“…Extending HRD's knowledge base within the leadership domain by including more integrated and multilevel theories of leadership, contributes to the scholars and scholar-practitioners toolbox as called for by Tkachenko and Ardichvili (2017). The current article answers these calls by expanding HRD's knowledge base to include the SIMOL theory, which would increase HRD's list of theories available to scholars and scholar-practitioners in the category of collective leadership theories.…”

The Problem Leadership is commonly represented as being an individual construct with characteristics, competencies, and traits that identify the individual. Leadership development interventions are also framed around the individual leader. Leadership needs to account for the perceptions and identities of all group members. This includes a leader who is a prototype of both the in-group and out-group members. The Solution Leadership development efforts could be designed to account for the different identities of all members involved, producing a representative prototypical leader. Implementing the social identity model of organizational leadership (SIMOL) theory could be the catalyst that furthers human resource development (HRD)’s efforts of providing a new Worldview of Leadership as called for by McLean and Beigi, one that is all inclusive of its membership. The Stakeholders Considering the SIMOL theory, HRD scholars and scholar-practitioners could offer new perspectives when viewing the leader-group dynamics and leadership development.

“…Additional calls have been found in the literature. For example, Yawson [9] highlighted the need to re-conceptualize complexity theory for one's discipline and noted that a conversation needs to occur within each discipline (see also [84]). Theorizing within the social sciences to examine social systems' need to branch out to complexity thinking as a way of incorporating different epistemologies or thought-universes, Jayanti [80] (p. 110) stated the following: "it may be necessary to create entirely new models to more fully over-come the limits of Newtonian assumptions."…”

Systems theory has been challenged in the recent literature due to its perceived disconnection from today’s research and practice demands. Moving away from the reductionist frameworks and the complicated domain predominated by known unknowns and order, a call is being made to the social sciences to begin adopting complexity theory and newer connectionist methods that better address complexity and open social systems. Scholars and scholar-practitioners will continue to find the need to apply complexity theory as wicked problems become more prevalent in the social sciences. This paper differentiates between general systems theory (GST) and complexity theory, as well as identifies advantages for the social sciences in incorporating complexity theory as a formal theory. Complexity theory is expanded upon and identified as providing a new perspective and a new method of theorizing that can be practiced by disciplines within the social sciences. These additions could better position the social sciences to address the complexity associated with advancing technology, globalization, intricate markets, cultural change, and the myriad of challenges and opportunities to come.

“…Finally, an enactivist might ask Team Bernardino to examine the structure of its human activity system (Tkachenko & Ardichvili, 2017) based on socio-cultural theory. Activity theory analyzes interactions among instruments (tools, signs), a subject, the sense-making made of an object of focus, implicit or explicit rules of operation, division of labor, and the community itself.…”

The Problem While reflection is central to adult learning processes and theories, its meaning and definitions vary. Authors approach reflection from different perspectives and assumptions. The Solution This article is a conceptual map to guide the reader through key definitions and perspectives discussed in upcoming articles. We provide a compass for reflection, critical reflection, reflective practice, and how these terms apply to learning from experience, meaning-making, and action in the workplace. We also show how different perspectives or lenses can impact a human resource development (HRD) practitioner’s approach to reflection and present several studies looking at reflection and reflective practices. The Stakeholders This article should help HRD practitioners and others engaged in supporting workplace learning to gain clarity about how to conceptualize reflection and reflective practices and become familiar with the different ways reflection is understood by authors of upcoming articles.
