The Effectiveness of Digital Escape Rooms to Deliver Leadership Training: A Mixed-Methods Study
No full textEscape room games have emerged in the educational landscape over the last decade and are growing in popularity. Studies show that participants enjoy educational escape room games, however the data to demonstrate learning acquisition and behavior change is limited. This study addressed the research question: How effective are escape room games as a leadership training activity? The researcher developed The Leadership Escape Game, a digital game, where participants explored the online space and solved puzzles and challenges to learn the SLII® leadership model (used with permission from the Ken Blanchard Companies). Effectiveness of the game was measured using the first three levels of the New World Kirkpatrick Model. Participants completed a learner satisfaction survey immediately after playing The Leadership Escape Game. The Leader Behavior Analysis II® (LBA II) was used as a pre-test, post-test, and 30-day post-test to measure learning acquisition. The LBAII® calculated Leadership Style Flexibility and Effectiveness scores that demonstrated understanding of the model with a scenario-based multiple-choice assessment. Behavior change was assessed using participant interviews at least 30 days following the game. Results demonstrated that a digital escape room game is an effective way to deliver leadership training. Learner satisfaction results presented statistically significant and positive ratings about participation in The Leadership Escape Game. Leadership Style Flexibility and Effectiveness results across the three assessments demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in scores following the game. 30-day post-game interviews also presented evidence that participants applied what they learned with their employees. Additional analysis determined that previous experience with escape rooms or the leadership content were not pre-requisites to success in The Leadership Escape Game

Effective Toxic Leadership vs Pleiotropic Leadership (Demystifying Dark Transformational Leaders Session 3)
No full textDemystifying Dark Transformational Leaders with Dr. Cecelia Martin.
There is clearly a distinction between Transformational Leaders and other types of leaders. Affectionately known as Transformers, these powerful change agents ignite organizations to accomplish extraordinary outcomes that transcend the monotony of day-to-day operations. Transformers accomplish the mission, move others into action, and inspire the hearts and minds of many with grand and compelling visions. However, transformers can exemplify the best of leadership and the worst of leadership. When operating from the dark side of charisma, Transformers can become the single catalyst to derailing a company’s success, their impact can be catastrophic. Instead of ignoring or dismissing these dark traits, we can learn to recognize and mitigate the signs of toxicity in Transformers and use it as an opportunity to embed accountability and bring balance to the pressures that come with power and authority.
Session 3: Effective Toxic Leadership vs Pleiotropic Leadership
Contextual balance is crucial to understanding effective toxic leaders, which would support balance to studies that are bias and distorted. Inadequacies and incompetency do not necessarily translate into bad or toxic leadership as the literature might suggest, neither does poor judgment. Many great leaders have experienced challenges, but they are often able to reflect and change course. Some leaders are misinformed, lacking knowledge, and therefore made poor decisions. However, there is something different to be said about leaders who lead with venom, manipulate followers for personal gain, and knowingly commit crimes. Toxic leaders exhibit traits that influence and germinate negatively like a virus; whereas, the behaviors of pleiotropic leaders are consistent, but the results are extremely positive or extremely negative outcomes, at the opposite ends of the spectrum, with very little shades of grey.https://fuse.franklin.edu/leadership-events/1005/thumbnail.jp

A Qualitative Study: Exploring Perceptions of Leadership Among Nurses
No full textThe leadership style displayed within the work environment can affect every employee’s attitudes and behaviors when coupled with poor leadership approaches from others at different management levels. This study explored the dynamics of leader-member exchange theory, the leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and authentic), and the attitudes and behaviors that shaped the personal experiences of healthcare professionals. The purpose of this qualitative narrative inquiry was to contribute additional knowledge to healthcare administration and leadership styles. Nurses were interviewed regarding their perceptions of leadership styles. They were interviewed about attitudes and behaviors toward leadership and whether those attitudes changed the continuity of patient care and safety. Eleven verbatim transcripts of the audio-recorded interviews were imported as text documents to NVivo 12. Four themes emerged during data analysis: (a) positive perceptions, (b) negative perceptions, (c) effective performance, and (d) barriers to performance. Future recommendations involve an understanding of leader-member exchange theory for leader relationships with nurses
