AI-Enhanced Training, Education, & Development: Exploration and Insights Into Generative AI\u27s Role in Leadership Learning
No full textThe current article examines artificial intelligence\u27s (AI) role in leadership training, education, and development across higher education and industry contexts. We analyze current implementations and explore how AI technologies reshape leadership preparation while investigating the essential balance between task-oriented and relationship-oriented approaches. Our analysis reveals that successful AI integration depends on human-in-the-loop processes, pedagogical design that preserves relationship-building, and comprehensive AI literacy development. The study introduces the concept of ‘taxonomical leapfrogging’ and demonstrates how AI can enhance traditional leadership development through sophisticated content sequencing, personalized learning pathways, and intelligent feedback systems. We provide a practical framework for implementing AI tools while identifying key challenges, including quality assurance at scale and ethical considerations. Our findings suggest that effective leadership development requires integrated approaches that leverage AI\u27s capabilities while preserving essential human elements, with specific recommendations for both academic programs and industry initiatives

Feedback on Withdrawal Management Services in Maine from Persons with Lived Experience
No full textThis summary report presents findings from interviews with twelve persons with lived experience of substance use disorder (PWLE). The interviews asked persons in recovery about their experiences accessing withdrawal management and broader substance use treatment services across Maine. Participants identified key barriers to treatment including high costs, limited bed availability, long wait times, geographic inaccessibility, and lack of centralized information. Gaps in service infrastructure, particularly for opioid withdrawal management, long-term treatment, and transition supports post-detox, were widely reported. Participants emphasized the critical need for more localized and individualized services, particularly for parents, rural residents, and low-income individuals. Recommendations include expanding statewide detoxification capacity, improving care coordination, creating centralized resources for treatment navigation, and addressing stigma within the healthcare system.

Opioid Epidemic in Maine: An Analysis of Increasing Overdose-Related Deaths Following the Coronavirus
Full text linkThe rate of drug overdose resulting in death doubled in Maine following the COVID-19 pandemic from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 through 2022. The correlation between increased isolation during the pandemic and overdose death rates sheds a concerning light on the insufficient resources for people struggling with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) throughout Maine. The increasing trade and access to fentanyl following the pandemic accounted for the majority of drug-related deaths in Maine in 2021 and 2022. This study examines the need for long-term access to drug treatment in rural and urban Maine, both environments with varying needs. Increasing accessibility to methadone clinics in rural Maine will make it easier for individuals with substance use disorder to receive medical care promptly. Issues of homelessness in urban areas must be addressed, as dehumanizing living conditions are directly linked to opioid abuse. Deregulating buprenorphine and other drugs used to treat opioid dependence will decrease overdose death rates and will destigmatize safe injection practices. This will give users more control over the dose they are injecting and will, in turn, lower the overdose rate
