Strategic Imperatives of Muslim Leadership in Post-War Sri Lanka: Citizenship, Rights and Reconciliation

This study examines how a few selected mainstream Sri Lankan Muslim civil organisations have been responding to the Sinhala Buddhist ideological paradigm in post-war Sri Lanka. The ideology perceives that Sinhala Buddhists are true citizens of Sri Lanka while minorities are “others” or “guests”. Hence, the ideology plays a structural role in generating anti-Muslim sentiments in post-war Sri Lanka. Contrary to prevailing wisdom which argues that minorities attempt to deconstruct the majoritarian ideological foundation in their struggle for equality, dominant and mainstream Muslim civil society organisations in Sri Lanka have chosen to reconcile with it while resisting only its practical implications upon the community. Even though this strategy brings self-contradictory elements into play on theoretical grounds, Muslim civil society organisations think that it is a practically reasonable strategy given the developing socio-political context of the state. Based on primary and secondary data and the thematic qualitative analysis, this study builds an argument by analysing discourses of the selected mainstream Muslim organisations that minorities pick strategies for their struggle against majoritarian state and ideology taking their political and other demographical realities into account. Hence, their choices are not static but rather dynamic.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM OF CORRUPTION IN THE WORKS OF ANCIENT THINKERS AND MOVAROUNNAHR SCHOLARS

This article presents an analysis of the problem of corruption as articulated in the works of ancient thinkers and Movarounnahr scholars. Drawing upon the writings of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius, as well as the contributions of Movarounnahr scholars including Avicenna, Al-Farabi, and Al-Biruni, the analysis offers a multidisciplinary exploration of the ethical and sociopolitical dimensions of corruption within diverse cultural and historical contexts.The analysis reveals recurring themes and nuanced variations in the conceptualization of corruption, shedding light on the enduring relevance of ancient insights to contemporary discussions of governance, ethics, and societal well-being. Emphasizing the ethical imperatives of virtuous leadership, the cultivation of moral character, and the establishment of resilient institutions, the works of these thinkers and scholars offer valuable perspectives that continue to inform efforts to address corruption and uphold the ideals of just and virtuous societies.

DEFINING LEADERSHIP: FRANCES HESSELBEIN’S GIFT TO US

AbstractThe author, a writer and editor and pioneer in the field known as knowledge services, writes about his friendship with Frances Hesselbein. “She liked,” the author writes, “that my career was in knowledge services – as a consultant, author, and teacher – and she liked connecting that with her work in leadership.” The author is a longtime educator, and “Frances had strong expectations about how young people move into their roles as our future leaders. As a result, she had a passionate interest in working with young people simply because it was how she thought.” She suggested, in 2016, that she and the author would do a conference, “Leadership Imperatives for Millennials,” about leadership and knowledge for the students, held at Frances’ New York office. She was the keynote speaker, and the students’ “reactions were nothing short of phenomenal (in fact, the word ‘mesmerizing’ came up many times as they described the conference).”

Leaders of future-ready learners in the Singapore education system: perceptions, roles and implications

ABSTRACT This paper aims to present the research findings on the perceptions, roles and implications of school leadership in the Singapore education system in relation to preparing students to be future-ready. This is an exploratory study that deploys a qualitative methodology. Data is collected through structured and semi-structured questions designed to elicit responses from school leaders undergoing leadership training. Data collected are coded and analysed. Broad emerging themes are presented as findings in response to three research questions. There is no single definition of what it means for school leaders as “leaders of future-ready learners in the 21st C”. It comprises a multi-faceted concept of leadership imperatives in six broad areas of knowledge, competencies, and skills. These areas inform school leaders on the adaptations they need to consider in undertaking their roles as leaders of future-ready learners. The findings are informative and affirmative for aspiring and incumbent school leaders on what it takes for them to be “leaders of future-ready learners in the 21st C” in the Singapore Education system.

ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP: BRIDGING PRACTICES WITH CONTEXT FOR SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES IN THE NIGERIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

This paper discussed the role of adaptive leadership in advancing sustainable outcomes within the Nigerian education system. The literature review centered on the usefulness and imperatives of adaptive leadership in strengthening work and partnership ties, enhancing trust and collaboration, and fostering shared commitment and responsibilities toward developing sustainable behaviour in the Nigerian education system. The path-goal theory was adopted in demonstrating the responsibility of the leader in ensuring involvement and in effectively channelling the capacities of institutions toward addressing existing gaps in the curricula and content of tertiary institutions, particularly such concerned with the sustainability behaviour of these institutions; that way enhancing the relevance and value of related institutions within their societies and context. The reviews served is a premise for affirming that adaptive leadership enhances the systemic behaviour of tertiary institutions – increasing learning, collaboration, and receptivity toward change and facilitating sustainable outcomes.

I am grateful for that opportunity and would like to share some of those thoughts with readers of the Monitor. First, in my talk I described the irony of being asked to give my address at the beginning of my year as President, rather than the end. I hope that this irony does not turn into what in literature is called a Greek tragedy. But I am confident that with the other superb leaders in ASA, and all of you, we will come through.

Reshaping University Continuing Education: Leadership Imperatives for Thriving in a Changing and Competitive Market

ABSTRACT University continuing and distance education is at a crossroads. This article asserts that a radical disruption in the competitive landscape for university-based continuing education (CE) is on the immediate horizon. University CE is threatened by external trends beyond its control and will likely not survive in its present form, or survive at all, without adapting to the changing marketplace. This disruption is occurring at the same time and is partially due to the increasing university demands on CE units to produce more income in part by scaling new markets and increasing customers in new ways. The signals and drivers of that change will be detailed, followed by a description of the competitive landscape that university CE will soon face. Universities will experience barriers in combating this competition, which, if not overcome, will spell the decline of many CE units and disruptions will also manifest themselves into major problems for the university as a whole. This article concludes with recommendations for CE and university leaders that may allow them to thrive and prosper as a part of that dynamic landscape.

The Shadow Pandemic of Alcohol Use during COVID-19: A Canadian Health Leadership Imperative.

Increased alcohol consumption among Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our health systems in the short and longer term, through increased hospitalizations due to alcohol-related illness, addiction, violence and accidents. The increased stress due to involuntary unemployment, confinement and boredom during the pandemic has led to an escalation in alcohol use. It is imperative that policy makers recognize and address the inherently conflicting roles of provincial/territorial governments as regulators/retailers of alcohol and funders of healthcare and prioritize the development and implementation of an evidence-based framework to mitigate the increased population health risks of alcohol-related harms.

Amit Mukherjee: seven principles shaping digital strategy and leadership

Purpose In his new book, Leading in the Digital World: How to Foster Creativity, Collaboration and Inclusiveness, MIT leadership expert, Amit S. Mukherjee identifies seven principles that together help to define the new context for work, organization and leadership. Design/methodology/approach The seven principles offer a valuable template for corporate leaders everywhere seeking to understand the new leadership imperatives of the digital age and why the new era “calls for a new kind of leader – one who emphasizes creativity, collaboration and inclusivity.” Findings Today, discovering and serving unpredicted, unmet needs creates great customer value. A group that can draw on a multitude of lived experiences is more likely to uncover those than a cloistered, self-aggrandizing one. Practical implications The digital world requires executives to have a true collaboration instinct because, typically, no group possesses all the intellectual property necessary to accomplish creative, mission-critical tasks. Originality/value Amit Mukherjee’s seven principles offer a new set of insights into the shaping of emerging digital strategy and leadership. The message for leaders: Recognize that in the digital world you must primarily be the connector of people and ideas, not their approver or decider

Editor's Notes

This special issue of assessment Update profiles recipients of the 2018 Excellence in Assessment (EIA) designation: Bowie State University, Harper College, Mississippi State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Each of these institutions successfully integrates assessment practices across campus, provides evidence of student learning outcomes, and uses assessment results to guide institutional decision-making and improve student performance. More information about the EIA designation is available at the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) website (http://learningoutcomesassessment.org/eiadesignationoverview.html) and is included in Gianina Baker's NILOA Perspectives column on page 12. The five 2018 EIA honorees join a roster of fifteen other institutions who were prior recipients of the EIA designation in 2016 and 2017. Collectively, these colleges and universities demonstrate exemplary commitment to and leadership for assessment excellence. I look forward to focusing more fully on each of these five topics in Editor's Notes throughout the remainder of 2019 in Assessment Update. I also invite you to share with me specific examples of these Leadership Imperatives from your own context. Please send your ideas and feedback to shundley@iupui.edu.
