THE POWER OF CONVERSATIONS FROM THE EDITOR The Power of Conversations Dr. Douglas Lindsay, Editor in Chief, JCLD We have conversations every day. Some are perfunctory and others are much more intentional. What we often fail to realize, is the profound impact a conversation can have. It is often upon reflection, if we allow ourselves that opportunity, where we synthesize and understand the influence of those conversations. In fact, many of us can think back in our lives to critical conversations that we had with a parent, coach, mentor, boss, friend, etc., that had a direct and lasting impact on our lives. All because someone took the time to talk with us. For leaders, the power of conversations goes well beyond the basic communication of ideas, intent, or expected behavior. It is much deeper than that. It is about things such as making a connection, showing value, allowing transparency, and giving time. What we know about effective leaders is that they take the time to have, and put a priority on conversations. The interesting thing about conversations is that they differentially impact both parties. If we view this from a leadership perspective, it can have important implications. For example, let’s say that a leader is walking down the hallway and passes one of their subordinates. The communication that occurs (and occurs even without words) will have various implications and impact. If the leader walks by and says nothing or fails to even acknowledge the individual, then even with a lack of words, a message is conveyed. If the leader acknowledges the individual, a different message is conveyed. Finally, if the leader stops to engage the individual, even for a brief conversation, that results in a different message. The important thing for leaders, and those learning about leadership, is that in all Dr. Douglas Lindsay is the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Character and Leadership Development (JCLD). Prior to assuming his current role, he was a Professor and the founding Director of the Masters of Professional Studies Program in the Psychology of Leadership at Pennsylvania State University. He also served in the United States Air Force where he retired after a 22-year career, serving in a multitude of roles, including research psychologist, occupational analyst, inspector general, deputy squadron commander, senior military professor, Full Professor, deputy department head and research center director. He has well over 100 publications and presentations on the topic of leadership and leadership development. He received a Bachelor's Degree from the United States Air Force Academy (class of 1992), a Master's Degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Pennsylvania State University.

Why this is important to consider is that directly influenced by the leader. the even short conversations between leaders and followers can have lasting effects that impact the While the leader cannot always control how the leader/follower relationship. message is perceived, they do have more of an impact than they may realize. When we understand that In This Issue leadership is about relationships, and conversation is a way to grow and develop those relationships, the What we hope to do with this issue of the Journal influence that can be had is significant. This influence of Character and Leadership Development (JCLD) can be magnified as the levels between the employee is to give access to leaders, through conversation, to and the leader increase.

    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA CATHERINE ROMA Interviewed by JOYCE FOLLET June 19 and 20, 2005 Northampton, Massachusetts This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2006 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Catherine Roma was born in Philadelphia January 29, 1948, the youngest of three children of Italian-born parents. Her mother completed high school and, once married, was a community volunteer. Her father graduated from Princeton University and Temple Law School, but when his own father died young, he left legal practice to run the family’s barbershops in Philadelphia and other East Coast railroad terminals. Practicing Catholics, Catherine’s parents sent her to Germantown Friends School K-12; she remains a Convinced Friend. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Roma earned a BA in music and an MM in Choral Conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she became involved in socialist-feminist politics and began organizing a feminist choral group in 1974. Returning to Philadelphia the following year to teach music at Abington Friends School, she organized and conducted Anna Crusis, the first feminist women’s choir in the US. In 1983 she undertook the doctorate in musical arts at the University of Cincinnati, where she founded MUSE, the community chorus she continues to lead. Under Roma’s leadership, MUSE is a vital group in what has become a national and international grassroots movement of women’s choruses. MUSE is recognized as a model anti-racist community organization and a progressive force in Cincinnati politics.

In this role Colonel Phillips leads more than 2,600 Airmen, civilians, and contract personnel across four operations groups with 19 squadrons at seven locations worldwide.

  • Defense Reforms the Goldwater-Nichols
    Advance Questions for Honorable Michael L. Dominguez Nominee for Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Defense Reforms The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 and the Special Operations reforms have strengthened the warfighting readiness of our Armed Forces. They have enhanced civilian control and clearly delineated the operational chain of command and the responsibilities and authorities of the combatant commanders, and the role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They have also clarified the responsibility of the Military Departments to recruit, organize, train, equip, and maintain forces for assignment to the combatant commanders. In your responses to advance questions prior to your previous nomination hearing on July 31, 2001, you indicated that "there are dynamics today different from 15 years ago that may warrant review of some provisions [of Goldwater- Nichols], such as the personnel assignment rules and how we select joint specialty officers." You expressed an interest in exploring these issues to ensure the services have "sufficient flexibility in the management of our personnel resources in a joint environment." Based on your experience as the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, are there specific modifications to the Goldwater-Nichols Act for which you see a need? The Goldwater-Nichols Act deserves credit for creating a strong framework for today’s joint warfighting capabilities. Two decades of U.S. military successes bear witness to this. However, while operational jointness has matured, the personnel system for Joint Officer Management has not kept pace. In the Global War on Terrorism, members are integrated within Joint Task Force organizations, serving various tour lengths on a rotational basis.
