Latest Issue of Turner College's Servant Leadership Journal Released

The latest issue of the Turner College's academic journal, Servant Leadership Theory & Practice, was released earlier today. In announcing the issue's release, editor Kevin Hurt of the Turner College's management faculty, announced that the journal will be published in an online format going forward. Until now, it has appeared in hybrid format (i.e., both print and online). Articles in this issue of the journal include one by Andrea Lumpkin and Stephanie Jones, both of Texas Tech University, that, as described by Hurt, "state[s] that university department chairs have a great potential to positively impact faculty, staff, and students; while also noting that many university department chairs lack the experience and preparation for the numerous roles and responsibilities (e.g., personnel management, budget and resource management, development of a culture and climate, dealing with change and advancement, etc.) that they are expected to fulfill. The authors provide guidance and specific approaches to help Chairs fulfill their obligations successfully and effectively." The second article, by Jae Webb of the University of North Texas, is described by Hurt as "highlight[ing] the deficiencies of the prevailing strategies (e.g., increased regulations, greater oversight, stricter punishments, development of cognitive and moral reasoning skills) to address corporate misconduct. In his article, Webb discusses three ethical safeguards present in the philosophy of servant leadership that are likely to serve as more effective deterrents to corporate misconduct." Lastly, an article by Jeffrey Coats of Appalachian State University reviews the life of Lyndon Baines Johnson and makes a case that the former United States President was a servant leader. As Hurt explains, "Coats examines the former President’s characteristics, connecting them to four servant led characteristics identified by Spears (2010): empathy, conceptualization, awareness, and commitment to the growth of others. Coats contends that Lyndon B. Johnsons’ characteristics fueled the decisions and programs developed during his presidency, which resulted in the betterment of American lives . . . then and now." This issue, Volume 11, Number 1, is available online. Turner Business commends Professor Hurt for his work on this publication.
