This study explores the perceptions of students regarding the use of current events articles from <i>The New York Times</i> as supplementary resources in learning leadership concepts and theories. A convergent parallel mixed methods design was employed across three different sections (online, hybrid & in person) during the fall 2023 semester at a large, land-grant university. A survey containing quantitative and qualitative items was sent to students in each class at the end of the semester for extra credit. Findings from the study show a positive perception among students regarding the usage of current events articles from <i>The New York Times</i> in supplementing their learning about leadership concepts and theories. The supplemental learning tool also gave students a better understanding of real-world issues and scenarios and enhanced their interest in learning more about leadership issues. The research team concludes that the integration of <i>The New York Times</i> current articles proved to be highly effective in supplementing traditional learning materials in the leadership course.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine established teamwork models, such as Shared Mental Model (SMM) and Co-Active Design, and present a human-AI team framework to understand how AI can effectively enhance joint activity, communication, and decision-making within teams. Additionally, the paper identifies current challenges with integrating AI into human-agent teams, including the lack of adaptive teamwork models and engineering limitations.
