Leadership Papers

1. Dugan, J. P. (2017). Leadership theory: Cultivating critical perspectives. John Wiley & Sons.An interdisciplinary survey text on leadership theory grounded using critical perspectives.

2. Lieff, S. J., & Yammarino, F. J. (2017). How to lead the way through complexity, constraint, and uncertainty in Academic Health Science Centers. Academic Medicine, 92(5), 614-621.In this Article, the authors propose that Academic Heath Science Centres (AHSCs) will require a unique combination of old and new leadership approaches specifically oriented to the unique complexity of the AHSC context. The authors highlight and explore some of these new approaches—the authentic, self, shared, and network approaches to leadership.
3. Boyer, E. L. (1990). Scholarship reconsidered: Priorities of the professoriate. Princeton University Press, 3175 Princeton Pike, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648.This report on the professoriate in American higher education explores how the use of faculty time is rewarded and, especially, what activities of the professoriate are most highly prized. Changes in the work of higher education institutions through the years–its movement from teaching to service and then research, are noted, as are conflicts resulting from institutions attempting to achieve competing goals. Concern is raised regarding the emphasis on research and publication for academic advancement. Four general views of scholarship are proposed: discovery, integration, application, and teaching. Institutions are encouraged to stress their unique qualities and strengths, and to reconsider the narrowness of the faculty reward system.
