Abstract:

<p> One of the greatest challenges our society faces is how to transform a fundamentally inequitable educational system. The societal inequities marginalized groups witness and experience on a daily basis are magnified by hegemonic educational policies and practices which produce, reproduce, and reinforce the concepts of white privilege. Developing transformative leaders is crucial given educational leadership is considered second only to teaching as an influence on students' learning. </p><p> This qualitative study examined the personal and professional growth of eight administrators and de

It explored the apparent cognitive transformational experience of nine participants over a period of four weeks after the implementation of an intervention called Mindfulness into Action. The informal intervention was used with the Kichwa community in the Amazon rainforest and three additional formal interventions were conducted in the United States, Ecuador, and Norway over six years, in each case supported by higher education institutions.

Abstract:

<p> Global nonprofits face not only the challenges of funding but now need to adapt to the challenges of a complex and changing environment. Part of this changing environment is the need to network with other organizations to enhance their impact. As these networked nonprofits attempt to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century they most likely will need solutions that contain complex roles, procedures, and structures. Organizations need to learn to readily adapt to these challenges. A learning organization is one which has the ability to transform itself by collectively learning how to

Abstract:

Community colleges face a growing crisis in leadership and a critical aspect of this crisis is a shortage of leaders. The representation of women leaders in community colleges has increased more than other sector of higher education. This upswing suggests that community colleges are the most likely place for women to achieve executive leadership status. Yet, community college history is grounded in male dominance and women leaders remain marginalized in the community college system.

Abstract:

The research in this thesis investigates the learning processes of absorptive capacity (AC) as an element within organisation innovation. An analysis of leadership ‘styles’ is undertaken and factors for effective innovation adoption are considered. It is apparent that AC has been well researched in recent years but there is evidence that little attention has been given into important influences such as leadership. Consequently, AC is determined to involve managerial learning through three processes. These include: (1) exploratory learning as an ability to value and acquire external knowledge,

The purpose of this research is to study how organizations maintain their competitive advantage in today’s turbulent and highly competitive business environment, by striving to become a learning organization. The impact of factors such as leadership (both transformational and transactional leadership) and trust on an organization’s learning capability is empirically examined. This research adds to the existing body of literature in two ways. First, it argues that a transactional leadership style can influence learning, despite research spanning the last decade that has focused on transformatio
