Servant-Leadership in Crisis: A Case Study of the 2002 Evacuation of the International Christian Academy in Cote D’ivoire
Get PDFImagine, if you will, that you are at dinner with your family. After dinner, you sit at the table discussing the day s events with your wife and the sounds of gunshots ring out. You realize with a sinking feeling that the kids, as they often are after dinner, are outside playing. You run to the yard only to find it empty but alight with hundreds of tracers streaming overhead. Imagine your relief when, after a frantic search, you find your children huddled in the backyard or safe in a neighbor s home. You gather your family to wait out the battle, but your relief slowly fades as you realize the shooting is not stopping. As it turns out, your neighborhood is under siege. Your neighbors gather together to pick a leader to see them through the crisis

No full textCorpus of News on the Web data for February 2017.
The TAR folder contains linguistic data in three formats: Database: This is the format allows for the most robust searches and allows for powerful JOINs across corpus, lexicon, and source tables but requires knowledge of SQL. See Full-text corpus data for more information on how to use the database format. Linear Text: This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can\u27t are separated into two parts (ca n\u27t) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her). Word, Lemma, Part of Speech: Texts are separated by a line with ## and the textID
Powerless to Powerful: Leadership for School Change, A Book Review
Get PDFNearly half of new teachers leave the profession within their first five years including almost ten percent who leave after their first year, according to the 2014 Consortium for Police Research in Education report Seven Trends: The Transformation of the Teaching Force. Among the factors that push people who were, at one point, committed enough to education to earn a degree in it to change their career goals, change fatigue is high on the list. Constant criticism, pressure to turn around schools labeled as failing, and the perpetual implementation of new programs with new roles for teachers, new demands on their time, new methods for data collection and analysis to determine if those activities are working, all of which could be abandoned with the appointment of a new administrator these all overwhelm teachers and contribute to feelings of hopeless. Such activitydriven approaches ultimately fail because they ask teachers to do more without putting teachers priorities and needs first
Erich Przywara on John Henry Newman and the Supernatural
Get PDFThis essay inquires into the unique intersection of Erich Przywara and John Henry Newman and explores the re-imagined notions of divine transcendence and the supernatural in their works. Przywara found in Newman a source of inspiration for a more lively presentation of Catholic thought and a model for illuminating the path toward a new Catholic intellectual culture. Newman’s work highlights the actively inquiring disposition of faith, an active search for the meaning of its doctrines, a progressive and unceasing journey that comprises the entirety of one’s life. By showing the changing Catholic responses to modernity and the evolving theological approaches that would come to characterize later twentieth-century Catholic thought, the paper emphasizes how Przywara and Newman contributed to a more vibrant form of Catholicism and a renewal of Catholic intellectual culture that anticipated the Church’s wider opening to the world.

The Servant-Leader in the Library: A Case Study and a Journey Towards Self-Transcendence
Get PDFWhat follows is a personal case study in servantleadership. For the sake of confidentiality and clarity, I will employ pseudonyms both for my subject (the library dean at a small but growing Catholic institution of liberal arts) and for the school itself. I first met the subject of this study, whom I will refer to as Evelyn Bentley, late in November of the year 2000, not long after she had assumed the role of Interim Dean of Library Services at the institution I will call St. Aloysius University. In April of the same year, I had given up my job managing a mid-sized branch of a public library system and embarked with my wife on a four-month road trip, freespiritedly crisscrossing the country and culminating in our arrival in a new city where my wife had enrolled in a graduate program
Cultural Universals and Cultural Differences in Meta-Norms about Peer Punishment
Get PDFViolators of cooperation norms may be informally punished by their peers. How such norm enforcement is judged by others can be regarded as a meta-norm (i.e., a second-order norm). We examined whether meta-norms about peer punishment vary across cultures by having students in eight countries judge animations in which an agent who over-harvested a common resource was punished either by a single peer or by the entire peer group. Whether the punishment was retributive or restorative varied between two studies, and findings were largely consistent across these two types of punishment. Across all countries, punishment was judged as more appropriate when implemented by the entire peer group than by an individual. Differences between countries were revealed in judgments of punishers vs. non-punishers. Specifically, appraisals of punishers were relatively negative in three Western countries and Japan, and more neutral in Pakistan, UAE, Russia, and China, consistent with the influence of individualism, power distance, and/or indulgence. Our studies constitute a first step in mapping how meta-norms vary around the globe, demonstrating both cultural universals and cultural differences
War or Peace? How the Subjective Perception of Great Power Interdependence Shapes Preemptive Defensive Aggression
Get PDFWhy do great powers with benign intentions end up fighting each other in wars they do not seek? We utilize an incentivized, two-person “Preemptive Strike Game” (PSG) to explore how the subjective perception of great power interdependence shapes defensive aggression against persons from rival great powers. In Study 1, college students from the United States (N = 115), China (N = 106), and Japan (N = 99) made PSG decisions facing each other. This natural experiment revealed that Chinese and Japanese participants (a) made more preemptive attacks against each other and Americans than against their compatriots, and that (b) greater preexisting perceptions of bilateral competition increased intergroup attack rates. In Study 2, adult Americans (N = 127) watched real CNN expert interviews portraying United States–China economic interdependence as more positive or negative. This randomized experiment revealed that the more positive portrayal reduced preemptive American strikes against Chinese (but not Japanese), while the more negative portrayal amplified American anger about China’s rise, increasing preemptive attacks against Chinese. We also found, however, that preemptive strikes were primarily defensive and not offensive. Interventions to reduce defensive aggression and promote great power peace are discussed
