The current paper provides a critique, stemming from logic, of a reductionist approach to leadership in popular sources. The reductionist approach is manifested in propositions such as “possession of trait and/or behavior X makes one a leader.” First, the logical fallacy of the undistributed middle is explained. Second, the paper presents the appearance of the fallacy of the undistributed middle in leadership training and popular leadership materials. The paper demonstrates that popular unchecked traits and/or behavioral understandings of leadership generate misleading and logically flawed statements about leadership. The understanding of leadership built on such statements both originates and increases the ambiguity of the term leader and it likely results in ineffective training programs and actual performance on the job.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 3","pages":"28-35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134975383","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}

It then addresses an effort to say that when these materials claim that a leader is or does something in particular, what they are saying is that anyone who is, or does that particular thing is therefore a leader. It is unclear that anyone makes that argument. If these materials are instead stipulating a definition, then it is not invalid to apply that definition. But even if they are saying that among the things that leaders are or do is something in particular, they are still not saying that anyone who is or does that particular something is necessarily a leader. It is not illogical to identify what a person believes that leaders are or do. That much can be helpful. The question is what logical inferences they draw from this premise.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 3","pages":"36-39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135590339","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}

While disciplinary boundaries are permeable and fluid, the organizational boundaries defined within institutions based on disciplinary affiliation impose specific expectations and limitations that may artificially constrain interdisciplinary pursuits, including those within leadership studies. The current article presents a conceptualization of how disciplinary expertise and faculty credentialing may shape the future of leadership studies.

{"title":"Migrant and Refugee Women: A Case for Community Leadership","authors":"Whitney McIntyre Miller,&nbsp;Rabab Atwi","doi":"10.1002/jls.21858","DOIUrl":"10.1002/jls.21858","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;The current paper posits that forced migration, as seen as a movement through a liminal space, provides the opportunity for refugee women to build upon their resilience and create social capital to find new ways and spaces to engage in community leadership. Escalating conflict in different parts of the world has led millions of people to flee their homelands in search of safety and protection. Based on recent statistics shared by the World Bank, more than 100 million people were forcibly displaced by May 2022, and two-thirds of the world's poor population is expected to live in settings dominated by conflict and violence by 2030 (World Bank, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) estimated that women and girls comprise around 50% of any refugee population; the percentage grows even larger when all refugee children are included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While political conflict negatively impacts all individuals, women encounter a disproportionate level of psychological and physical challenges during forced migration. These include changes to economic and employment status, opportunities, and expectations (Canefe, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;); separation from family members (Asaf, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;); lack of appropriate accommodations (Amnesty International, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;); sexual exploitation and harassment (Charles &amp; Denman, &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;); and domestic violence at the hands of their male partners who often lash out in anger and frustration (Andrabi, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; El-Masri et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). Women who are disabled, pregnant, heads of households, or elderly are especially vulnerable to violence and discrimination (UNHCR, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, the impacts of forced migration are far more significant for women than men as they transition from their homes to a new, and often quite different, situation. This period of liminality, or the space between, enables opportunities for the new realities in which migrant and refugee women find themselves to lean into the resilience they develop and the social networks they create to find new opportunities, both formal and informal, for leadership. This argument is presented in the following pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In many ways, refugee and migrant women face a time of liminality as they are forced to transition from the context that they once knew to an entirely new one. Liminality is the space between the past that is known and the future that is yet to be known (Turner, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;). It is within this space, or the in-between, where change and transition take place, where unpredictability and uncertainty, including feelings of dread or exhilaration, tend to lead the way (Turner, &lt;span&gt;1992&lt;/span&gt;; Voegelin, &lt;span&gt;1990&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Classically, Lewin (&lt;span&gt;1951&lt;/span&gt;) referred to a notion of change as being where things are unfrozen, changed, and then refrozen. In many ways, liminality is, indeed, the space between the unfrozen and the r","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 2","pages":"47-52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jls.21858","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43518442","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}

