دانلود کتاب The ASHE HIgher Education Report Rethinking the "L" Word in Higher Education: The Revolution of Research on Leadership

Leadership has moved from being leader centered, individualistic, hierarchical, focused on universal characteristics, and emphasizing power over followers to a new vision in which leadership is process centered, collective, context bound, nonhierarchical, and focused on mutual power and influence. This book summarizes research and literature related to new concepts of leadership to inform practice.ew of the new concepts have been examined, however, and reflect important areas for future research and examination by practitioners. Higher education would benefit as a field if more studies would use critical and postmodern paradigms to uncover new ways to conceptualize leadership; explore explicit examinations of power dynamics embedded in leadership processes; focus on failed examples of leadership; study the implications of globalization for leadership; focus on entrepreneurialism, accountability, and cross-cultural leadership; explore empirical studies of specific cultural phenomena that affect leadership in higher education such as symbols or story telling; develop empirical research from the perspective of social movement; study the interaction of various levels (micro, meso, macro) and aspects (different units) of the higher education context; focus on negotiating conflicts that are inevitable with collective forms of leadership; use interdisciplinary research to understand ethics, global leadership, and empowerment; and study leadership over time, as relationships take time to develop.
