Developing Whole Leaders For The Whole World, Robert Mckenna, Kira K. Wenzel

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

How do we holistically develop leaders with the capacity and character to tackle the most pressing moral challenges in our modern world? While it may be easier to focus on one thing such as strengths, experiences, or mentors, the reality is that developing a leader’s capacity to lead well includes many interrelated components. Based on our experience and research, the six components of the Holistic Leadership Development Model (HLDM) are presented, along with strategies for creating rich conversations that connect the components in a meaningful way for leaders. The six areas are (1) experiences and learning; (2) strategic networking; (3) …

Ethics And Spirituality Of Sustainability: What Can We All Do?, Satinder K. Dhiman

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

This article approaches the topic of sustainability in a broad, interdisciplinary fashion − in the manner of our total footprint on the planet, not just our carbon footprint. It proposes to bring together the two allied areas of sustainability and spirituality in a dialectical manner, with ethics as a balancing force and spirituality playing the role of the proverbial invisible hand guiding our quest for sustainability. It takes the view that, in essence, spirituality and sustainability are vitally interlinked. When the spiritual dimension of our being is underdeveloped, we turn into pleasure-seeking automatons, plundering the planet in a mindless race …

Applying Kouzes & Posner's Leadership Concepts To Poverty Alleviation Work In The Developing World, John Oliphant

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Many people in the developing world struggle with significant poverty. People who feel trapped in a cycle of poverty often describe feeling inferior and powerless. Those who are relatively wealthy and in leadership roles may suffer from a different pathology that some have described as a “god- complex” in which a sense of superiority may develop, leading to the belief that they have been chosen to decide what is best for the poor. As the leaders of organizations that do poverty alleviation work in the developing world contemplate what approach to take when formulating their leadership style, they would do …

Servant Leadership And Its Relationships With Core Self-Evaluation And Job Satisfaction, Len Tischler, Robert Giambatista, Robert Mckeage, David Mccormick

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Servant leadership is a growing topic in the leadership literature. Our study considered servant leadership’s relationship to two outcomes, core self-evaluation and job satisfaction. The former is particularly noteworthy because if servant leadership predicts core self-evaluation this would confirm that servant leadership affects important changes in employees as people, a central tenet of servant leadership. In addition, if servant leadership predicts core self-evaluation, this could add to the question of whether core self-evaluation is a non-changeable personality trait or is potentially malleable. We conducted a field study of three firms and found that servant leadership predicts both core self-evaluation and …

Surgeon Speaks

Jefferson Surgical Solutions

Historically, medical care has been delivered in vertical siloes. Healthcare reform and the focus on outcomes is finally driving real change to how we deliver care.

The future will bring a horizontal approach. The oncology model has demonstrated the effectiveness of bringing together the right expertise to form “Tumor Boards.”

The time has come for “Cardiology Boards.” We need to join forces across Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Vascular Surgery and Vascular Medicine.

To support the best possible outcomes, we need everyone rowing in the same boat. The Jefferson- Abington merger opens up exciting new opportunities to unify the way we diagnose …
