“…This brought to light the potential impact on leadership of research and intervention carried out from the perspective of Jungian analytical psychology-where "Leaders are at the same time individuals, representatives of a group, and expressions of a collective unconscious phenomenon" [113] (p. 38). In fact, to the extent that this articulation and integration is fostered between the different levels of the psychosocial leadership process, the guidelines for the sustainable management of training and performance become clear, especially for women [85,114].…”

“…Lastly, it must be highlighted that the approach adopted here appeals to the unique, innovative qualities that women as leaders are able to contribute in favor of sustainability [85]; i.e., it is optimal management that caters to the individual and the group both in the present and with a view to the future [86]. Specifically, the comprehensive self-knowledge proposed by this research shares three principles of sustainable education [87].…”

“…The limitations of this study-such as the nature and size of the sample-also suggest possible paths to initiate new research on heroism in leadership from the perspective of analytical psychology. Although we focused our research on women as emerging leaders, this does not mean we ignore the fact that this reality is affected by gender inequalities and tensions [85]; rather, our findings are an invitation to go deeper into the joint analysis of men and women (collectively, individually, unconsciously, and consciously), a line of research supported by promising incipient evidence [43].…”

In heroism, leadership research has a myth that provides the basis for a deeper exploration of the characteristics of the unconscious (collective, personal) and consciousness of leaders—characteristics that can mobilize their followers. This contribution goes on to show that heroism can provide a foundation that foments the creativity of women leaders—from a sustainable standpoint—with the purpose of jointly analyzing aspects of the collective unconscious (heroism), the personal unconscious (psychological typology), and consciousness (self-descriptions, values) in a sample of women emerging as leaders. The participants in the study were 34 students following a Master’s program oriented towards training future CEOs as leaders, aged between 22 and 38 years old (M = 27.22 years old; SD = 3.77). The instruments consisted of a story that each participant wrote about herself as the main heroine; the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI); the Twenty-Statement Test (TST); and a questionnaire on personal values. The main results show the common structure of the stories of personal heroism, as well as the characteristics (unconscious, conscious, personal, and collective) that can serve to foster the sustainable use of personal creativity. The research carried out provides knowledge that may be integrated into other perspectives of leadership analysis.

“…In particular, Otelia Lee (2010, p. 262) recognizing the lack of diversity training, argued that social workers must be prepared to respond to the changing needs of a culturally diverse clientele. Despite the recognition of self-confidence as the fundamental basis from which leadership grows (Barrett, 2006), the cornerstone of leadership (Bartz, Bartz, & Doctor, 2017), recent studies revealed a lack of its development in students what reduces the probability of trying difficult leadership tasks (Kouzes & Posner, 2008) and impedes leadership development (Shinbrot, Wilkins, Gretzel, & Bowser, 2019). So, students' low self-confidence might be one of the reasons for a generally low level of leadership skills.…”

The importance of leadership is discussed widely in the social work literature. However, little is known about the leadership skills of social work students and factors affecting their development in the environment specific to higher educational institutions (HEIs). This research aimed to find out what skills pre-service social work students had related to leadership and to determine if significant differences existed in terms of such predictor variables as level and form of study, employment status, and involvement in co-curricular activities. The research employed the quantitative approach based on a descriptive cross-sectional survey involving a sample of 158 social work students from three Ukrainian universities. The research group consisted of 88% female and 12% male respondents, aged between 19 and 31. Data were obtained through the Student Leadership Outcomes Inventory, which contained 60 items measuring skills on 8 scales: (a) self-management, (b) interpersonal communication, (c) problem-solving and decision-making, (e) cognitive development and critical analysis, (f) organization and planning, (g) self-confidence, (h) diversity awareness, and (h) technology which served as outcome variables. All items were rated along a 5-point Likert scale, from poor (1) to excellent (5). The results of the research revealed lower than average levels of leadership skills and existing significant differences by outcome variables for the sample population. The findings suggest the need to strengthen the leadership skills of social work students through the implementation of formal and informal developmental activities and recognition of leadership participation within the social work curriculum. Keywords: descriptive cross-sectional survey, leadership development, leadership skills, pre-service social work students, social work.

The lack of optimal woman participation in the digital era does not only occur at the Indonesia level but also at the global level. This becomes a problem because it is considered a form of gender inequality. The issue of inequality highlights the differences in competence, time, finance and several other ideal concepts. Organizational culture of sharing is an organizational culture based on Indonesian local wisdom which can have a balancing role for the women's community in the digital era. To avoid the dilemma over the next generation as the trouble maker and the weakness of family resilience, we can incorporate the slogan of a COI (Comunity of Inquiry) formulation. It may open the doors for the growth of intellectual and moral value harmony in the digital era. The present study utilized the Policy Research approach which is defined as a type of research that seeks to investigate the fundamental social problems that happen in the community The findings of the research are expected to add new information to decision-makers so that they can act practically in solving the problems.Keywords: Women's Community, Local Wisdom, Community of Inquiry AbstrakKurangnya partisipasi perempuan yang optimal di era digital tidak hanya terjadi di Indonesia tetapi juga di tingkat global.
