by Dr. Tom Smith and Dr. Pete Allison

Leadership involves many value-based decisions. It is important for leaders to recognize how their personal values and ethics contribute to conflicts and dilemmas

 
 

Outdoor Experiential Leadership

by Dr. Tom Smith and Dr. Pete Allison

"The perplexing problem and critical incidents faced by experiential education leaders often have roots in confusing and conflicting values and ethical orientations. 

Sometimes that confusion and conflict is within the leader, sometimes it is between two leaders, sometimes it is between the leader and the group, and sometimes it is between various members in the group.  Good leadership requires knowing and understanding one's personal values and ethics, and knowing how personal values and ethical orientations of interacting people can impact (positively or negatively) shared experiences.

This book is about the complex value-based decisions, dilemmas, critical incidents, and interaction problems that experiential education leaders face.  The book presents descriptive scenarios of incidents of situations based on reports from leaders in the field. Each scenario ends with the leader involved experiencing confusions, dilemmas, value-conflicts, and perplexities about what to do.  For most of the situations, there is no "right" answer, and leaders will have to use their best judgment to make the call.  There are rarely simple answers to the dilemmas that leaders face in the field;  this is both the curse and the joy of working in experiential education.  Perhaps that is what leadership is all about - reflecting on personal and professional knowledge and values, and then deciding on appropriate action."
