Real, Intended Change: Business Movements?, Gill Robinson Hickman
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
We are well aware that the economy, environment and organizations in today’s global context are highly interdependent and interconnected. This interdependence contributes to the blurring of lines among business, nonprofit and government entities to the extent that new forms of organization are emerging to tackle socioeconomic and sociopolitical issues that only the political system and social movements confronted in the past.
James MacGregor Burns proclaimed in his groundbreaking book, Leadership, that the effectiveness of leaders “will be tested by the achievement of purpose in the form of real and intended [emphasis added] social change.”1 Burns explained that social …

Walden Faculty and Staff Publications
The 2008–2009 global financial crisis of financial systems negatively affected about 30% of Nigerian banks, leading to profitability issues. The profitability issues led to operational challenges, downsizing, and liquidation of some banks.

This study was grounded in agency theory and used survey and archival data. Survey data were collected from 11 participants employed by commercial banks located in Nigeria, using the Multifaceted Leadership Questionnaire.

Qualities Of Informal Leaders, Factors Influencing The Formation Of Informal Leadership, And The Paradox Of Formal Power, Kyungchool Joe
Qualities Of Informal Leaders, Factors Influencing The Formation Of Informal Leadership, And The Paradox Of Formal Power, Kyungchool Joe
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Informal leaders can have similar effects on firm performance as formal leaders. Although informal leadership can play a critical role in organizational functioning, empirical research concerning this issue is scarce. I conceptualized informal leadership as a continuous variable, and tested the relationship between informal leadership and the following variables. First, this study examined how informal leaders can influence over other members, even though they do not possess formal power. Five indicators, i.e., performance, turnover intention, career satisfaction, work engagement, and optimism were selected to assess the qualities of informal leaders as role models. Second, this study advanced our understanding of …

Authentic Servant-Leadership Exemplified By Early Childhood Educator David Lawrence Jr.: A Case Study, Blanca Correa-Cespedes
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Advocacy and leadership style are essential concepts in education. This qualitative case study was undertaken to demonstrate how Robert K. Greenleaf’s servant-leadership framework could be a useful framework to adopt by educational leaders and child advocates. Servant-leadership identifies the needs of others as a primary goal of leadership. The study contributes to understanding the value of exemplary servant-leadership and advocacy in public education as demonstrated by David Lawrence Jr. The researcher addressed questions regarding how Lawrence embodies servant-leadership traits and explored how a servant-leader has been positively influencing early childhood public educational policy in Florida to benefit all children.

Facilitating A Whole-Life Approach To Career Development: The Role Of Organizational Leadership, Michael L. Litano, Debra A. Major
Facilitating A Whole-Life Approach To Career Development: The Role Of Organizational Leadership, Michael L. Litano, Debra A. Major
Psychology Faculty Publications
This article focuses on the whole-life approach to career development. A review of the ways in which career paths have been conceptualized over time demonstrates that increasing consideration has been given to nonwork factors (i.e., personal life and family life) in defining careers. The whole-life perspective on career development acknowledges that employees are striving for opportunities for professional development as well as individualized work-life balance, which changes over the life course. Although the careers literature has emphasized interorganizational mobility as the primary mechanism for achieving these goals, whole-life career development can also be achieved within a single organization when organizational …

Leadership Competency Builder, Nathan Hiller, Sibel Özgen Novelli, Ajay Rama Ponnapalli
Center for Leadership Current Research
The Leadership Competency Builder© was built on an extensive literature review of top-tier academic research on leadership up to mid-2015, conducted by a team of researchers at the FIU Center for Leadership. This list of 45 leadership competencies was then thematically categorized into 5 “meta-competencies”: Leading Self, Proving Strategic Focus, Connecting with Others, Leading Others, and Delivering Results. This tool can help organizations by making evidence-based research more accessible and applicable. Once critical competency gaps are identified, organizations can then take the necessary steps to develop those competencies to their full potential.
