The current article highlights research on virtual mentoring of graduate students, mentoring of graduate students in interdisciplinary programs, and ways in which one online graduate program engaged students in a scholar-practitioner leadership development event.

To further explore antecedents and outcomes of responsible leadership, scholars and practitioners need an instrument that can gauge the influence of responsible leadership on organizational members. The present study is a combination of four studies and is aimed at developing a measurement instrument using the sequential mixed method equal status approach. The study aims to explore responsibility-oriented dimensions and their subdimensions that are perceived to be comparatively more relevant to responsible leadership by organizational members, while simultaneously, being supported by existing literature. An initial qualitative study, comprising 25 in-depth interviews, revealed six responsibility-oriented dimensions that could reliably measure the construct. Three quantitative studies, entailing collection and analysis of data for each (<i>N</i> = 608, 745, 800), were conducted to refine and validate the instrument. The study used the opinions of followers (organizational members) to determine the influence of responsible leadership in an organization. Based on the validity and reliability statistics of the three studies, the instrument is considered reliable for measurement of the influence of responsible leadership at individual, group, and organizational levels.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"18 2","pages":"7-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141505536","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}

Therefore, prospective leaders are advised to consider whether to change their behavior to influence others' leadership assessments of them. The decision whether or not to instrumentally change behavior to match others' expectations raises authenticity concerns. There is a need to explore the tensions in the relationship between the practical application of ideas emanating from the socially constructed approach to leadership and authenticity. There are four strategies prospective leaders can choose between to navigate their own approach between instrumentally and authenticity. Two of the strategies accept the idea prospective leaders might deliberately change their behaviors; the other two strategies reject the notion. Learning how to reveal other people's implicit leadership theories is an important skill for prospective leaders to acquire so they might make informed decisions about how to adapt their own behaviors. Prospective leaders might consider making conscious decisions about the values and norms they are prepared to accept and the ones they will confront.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"18 3","pages":"6-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jls.21886","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141505535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we collectively vision what comes next for generative leadership, it is essential to analyze the shift from crisis management and mere survival to more long-term visioning and generative leadership practices. With this in mind, the following questions are asked: How do leaders reconceptualize generativity? How are leadership processes grounded in cultures of care, support, and critical hope? How are crisis management and post-crisis leadership balanced in a world full of multiple complexities? The symposium seeks to explore these questions and more, looking to live in the complexity of reconceptualizing generativity for a new generation.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"33-35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jls.21888","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
