Developing Culturally Relevant Leadership Learning
Author: Kathy L. GuthriePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119335884
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The notion of culturally relevant leadership learning builds upon the ideas of developing leader identity and leadership capacity of diverse students. Focusing on four areas of leadership learning: education, training, development, and engagement, this volume presents a model of culturally relevant leadership learning in order to develop all student leaders. It proposes infusing the leadership development process with an understanding of how systemic oppression influences educational contexts and with an engagement in and across cultural differences. Our contexts and differences influence knowledge of self, others, cultural contexts and systems, and ultimately students’ knowledge and enactment of leadership.To this end, culturally relevant leadership development programs equip all students with the knowledge and skills to navigate diverse settings and lead culturally diverse groups and teams. Transforming the framework for how leadership programs are designed will result in contextually relevant leadership development programs and an increase in the breadth and depth of a diverse leadership cadre for our society. The Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Student Leadership explores leadership concepts and pedagogical topics of interest to high school and college leadership educators. Issues are grounded in scholarship and feature practical applications and best practices in youth and adult leadership education.

Lead from the Outside
Author: Stacey AbramsPublisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1250191300
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Lead from the Outside is a necessary guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider by Stacey Abrams, one of the most prominent black female politicians in the U.S. Leadership is hard. Convincing others—and often yourself—that you possess the answers and are capable of world-affecting change requires confidence, insight, and sheer bravado. Stacey Abrams's Lead from the Outside is the handbook for outsiders, written with the awareness of the experiences and challenges that hinder anyone who exists beyond the structure of traditional white male power—women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make a difference. In Lead from the Outside, Stacey Abrams argues that knowing your own passion is the key to success, regardless of the scale or target. From launching a company, to starting a day care center for homeless teen moms, to running a successful political campaign, finding what you want to fight for is as critical as knowing how to turn thought into action. Stacey uses her experience and hard-won insights to break down how ambition, fear, money, and failure function in leadership, while offering personal stories that illuminate practical strategies. Stacey includes exercises to help you hone your skills and realize your aspirations. She discusses candidly what she has learned over the course of her impressive career: that differences in race, gender, and class are surmountable. With direction and dedication, being in the minority actually provides unique and vital strength, which we can employ to rise to the top and make real change.
Leadership Amid Controversy: Presidential Perspectives
Author: Judith Block McLaughlinPublisher: Jossey-Bass
ISBN: 9780787978600
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
At one university, students select as their commencement speaker a man on death row for murdering a police officer. At another, the student newspaper editors tell the president that intend to publish an advertisment claiming that the Holocaust did not exist. Charges of racial discrimination and retribution in the university athletic department arrive on the desk of a brand-new president of another school. Student activists occupy a building to protest another college's contract with a food service provider because of its corporate ties to the private prison industry. At Miami University, the debate over the school nickname provides a retrospective look at the topic uniting all these situations: leadership amid controversy. Presidential duties are not all fun and games, and the visible nature of the presidential position is not always so desirable. This volume examines the position of the president during times of great controversy at an institution. Five presidents describe highly charged events on their campuses when constituents disagreed sharply and all were certain that righteousness and virtue were theirs alone. For the president, there was no way to avoid taking a position and no decision that would please, or even appease, all. The presidents describe the episodes on the campuses, explain the decisions they made, and assess their actions retrospectively. This is the 128th issue of the Jossey-Bass quarterly series New Directions for Higher Education.
