participants in the program and a control group of similarly-aged students from a mid-sized comprehensive university completed surveys at three time points over a six-month period. Past participants in the program and a senior-level control group completed a single survey approximately two years following the past participants' completion of the leadership development program. The extent to which students describe themselves as leaders and the certainty with which they perceive themselves as leaders contributed the most to their growth over time. Students who enter college with a higher level of leader identity may have a tendency to grow at a higher rate in that identity throughout college. Citizenship and depth of curiosity may play a role in leader identity development. Students higher in consciousness of self, citizenship, and breadth of curiosity are more inclined to engage in personal leadership tasks. Recent and past program participants showed greater differences in levels of leadership self-efficacy, leadership self-identity, and leader identity stage than the control groups. Results partially supported existing research that leadership development programs produce growth in students' leadership capacity and leadership self-efficacy. In addition, results indicated that early development of leader identity is an integral part of the overall picture of leadership capacity, adding specificity to the body of literature related to college student leadership development. New paths of inquiry were provided for practitioners and scholars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College Student Leadership Development introduces the idea that we all play a part in producing leadership and that learning how to participate in the process of leadership is something that all college students need to learn as part of their college academic experience. Rather than approaching leadership from the traditional model emphasizing specific skill sets, this book acquaints students with how to learn leadership using the ReAChS model of leadership development (Reflection, Assessment, Challenge, Support). It then encourages students to directly engage their own experiences to hone their leader identity and understanding of leadership as well as improve their leadership knowledge and skills. Step-by-step exercises lead students in reflecting on their experiences, assessing themselves, choosing challenges, creating support networks, and finally capturing and communicating to others what they have learned. Throughout, examples of student leaders’ experiences provide readers with powerful examples of others’ successes and struggles in leadership alongside the latest psychological research on learning and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editors of this text contend that there is a lack of leadership in existence for deciding global and national problems. Colleges and universities are generally expected to produce national, political, scientific and corporate leaders. Most institutions maintain that their graduates are leaders, yet few institutions explicitly address the isssue of leadership and social responsibility in a systematic and comprehensive way. Often academic approaches consist of unfocused courses of leadership, looking at leadership styles and managerial decision-making within a business context. Basing their work on research, the editors discuss what they consider to be an important programme for the development of leadership and social responsibility in schools and institutions of higher education.
Download or read book Validation of the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale with Leadership Educators written by Michael Severy and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Socially Responsible Leadership Scale (SRLS) was designed by Tyree to measure leadership in college students as espoused by the Social Change Model of Leadership Development (SCM). The purpose of this quantitative study was to validate the SRLS for use with a non-college student population, specifically leadership educators. A leadership educator is a faculty or staff member who seeks to develop or improve the knowledge and practice of others by providing high quality leadership education informed by credible leadership literature and practice. Respondents included leadership educators from universities which participated in either of the last two iterations of an international study focused on college student leadership. Five hundred thirty potential respondents were identified from 115 universities. Of the 530, 199 engaged the survey, with 173 as viable for data analysis. The respondents identified as 113 females and 60 males; four Asian, twenty-one black or African American; one Native Hawaiian or other Pacific islander, and 149 white. The respondents were highly educated, as all but fifteen attained a master's degree or higher. Of the other fifteen, two completed high school and thirteen competed their bachelor's degree. One hundred and fifty-nine self-identified as leadership educators. Preliminary screening was conducted to confirm and address any issues with the following: accuracy of data, missing data, univariate outliers and normality, and multivariate outliers and normality. Reliability was examined using Cronbach's alpha. The eight SCM constructs yielded Cronbach's alphas above .70 indicating respectable alpha scores. Four in particular had very good Cronbach's alphas greater than .80. Validity was examined using Principal Component Analysis. The results support the reliability and construct validity of the SRLS with leadership educators. This scale will be referred to as the SRLS-LE. Implications for leadership educators and recommendations for future research are also discussed. Ultimately, this study will begin the use and measurement of the Social Change Model of Leadership Development beyond college student populations and inform professional development agendas for leadership educators.
