New directions for student leadership最新文献

Despite the growth of servant leadership research, current understandings of how to teach servant leadership are limited. Further, current approaches often reinforce heroic notions of servant leadership that do not adequately prepare learners to engage in leadership within their own lives. Against this backdrop, we integrate critical pedagogical approaches within servant leadership education. To do so, we outline several applications that focus on leader development, leadership development, and community leadership development as well as several critical considerations for educators.

What does liberation look like in leadership learning and education? This article offers examples for (re)imagining leadership education in program design, coordination, and assessment by centering the leadership for liberation framework and other liberatory approaches. The authors offer examples of how these frameworks serve as an entry point for college student liberatory leadership learning.

The relational leadership model and the five practices of exemplary leadership are widely used models that both emphasize a relational approach to leadership and center the collegiate context as a transformative environment for practicing and developing leadership. This article highlights two different applications of these models and provides important considerations for designing relational leadership curricula and programs for college students.

The social change model is one of the most used leadership models at colleges and universities around the globe. With this article, we explore the social change model (SCM) as a framework for socially responsible leadership program design. We discuss the SCM, its history, and the evolution of this approach. Furthermore, we highlight critiques of the SCM, which are important considerations in program design. The Aspen Young Leaders Fellowship is featured in this article and serves as an example of a holistic program designed for impact grounded in socially responsible leadership. We conclude with a summary of relevant research as well as resources to learn more about the SCM and socially responsible leadership.

This article focuses on integrating topics of emotional intelligence in curricular and co-curricular collegiate leadership education. The authors spotlight one institution's use of emotionally intelligent leadership as a framework across a variety of leadership programs, courses, and trainings. Critiques, considerations, and resources to inform leadership education efforts that focus on emotional intelligence are included.

The principles of equity and justice do not often receive the attention they deserve in leadership practice. In order to ensure a shared prosperous future for all, leadership education must place the ethical values of equity and justice at the center of leadership processes and practices. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework includes principles of equity and justice and is a useful pedagogical tool for student leadership education. Australian Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander women leadership practice is exemplified in this article to demonstrate ethical leadership, in alignment with the SDGs.

How leadership is taught and applied must take into account the complexities of socio-ecological systems, the opportunities found in diverse viewpoints, the ability to parse conflict and power differences, and the ability to resource expert knowledge for more sustainable futures. We discuss and chart resources linked to leadership concepts critical to constructively harness business engagement with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), identifying eight that are primary to active learning and application: systems resilience, strength through interdependence, scaling adaption, innovation for transformation, context and collectiveness, diversity of learning, negotiating power, and elevating the normative nature of the Global Goals.

With the world growing in complexity and interconnectedness, the demand for leaders equipped to solve compound problems will only increase. Higher education is called upon to develop leadership in students and needs to engage relevant tools and techniques to prepare students for the tasks ahead. Democratic engagement-from voter education and engagement to critical service learning-and leadership development are powerful vehicles for student development. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are effective and compelling tools to support student learning in academic and cocurricular arenas as part of democratic engagement and leadership education and development. The authors will explore some of the implications and considerations in advancing these initiatives and using these means to advance our local and global communities.
