Accelerating the impact of leadership education: a call to action

Jeff Ching-Fan Lai, Gordon Louie, Arpita Sarker and Sherry K. Watt

Chapter 34 in Handbook on Leadership Education and Impact, 2025, pp 434-440 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This call-to-action chapter offers an applied synthesis of what it means to accelerate the impact of leadership education through the theory of Being, an approach built on 20+ years of empirical and conceptual research. This chapter offers humanizing ways to deepen understandings of “how” to prepare, to embody, and to take action as leaders. While accelerating the utility of leadership education can happen through broadened understandings of the evidence, practices, and theories that inform practice, we posit that the field embrace practices that allow for the necessary space and time for mindful preparation and reflection. This necessarily begins with the simple act of pausing.
