The treasure of the Black experience at a Historically Black
College/University (HBCU) is that it offers a personal and intimate
experience rooted in Black heritage that cannot be found at other
institutions. On campus, face-to-face instruction and activities
focused on addressing issues that plague the Black community are
paramount. This provides students with small classroom environments
and the personal support from administrators, faculty, and staff.
In March 2020, the Black experience was interrupted when a global
pandemic forced governors to declare states of emergencies and
mandate stay-at-home orders. The stay-at-home orders forced
universities to transition into fully remote environments. Doing so
heightened an array of emotions compounded by the reality of
previously recognized disparities in resources and funding amongst
higher education institutions. As a result of this abrupt
transformation, the HBCU experience was impacted by positive and
negative implications for Black people at the campus, local, state,
and national levels. The Black Experience and Navigating Higher
Education Through a Virtual World explores the reality of the Black
experience from various perspectives involving higher education
institutions with a focus on HBCUs. The book provides an overview
and analysis of a virtual experience that goes beyond the
day-to-day technological implications and exposes innovative ideas
and ways of navigating students and faculty through a remote world.
It focuses on heightening the awareness of disparities through the
Black experience in a virtual environment, provides guidance on
transitioning to fully remote environments, examines leadership
dynamics in virtual environments, analyzes mental health balance,
and examines implications on the digital divide. Covering topics
such as online course delivery, self-health, and social justice,
this book is essential for graduate students, academicians,
diversity officers in the academy, professors, and researchers.
Toxic behavior is on the rise in public safety organizations,
businesses, politics, and churches, to name a few. Faced with
unprecedented circumstances, there is a need to better understand
leader/follower interdependence when destructive leaders are at the
helm making harmful decisions. Toxic followership begins with the
pioneering spirit of a trusted individual who, through creative
manipulation, transforms our mindset whereby we can so easily
become an extension of a toxic leader's moral decay. There is a
myth that the Jonestown tragedy is a distant episode in history
that can only happen in certain environments with people unlike
oneself. The survivor's stories are reminders that without
understanding the framework of toxic followership, the unsuspecting
targets are prey, available for consumption by a leader with
liquidated morals. This book is for those who desire to gain
insight into the leader/follower dynamic in order to serve others
by unmasking the dangers of toxic followership, provide prevention
suggestions, and reveal followers' power, even in desperate
situations.
When Leadership Fails is a multidisciplinary resource for
researchers and practitioners. As a curated selection of unique,
scholar-practitioner reflections from around the world, this
collection highlights both the universal impact of leaders behaving
badly and the communal triumph that emerges from deconstructing
these experiences in aggregate. In addition to expert insight into
these leadership and organizational challenges, readers benefit
from the application of empirical and theoretical research for
analysis and interpretation. Readers will gain a deeper
understanding of the individual, group and organizational
implications of negative leadership encounters in the workplace.
Readers will find value in the immediate application of these
lessons to their own careers and organizations.
