International Leadership Association
Global Leadership: Portraits of the Past, Visions for the Future

Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner Pearl S. Buck once declared, “One faces the future with one’s past.” This is precisely the task laid before us as we move towards a more connected and interdependent global community. What do we have to learn from the history of leaders and leadership? What from the past should we bring to the future? What must be left behind in order to work towards a greater global good? What new demands does the future place on emerging leaders and concepts of leadership?

From November 12-15, 2008, the International Leadership Association (ILA) will hold its 10th annual global conference at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California. During this time, we will not only examine the history of the field of Leadership but also explore the new methods, research, resources, technologies, and leaders that are bringing us into the future. In addition, we will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the ILA and acknowledge individuals whose lives and works have impacted leadership studies.

The ILA seeks submissions that represent the best contemporary thinking about leadership from a diverse range of leadership scholars, practitioners, educators, program directors, consultants, and students. Proposal formats include: panel discussions, paper presentations, workshops, conversations with leadership authors, case studies, interactive roundtable discussions, and poster displays. While we encourage the submission of all current work on leadership, extra attention will be given to those submissions that relate to the conference theme, Global Leadership: Portraits of the Past, Visions for the Future.

Of particular interest are proposals that offer innovative information, provocative research or useful skills to one or more ILA Member Interest Groups, while involving presenters from multiple fields, organizations, disciplines, locations or sectors. The Member Interest Groups coordinate a peer-review process in March to identify those of the highest quality. Acceptances will be sent in May.

Journal of Spirituality, Leadership and Management

The Journal of Spirituality, Leadership and Management (JSLaM) is currently seeking contributions.

JSLaM is an online, applied, peer-reviewed journal. It aims to foster the understanding and integration of spirituality, leadership and management in organisations, communities and the natural world through networking, education and research. It explores the theoretical and applied elements underpinning the relationship between spirituality, leadership, and management, through three major dimensions: spirituality as it affects leadership and management of (a) organisations, (b) communities, and (c) the environment. JSLaM’s particular focus is not conventional management consulting, nor is it individual spiritual paths or basic leadership principles. It is the confluence of all these.

JSLaM publishes the results of research, theoretical and conceptual developments, and examples of current practice, including techniques and skills that one can use to enhance understanding of spirituality in leadership and management. JSLaM is now seeking contributions in the form of:

• Refereed papers
• Case studies
• Book reviews
• General papers

Generating Transformative Change in Human Systems

We are pleased to announce open enrollment in our next session of Generating Transformative Change in Human Systems and would like you to be one of the first to know about this new session. This program will begin on April 7, 2008. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants.

GTC is a powerful, leading-edge intensive learning experience designed to support the emergence of effective integral leaders and communities of practice. This 18 month Professional Certificate Program is offered through the Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS) at Bastyr University. The intention of the program is to provide a platform from which participants can create their own transformation to a greater level of service, success, and fulfillment. Past participants have come from all over world—including several countries in Africa, Asia and Europe—to participate in the learning community that GTC offers.

GTC has been specifically designed to serve people going through (or about to go through) significant shifts in their outer and inner lives; people who are feeling an internal pressure to make a breakthrough in terms of the contribution they offer through their being in the world. The early foundational work in the program provides an initiation into the practical living of an integral life as it relates to transformation in human systems. Towards these ends we explore the latest knowledge and theories, leadership approaches, integral life practice, integral assessment, learning community and fields, action inquiry, engagement in your emerging work, global issues and more. As the months progress we add greater depth of application of the integral approach by building on the foundations established early on: developing further leadership capacities and concentrating on application in areas such as organizational leadership and consulting, and individual, family and community.

As a participant in this unique and effective program, you will:

• Become part of a vibrant learning community of transformational leaders from such diverse fields as Healthcare, Technology, Education, Politics, Psychology, Space Exploration, the Arts, Engineering, Social Activism, Religion and Management
• Embody an integral, developmental approach in all aspects of leadership and the facilitation of change
• Become grounded in leading theoretical frameworks for transformative development in self, other and organizations.
• Begin to embody these frameworks so they become a natural expression of an engaged life.
• Explore various relevant global, mega-contexts impacting consulting practices and life in general such as money, ecology, geo-politics and economics.
• Learn proven leading edge approaches for powerfully intervening in complex systems.
• Develop and embody an integral life practice.
• Participate in an individually tailored journey of transformative development.
• Meet and join with people from around the world committed to generating positive, global change.

This program begins on April 7, 2008 and takes place over 18 months. The core of the program consists of six intensive five-day retreats held at the beautiful Harmony Hill retreat center about two hours outside of Seattle. In addition, participants will engage in a variety of learning modalities throughout the year. The end result is a powerful theoretical grounding, and an embodied practice for generating transformative change.

During this 18 month program, participants will receive:

• Six five-day intensive retreats combining theory practice
• Leadership Development Framework (Susanne Cook-Greuter) assessment and results
• Learning teams to provide accountability shared resources
• An 18-month on-line classroom with leaders from various fields
• Guest faculty knowledgeable in latest developments in individual and organizational development and Integral Theory (including Alain Gauthier, Susanne Cook-Greuter John Kesler).
• One-on-one coaching
• A Professional Certificate through the Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS) at Bastyr University.

Retreat Dates April 7 – April 12, 2008, July 22 – July 27, 2008, October 28 – November 2, 2008, January 6 – 11, 2009, April 13 – 18, 2009. July 14 – 19, 2009

Conference on Social Entrepreneurship, Systems Thinking & Complexity and Special Journal Issue

Adelphi University & The Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence (ISCE) publishers of Emergence: Complexity and Organization (E:CO) announce The First International Conference on Social Entrepreneurship, Systems Thinking & Complexity, April 24-26, 2008, Adelphi University, Garden City, New York USA (Just outside Manhattan near JFK Airport).

Within the arena of social entrepreneurship there is no theoretical framework to describe the systemic dimensions at work. Recent advances in the sciences of complex systems offer great promise as one way of providing a more thorough understanding and grounding for the field. Indeed, the need for a complexity theoretical perspective that goes beyond current linear and equilibrium-based models is noted in the most recent guidelines for applications for funding in the area of social entrepreneurship programs.

This conference will bring together leading thinkers in complexity theory, social entrepreneurship, social innovation, and leadership research to gain a better understanding of the state of knowledge in these vital areas. This conference provides a unique opportunity to not only further understanding but also to make a difference.

Selected papers at the conference will be published in a special issue of the journal Emergence: Complexity and Organization (E:CO) and will also be included in an edited book to be published in 2008. We invite theoretical analyses, suggestions for empirical studies, and/or practitioner-based approaches, and we are particularly receptive to collaborative efforts that span different academic disciplines or fields and that introduce new methodologies or approaches. Two types of submissions are requested: academic papers (an extended abstract is okay) and proposals for panels or symposia.

Due date for academic submissions is February 15, 2008; panel proposals are March 10, 2008. For more information contact Jim Hazy hazy@adelphi.edu or for a detailed CFP go to: http://complexityleadership.wikispaces.com/Events.

M. Keck Foundation.

We are currently soliciting interest in attending and/or presenting at the Institute. We would welcome paper and discussion topics, which might include, but are by no means limited to: experimental research on leadership; citizenship, democracy and leadership; the role of beliefs and social norms in leadership; collective choice and the political economy of leadership; or leadership themes, past and present.

The conference will be free and open to all interested parties; meals and lodging will be provided for registered attendees; stipends will be offered to presenters. If you are interested in attending or presenting, please contact Nancy Nock at the Jepson School: nnock@richmond.edu for further details.
