  Leading Beyond Tragedy: The Balance of Personal Identity and Adaptability

  Jack McCarthy

  Questrom School of Management

  Leadership & Organization Development Journal

  From the abstract: Two metacompetencies – personal identity and adaptability – help explain how effective leaders respond to situations requiring seemingly contradictory sets of behaviors. Here

  leaders navigate traumatic situations and conflict by drawing on a deep awareness of self and high levels of adaptability

  knowing how to respond appropriately to crisis

  and invoke behaviorally complex responses to challenges. Frames this as being evidence of “identity/adaptability balanced leadership” to offer leadership development lessons and suggest directions for future leadership research.

  Leading Beyond Tragedy: The Balance of Personal Identity and Adaptability

  Eileen McNeely

  From the abstract: Adaptability is a key competency for career success. In this article

  the authors examine how individual adaptability is associated with the accrual of human capital

  the organization of the work environment

  and the characteristics of individuals. They find that a number of factors are particularly strongly related to personal adaptability: gender

  \nemployability

  education

  and management support. By understanding the variety of factors that are intrinsic to individuals

  those that can be developed within individuals

  and work environment design

  it seems possible to foster the development of personal adaptability in the workplace.

  From the abstract: Building on prior reviews

  we update the literature and contrast group visioning processes with leader driven vision development. The article offers a comprehensive look at vision\ndevelopment

  implementation

  and the impact of visioning and suggests a number of propositions for future research.

  Organizational Visioning: An Integrative Review

  From the abstract: Based on an experience in an MBA Human Resource Management classroom

  \nthis paper traces the process of my reflection on an icebreaker discussion of ‘‘best’’ and ‘‘worst’’ student jobs. I indicate how I developed second thoughts about the way in which I handled the discussion

  concerned that making light of messy jobs might encourage the class of future managers to do the same.

  Breaking the Ice with a Gutted Rooster: Reflection on a Messy Day One.

  From the abstract: case study of three successful Catholic parishes identified three direct leadership mechanisms—invitation

  inspiration

  and affection—that evoke and nurture the service of others. The case analysis also identified two organizational leadership mechanisms—culture building and structural initiatives—through which servant leaders fostered organizational citizenship. This study contributes to an understanding of organizational effectiveness by suggesting how\nleaders might foster the growth and development of others

  build servant-oriented organizations

  and improve overall organizational performance.

  How Might Servant Leadership Work?

  Shelly McCallum

  Leadership and Organization Development Journal

  From the abstract: As organizations face volatile and virtual environments there is a growing need to equip emerging leaders with skills to generate

  utilize and maintain social capital. This paper aims to examine five recent

  large leadership studies to clarify the role that human capital or social capital capabilities play in present day and future leadership.
