Abstract
The Problem Universities are workplaces designed for learning, research, and reflection. In recent years, an amalgam of issues, both internal and external, have emerged, making critical reflection more difficult and riskier for both academic and nonacademic staff. The Solution We argue that positive leadership, dialogue, and group connection can help counter increasing isolation and in effect make reflection more possible. The Stakeholders This article is relevant not only to human resource development (HRD) scholars and practitioners within the context of postsecondary institutions but also to large and complex bureaucratic organizations grappling with a changing landscape of employment.

Advances in Developing Human Resources is a bi-monthly journal whose single issues explore and examine discrete topics. These single issues (or "back issues," once the subsequent issue is published) are available individually or in quantities for use in a classroom or training environment. Balancing practice, theory, and readability, each issue is devoted to important and timely topics related to the development of human resources. The content of the journal spans the realms of performance, learning, and integrity within an organizational context. Readable and relevant to practitioners, each issue is grounded in sound research and theory and edited by a top scholar in the field.
