Authentic Leadership in College Sports
Jun 11, 2007
Recent concerns about the integrity, openness and transparency of leadership in business, politics, and law enforcement is spurring on new research into a framework of authentic leadership. Few empirical studies, however, have tested this theory's constructs at the individual, group or organizational level. To fill this gap, this paper proposes to study the variables that might affect the perceptions that head coaches have concerning the authentic leadership of athletic directors.

Why Futures Studies Needs a Theory Base
Aug 4, 2006
studying the futureFutures studies witnessed enormous gains in the 1990s by defining its knowledge base. To achieve further disciplinary rigor now, it must define its theory base through middle range analysis. I just wrote a journal article containing this premise.

Polling Editors & Agents

What are editors and agents looking for in writers? What cues do they use to judge whether their work is creative? Recently my wife and I polled editors and agents on how they evaluate writers during pitch meetings. Here are the results of the survey.

Papers
Self-Sacrificial Leadership & Islam?
Mar 24, 2006
Since the prophet Muhammad cartoon protests arose, various Christian leaders have called Islam a violent religion led by fanatics. Could Evangelical rhetoric be widening Huntington's 'clash of civilizations' between an Islamic civilization and Western civilization? Are evangelicals itching for a civilizational fight, as Hoover asks? Recently I presented a paper to the American Academy of Religion. Here is the abstract, an excerpt, the conclusion and references.

Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow
Aug 18, 2003
What causes someone to think about tomorrow's possibilities, rather than yesterday's shadows? In this essay, I share my story of how I set out to serve the purposes of God in this generation, only to learn that the task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.


Papers
Interviewing High Hope Leaders
Oct 4, 2005
There is an increased emphasis in psychology today on defining and measuring positive constructs such as optimism and hope. Yet a majority of the research in hope theory has come from the quantitative paradigm. Given that hope is largely intentional in nature, I recently wrote a proposal describing how I would conduct a qualititative study to understand hope from the interior perspective of leaders. Read about The Hope Scale and how more opened ended interview questions might further complement our understanding of personal goal-setting.


Papers
Visionary Leadership in World Futures
Sep 11, 2005
Can historical studies of leaders, informed by biographical research methods and visionary leadership research, help non-governmental leaders sharpen their approach to the human and planetary challenges facing the 21st century? I just wrote a journal article that compares and contrasts the leadership of two leaders from the early 20th century, H.G. Wells with John R. Mott. Discover why visionary leadership involves challenging the process, inspiring a vision and enabling others to act.


Papers
The Future of Business as Mission
Jan 24, 2007
Over the past ten years a Business as Mission emphasis has been developing in world missions. This strategy calls for Christian entrepreneurs to relocate to developing countries and launch new business enterprises that might transform local communities, both physically and spiritually. Recently I presented a paper on this movement, arguing that its micro and meso-level strategy need a macro-strategy of societal transformation for the 21st century.
