The educator identity exploration allows for the individual to ask themselves important questions to consider issues of power and privilege that inherently influence the learning environment.

The current article begins with situating the relationship of whiteness and niceness, then offers liberatory considerations for troubling niceness in leadership education. Considerations for why leadership educators and students, based on their social identities and lived experiences, might resist addressing social inequality, power, inclusion, and equity in leadership are discussed.

Wilkinson","doi":"10.1002/jls.21817","DOIUrl":"10.1002/jls.21817","url":null,"abstract":"<p>In the symposium's first article, Wilkinson requested that leaders consider resilience as one possible asset to assist employees in thriving during volatile times. In the second article, Georgoulas-Sherry demonstrated resilience as a contrast unique from grit or hardiness and brought clarity as to how each of these three constructs should be discussed. Leaders and researchers should now be able to correctly identify which construct is needed in a given situation. In the third article, Bowman provided an overview of the resilience and leadership literature. By identifying what research has already been conducted, Bowman identified what types of research need to be conducted going forward. One such area identified was the impact of leadership on team resilience. In the fourth article, McEwen explored the role leaders play in creating work climates that foster team, and subsequently, organizational resilience. In the current and final article, Shek and Wilkinson explore future opportunities for leadership and resilience research.</p><p>A survey of the literature suggested a need to conduct more research on the relationship between resilience and leadership. Using “resilience” as the search term, a March 2022 search of PsycINFO yielded 36,928 citations. A subsequent search of the same database using “leadership” yielded 99,846 records. However, when searching for “resilience” and “leadership,” only 1,358 citations were found. The rather low yield for the combined terms of “resilience” and “leadership” points toward the need to conduct more studies on resilience and leadership. An additional observation is that most studies on resilience and leadership are conducted in Western societies. Culture defines the nature and meaning of resilience. There is a need to understand resilience and its relationship with leadership in different cultures. With specific reference to the Chinese communities, a PsycINFO search using “resilience,” “leadership,” and “Chinese” as the search terms revealed only 26 citations.</p><p>There are two reasons why Chinese beliefs about adversity should be examined. First, the sheer size of the Chinese population suggests that resilient leadership models must be tested in Chinese people for its generalizability. Second, Chinese beliefs about adversity based on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism provide interesting leads for developing resilient leadership models. How to integrate non-Western cultural beliefs about adversity and resilience in the context of leadership with Western theories and research is an exciting area to be explored. Exploring resilience in the Chinese culture is just one example of the need to strengthen the scientific database on resilience and leadership in non-Western contexts.</p><p>Certain fields such as medicine, nursing, and the military have led the way in work-related resilience research.

Leaders have a multi-faceted role in resilience-building within organisations. They need to personally invest in the resources that build their own resilience in order to both mitigate against personal burnout and overtly demonstrate resilience to followers. At the same time they need to foster resilience in the teams they lead. Emerging priorities for leaders are explored through the framework of the Resilience at Work Individual Scale, including the need for alignment of personal role modeling with current levels of team functioning. To date, most focus on resilience has been at the individual level, both for leaders and employees. The concept of team resilience is new and emerging, as is the leaders role in developing this. Principles for creating resilient team cultures and leader responsibilities within this are explored through the Resilience at Work Team Scale. The components of this scale are related to common demands experienced by teams postpandemic. Furthermore, the inter-relationship between employee resilience and the creation of resilient organisations is discussed and identified as an area for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"16 2","pages":"42-49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42791712","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}
