the rapid assessment approach, the workshop will include three hands-on experiences. the target audience is participants interested

Leadership for Transformation through Deep Thinking
PICAssO (Hotel President) / Session Type: PAnEL dIsCussIOn / Accepted by MIG(s): EduCATIOn, dEVELOPMEnT
this session will present two models of student leadership development programs based on experiential learning within
a global context. presenters will share and compare their curriculum frameworks, program objectives and outcomes, and
program management information.
Transformation through Reflective, Deep, and Creative Questions
building on a brief philosophical grounding of deep level thinking, the presenter will distinguish it from other types of
cognitive processes. the presenter will discuss the steps or process of critical (deep) thinking, examine the general categories
and types of questions that promote deep thinking for transformation, and engage participants in practicing questioning
techniques.

Churning through Emotions to Reach Deep Thinking
when humans have strong negative feelings, they do not think deeply or even rationally—making positive transformation
impossible. the presenter will describe a mediation process that uses storytelling, reframing, reverse questioning, and
monitored interactions to help disputants ally negative emotions, reach a level of deep thinking, and settle differences.

The Leadership Practices of Social Change: Realizing Abundance Amidst Scarcity
VELAzquEz I (Hotel President) / Session Type: wOrKshOP / Accepted by MIG(s): dEVELOPMEnT, PubLIC
the workshop will briefly highlight what has been learned about leadership practices through a seven year research endeavor. Most
of the time will be dedicated to small group work and conversation inviting participants to share their own positive and negative
experiences with reframing discourse, bridging difference, and unleashing human potential in pursuit of social change. the workshop
will use participatory reflective methodologies that generate insight from experience and encourage alternative ways of thinking and
knowing—methodologies that emulate the democratic principles that we have seen underpin the work of social change leadership.

The Power of Followers for Leadership Success
VELAzquEz II (Hotel President) / Session Type: PAPEr PrEsEnTATIOns / Accepted by MIG(s): sChOLArshIP
the two papers draw from existing theories on leadership to highlight the importance of followers for ethical and effective
leadership. while the first paper develops a conceptual framework arguing for the transforming powers of followers
regarding leadership (“transforming followership”), the second paper shows the importance of follower perceptions of leader
trustworthiness for a number of outcomes.
