Mountains of Metaphors: Lessons in Leadership Amid Crisis
Gonzaga University
Published in the Winter 2020 Gonzaga magazine. Compiled by Kate Vanskike. Photos by Kyle Denton.
In May 2019, a dozen School of Leadership Studies graduates set out on an extraordinary expedition after months of preparation. What was intended as a “retreat” turned into an exercise in crisis response. Led by Adrian Popa, Ph.D., associate professor of organizational leadership, all returned safely, with lifelong wisdom gained the hard way.Other authorsSee publication -

On the Edge: Emerging Trends in the Field of Organizational Theory
2019 Gonzaga Student Leadership Symposium
ABSTRACT: Emerging trends in the field of Organizational Theory continue to blend frameworks cross conceptual borders, as new methods shape the landscape for future development and varied, critical, nuanced, and holistic understandings. These boundaries continue to shape and shift as researchers and organizations incorporate processual, information-based, constructed, poly-paradigmatic, longitudinally-aligned, and/or globalized concepts into their contexts. This interactive discussion panel…
ABSTRACT: Emerging trends in the field of Organizational Theory continue to blend frameworks cross conceptual borders, as new methods shape the landscape for future development and varied, critical, nuanced, and holistic understandings. These boundaries continue to shape and shift as researchers and organizations incorporate processual, information-based, constructed, poly-paradigmatic, longitudinally-aligned, and/or globalized concepts into their contexts. This interactive discussion panel will incorporates mixed presentation methods to engage the audience and panel members in a dialogue on the future of research.
While noted experts posit that the future-state of research will span from the individual to global domains, key themes converge on the transition from structures to processes, including the increasing absence or permeability of boundaries (Scott & Davis, 2016). Likewise, organizational learning continues to take center stage as knowledge work becomes a central occupational role, highlighting the increase in distributed phenomena (Hatch, 2013). Learning from contemporary sociocultural focal points such as sustainability, corporate social responsibility, diversity, and branding takes the focus on organizational identity construction to a prominent role (Hatch, 2013).
Identity construction and sense-making cover a spectrum from an individual to organizational level; and will open up to research that transitions from the monocultural realm to multicultural and international (Scott & Davis, 2016; Martin, 2002). Between these transitions, boundaries will continue to be deconstructed as researchers investigate ways to grasp with centralization and localization, at the same time that cultural artifacts cease to coincide with national boundaries and organizations take on virtual forms through new media focused on knowledge management (Hatch, 2013; Scott & Davis, 2016; Martin, 2002).Other authors -
PSNS&IMF earns certification for fiber optics training program
Salute, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility,
The future of U.S. Navy ships, particularly the Virginia-, Ford- and Columbia-class vessels, includes the use and integration of fiber optics on multiple systems. At Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility, the workforce will be maintaining and repairing those systems, as well as retrofitting existing ships with the latest fiber optic technologies. To that end, a group led by PSNS & IMF was certified Feb. 8 by Naval Sea Systems Command 05W, Warfare Systems Engineering, to…
The future of U.S. Navy ships, particularly the Virginia-, Ford- and Columbia-class vessels, includes the use and integration of fiber optics on multiple systems. At Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility, the workforce will be maintaining and repairing those systems, as well as retrofitting existing ships with the latest fiber optic technologies. To that end, a group led by PSNS & IMF was certified Feb. 8 by Naval Sea Systems Command 05W, Warfare Systems Engineering, to conduct Navy Shipboard Fiber Optics Training. Earning this training certification allows PSNS & IMF and NAVSEA to save an estimated $14 million over a five-year period by conducting fiber optics training in house. A team from several NAVSEA activities worked for 19 months to develop the training program. The team was comprised of training and repair experts from PSNS & IMF; Portsmouth Naval Shipyard; Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility; Norfolk Naval Shipyard; Shipyard Instructional Design Center at Norfolk Naval Shipyard; Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren; NAVSEA and Trident Refit Facility, Bangor. ...

Leadership in Turbulent Times: Experiential Leadership to Encounter a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous World
2018 Gonzaga Student Leadership Symposium
With technological advancements happening at a rapid rate, the world has become consistently more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). Since the second industrial revolution, research shows that education systems are trying but unable to equip students for success in today's global landscape (Marx, 2014; Wagner, 2015). Global mindset, identified as a needed capacity to succeed in this globalized world, is defined by Rhinesmith (1995) as a philosophical mindset rather than a given…
With technological advancements happening at a rapid rate, the world has become consistently more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). Since the second industrial revolution, research shows that education systems are trying but unable to equip students for success in today's global landscape (Marx, 2014; Wagner, 2015). Global mindset, identified as a needed capacity to succeed in this globalized world, is defined by Rhinesmith (1995) as a philosophical mindset rather than a given skill-set, and has been investigated by various authors (Gupta and Govindarajan, 2002; Levy, Beechler, Taylor, & Boyacigiller, 2007). This mindset compels individuals to actively discern and engage globally through learning. Globalization is impacting education, but the question remains, can education create change-makers to impact global leadership? Through a series of interviews with international students, this project examines how experiential education may contribute to developing global mindset capacity to operate in a VUCA world.