{"title":"The Critical Bridge of Refugee Community Leadership to Enhance Belonging in Australia","authors":"Louis Ndagijimana","doi":"10.1002/jls.21852","DOIUrl":"10.1002/jls.21852","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Refugee community leadership enhances social cohesion by focusing on belonging, inclusion, participation, recognition, and legitimacy, presenting an open door to freedom and social justice for underrepresented communities, including refugees (Dandy &amp; Pe-Pua, &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). As a person from a refugee background, with lived experience of resettlement challenges that need to be resolved (Lumb &amp; Ndagijimana, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;), I know how critical leadership is for refugee communities (Clarke, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). As an African-Australian, born and raised in Burundi, a country wedged between Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda, I lived in a refugee camp in Tanzania for 7 years. During that time I worked with diverse refugee communities through different United Nations organizations, including teaching at a high school for 4 years (2003–2007). When I arrived in Australia, learning the English language alongside the Australian “ways of doing things” was significantly challenging for me. Upon obtaining technical training in the community services sector (i.e., community services work, Mental Health and Case management), I completed my Bachelor of Social Science degree and Master of Social Change and Development at the University of Newcastle. These experiences support my current role at the University of Newcastle in the Centre for Excellence for Equity in Higher Education (CEEHE), where I work with students from refugee or refugee adjacent backgrounds, supporting them in successfully navigating higher education (Lumb &amp; Ndagijimana, &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a country like Australia, refugee community leadership is required in order to reconsider the politics of knowledge and the importance of advocacy to ensure “social justice” (or participation parity) (Charmaz, &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;; Fraser, &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;; Power, &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;). Social justice leadership frameworks examine whether individuals labeled as “non-traditional” or “refugees” are socially treated un/fairly within their host community (Fraser, &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt;). Thus, refugee community leaders are instrumental in implementing and enhancing advocacy for the refugee community they represent. Community leaders advocate restlessly, aiming to achieve possible socioeconomic environments where refugees' choices of access and participation are prioritized (Power, &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;). However, on both sides of refugee communities and community representatives, there are many challenges and struggles that need to be explored before experts come up with adequate and durable solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since Australia signed the Refugee Convention and Protocol in Geneva in 1951, refugees have traveled from third world/global south countries, aiming to re/settle (temporarily or permanently) in Australia for a wide variety of reasons (Palmer, &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;). This resettlement is accompanied by challenges as refugees try to align with the local lifestyle and culture","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 2","pages":"39-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jls.21852","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41408735","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}

Sudha","doi":"10.1002/jls.21857","DOIUrl":"10.1002/jls.21857","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is an increasingly popular framework used for ethical health disparities research and social justice praxis with refugee communities (Ellis et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;; Wallerstein &amp; Duran, &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;). It is anchored by several main pillars, including recognition of the community context, indigenous knowledge, and practices; shared leadership and decision-making; capacity building; and empowerment and transformation for social change (Blumenthal, &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;; Minkler &amp; Wallerstein, &lt;span&gt;2003&lt;/span&gt;; Wallerstein et al., &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;). When applied in real-life scenarios, CBPR fosters mindful and reciprocal relationships by deflating power imbalances and dismantling distrust between mainstream academic researchers (outsiders) and refugee community constituents (insiders) (Tobias et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Participatory Action Research (PAR), from which CBPR derives, has been described as a “decolonizing methodology” that counters social inequities through the emphasis on community members and researchers coproducing knowledge to promote social change (Kia-Keating &amp; Juang, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). CBPR includes rigorous approaches to engage community members and reduce power differentials, including scrutiny of community members' and researchers' gains and potentials for harm from the research process, and the accountability of the latter to the former (Kia-Keating &amp; Juang, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). Such approaches are key to transformative work with marginalized communities in a societal and institutional climate of structural racism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In particular, youth from refugee-origin communities within the United States differ markedly from the dominant society in their ethno-history, identity, cultural beliefs, and world views (Reynolds &amp; Bacon, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). These differences can heighten youth from refugee-origin communities' vulnerability to adverse mental health outcomes (Frounfelker et al., &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;). However, this also has implications for their potential to act as agents of community empowerment when they are supported through the education process (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). In the United States, there has been more emphasis on supporting refugee youth to adjust to the receiving society's educational expectations and settings (Reynolds &amp; Bacon, &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;), and less on recognizing and developing their cultural and linguistic expertise to bridge mutual gaps with mainstream agencies, resources, and society to empower their communities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is where the CBPR pillars—equitable voice, recognizing indigenous knowledge, and community capacity building focus—can be agents of transformation and change. For example, Yoon et al. (&lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;) used the CBPR approach to engage and examine acculturation, cultural integration, and life satisfaction with South Sudanese refugee youth/young ad","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 2","pages":"53-61"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jls.21857","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42006985","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}
