“…The study found that Aboriginal participants preferred their coaches to embody less autocratic behaviour than did the non-Aboriginal participants, and that both Aboriginal athletes and coaches reported that having strong communal and kinship ties was of great importance. Malloy and Nilson's findings are similar to those of Nichols' (2004) in that both studies indicated that Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people display different preferences for and ways of leading. Both studies highlighted the fact that leaders, regardless of their specific job description, need to have a strong connection to and support from their community.…”

“…In light of these research findings and the limited success that the NWTAP has had in attempting to develop local aquatics leaders, it is imperative that the leadership approaches used by lifeguards reflect the NWT's communities' cultures and values. Baron's (1995), Malloy and Nilson (1991) and Nichols' (2004) research represent three significant studies that indicate why it is crucial to understand the interplay between culture and leadership. Baron's research focused on cultural management and how it is an important aspect of leadership.…”

“…Taking cultural dimensions of leadership out of business culture and placing them in an Aboriginal setting, Nichols (2004) worked with Native American nurses and found that the nurses' notions of leadership were significantly different in comparison with Euro-American ideologies. The nurses defined leadership as being active within their community as a friend, mother and as a caregiver.…”

Leadership, power and racism: lifeguards’ influences on Aboriginal people’s experiences at a Northern Canadian aquatic facility

Using a Foucauldian and postcolonial lens, this case study examines the ways in which leadership styles used by lifeguards and supported by the structure, rules and regulations at a northern Canadian swimming pool influenced Aboriginal people's experience of the facility. Participant observation, semi-structured interviews and a focus group were used to identify the ways in which Eurocentric lifeguard training, exercises of power, institutional racism and an absence of cultural competency can intersect to influence Aboriginal people's use of a local pool and their considerations of lifeguarding as a potential employment opportunity. On the basis of these findings, the study suggests that the development and implementation of anti-discriminatory policies and procedures for swimming pools and the inclusion of cultural competency teachings in lifeguard training are necessary measures to enhance Aboriginal people's experiences at northern swimming pools, to foster opportunities to become lifeguards and to augment Euro-Canadian lifeguards' capacity to maintain a safe and welcoming aquatic environment in a cross-cultural context.

This paper presents the results of a qualitative, exploratory study of Native American women who served as organizational leaders in human service, educational and health-related agencies. Data were collected through interviews with 13 women. Findings include effects of gender and culture on leadership; motivations to act in a leadership position; challenges to successful leadership; and personal and organizational support to the leadership role.

“…In the Native world, leadership is not sought; rather it is given and then for a prescribed period of time or until a particular result is attained (2009). family bonding is believed to be of greater importance then personal status (Nichols, 2004).…”

Leadership models and community resilience to climate change events: A case study of an Alaskan bush village

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Climate change in the Arctic is happening at twice the rate of the rest of the world. Arctic communities are struggling to survive as the effects of these changes threaten the very fabric of their communities. Resilience to these climate change events is determined by many factors. Communities must be able to act collectively, use local knowledge, have access to financial resources, and participate in the decision making processes. All of these factors are determined by the effectiveness of the leadership models employed to reach specific community goals. ! Climate change events and leadership both occur at the local level. Studying the results produced by different leadership models employed in one Alaskan, Inupiaq village yields important insight into climate change and community resilience. The case study village uses three concurrent leadership styles to build community resilience for three different climate change events. The Native leadership model is being used for emergency preparedness and response to the increasing severity of fall storms and flooding. The rational bureaucratic leadership model is being used to build a protective sea wall to preserve and stabilize the eroding shoreline. The adaptive co-management model is being used to manage failing moose populations. Understanding the key role leadership has played in this community will provide pertinent insights for communities throughout the world suffering the effects of climate change. ! CHAPTER 1 Leadership and Community Resilience to Climate Change Events: A Case Study of an Alaskan Bush Village ! The necessary ingredients for resilience to climate change events are a communityʼs access to capital resources, traditional knowledge and land skills, resource use flexibility, and strong social networks (Pearce, Smit, Duerden, Ford, Goose & Kataoyak, 2010). The research presented in this paper seeks to assess how leadership and decision making power also serve as necessary ingredients in the successful implementation of resilient activities. The effects of climate change unfold at the local
