Editor's Notes

  • #14: If leadership is a relational and social dynamic then leadership education needs to attend to the requisite knowledge. Learning Community as a construct has been part of educational reform in higher education for decades.
  • #16: Measured through self and values assessment, and other qualitative research methods
  • #23: The world reveals itself to us in multiple ways, and we experience also in multiple ways, which results in multiple ways of knowing or intelligences
