Sarah Marshall and Anne Hornak have done a magnificent job
exploring diverse contexts in which college students expand their
individual leadership capacity and learn and practice engaging in
relational leadership with others. These cases are realistic
because they were gathered from their interviews with real students
engaging in leadership. From whatever perspective, students can
learn that they are doing leadership when they work with others to
address shared issues, solve shared problems, and work toward
positive change. from the Foreword by Susan R. KomivesThis book
presents over 230 case studies that reflect typical issues faced by
undergraduate student leaders. The scenarios cover the range of
functional areas of student life.These cases are intended for use
by faculty and student affairs professionals as training tools for
new student leaders who generally receive little preparation before
assuming their positions. Cases provide an opportunity for students
to roleplay and discuss scenarios before they encounter potentially
similar events in their daily lives as leaders; engage students
intensely in their learning, as they work through the issues and
problems; and promote meaningful dialogue and discussion of
relevant theory.The cases are based on real life dilemmas, and
reflect both contemporary and historical campus issues. They are
derived from interviews with 110 undergraduates and 11 student
affairs administrators from large public research institutions,
small privates, community colleges, and mid-sized comprehensive
schools.The book begins with guidance on how to use case studies
effectively, and on how to incorporate theory in analyzing them.
The cases are then grouped into chapters, each of which focuses on
a particular type of student organization. The cases vary in length
to allow for multiple uses. Shorter cases can be role played and
discussed in leadership training workshops, while longer cases can
be used as take home assignments or debated during longer training
sessions. The book concludes with general advice for student
leaders. To assist with the facilitation process, the authors
provide discussion questions to begin the analysis of each case.
The cases are written broadly enough to allow for a variety of
possible solutions."
