Efficacious leadership styles will contribute to cultural change. Senior management’s interactions with frontline leadership and followers create a cultural footprint. This will differentiate one organization from another and establish internal boundaries for management and follower interactions. Crime scene professionals are tasked with stressors unique to their amplified exposure to critical incidents over a career and the attention to detail required to accomplish the job demands. Leadership must recognize the specialized needs of these professionals and create an organizational structure laced with servant leaders and not simply managers and policymakers.</p> Andrew J.

This paper describes three case studies, all of which are aimed at increasing student employability during and after the completion of academic credentials at a university with open admissions that champions access to higher education among underserved populations. In case one, the goal was to bridge disciplines by developing a credential that would be relevant within multiple industries. Case two focused on aligning the content of a credential with industry certifications to prepare students to enter their chosen field of study more easily. In the final case, an industry certificate was incorporated into an academic program to support students’ entry into their chosen field before completing their degree. Lessons learned and next steps are discussed in the context of employability theory. </p> Michelle Dennis, Joyce Ellis, Susan Zukowski, Robin Butler Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Leadership, Accountability and Ethics https://articlegateway.com/index.php/JLAE/article/view/7518 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0500 For the Greater Good: Unequal Sacrifices https://articlegateway.com/index.php/JLAE/article/view/7519 <p>The case presents a realistic business scenario in which economic turbulences financially challenge a global aviation player, shining light on the financial interdependence between parent and subsidiary. The students slip into the role of an upper management sales leader with an accounting background working for a subsidiary of the aviation group. Despite record profits, he faces strictly enforced cost reduction measures mandated by the parent. Based on public events during the early 2020 COVID response, the case combines example financial statements and public sources to create a real business scenario for the students to analyze.</p> Trish Driskill, April Poe, Steffen Stadler Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Leadership, Accountability and Ethics https://articlegateway.com/index.php/JLAE/article/view/7519 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0500
