Engaged, But Not Heroic, Academic Leadership, John B. Bennett

Four Dimensions Of Leadership In The Problem-Solving Of Education Deans, Antonia Donofrio
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
This study links personal attributes of deans of schools and colleges of education to the problem solving contexts in which they make decisions that affect the programs they serve. We describe the mix of intellect, emotion, social acumen, and moral attributes that deans draw upon when they respond to vignettes that capture the multifaceted nature of problem solving in their positions.

Self-Help Group Participation And Empowerment In Hong Kong, Bong-Ho Mok
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper reports on the first comprehensive study of self-help groups in Hong Kong. Initial findings from the quantative and qualitative data suggest that self-help group participation has an impact on intrapersonal, interpersonal and community/political empowerment. Based on existing data, this study has resulted in the development of a hypothetical model encompassing the interrelationships among self-help group participation, social support, social learning, leadership and empowerment, for testing in future research.

Self-Perceived Leadership Vs. Group Perception, James "Trey" W Fouché
The Corinthian
Leadership is a necessary component for the success of any group. Without this difficult to define skill, organizations flounder and individuals lack direction.

Anecdotal evidence portrayed individuals who never considered themselves a leader are, in fact, perceived as leaders by their peers. However, also report the antithesis of this statement. Some individuals considered themselves to be the leader of a …
