    This book focuses on the impact of teachers’ leadership identity on their pedagogical and class management choices and proposes a new pedagogical framework, leaderful classroom practices which emerged through collective, concurrent, collaborative, and compassionate interactions between the teacher and students. The interdisciplinary aspect of the book appeals to a wide range of readers from different disciplines and gives readers the opportunity to take a moment and reflect on their leadership identity, recognize the limitations of their practices, and adopt a leaderful pedagogy in their respective disciplines. Establishing an open, democratic, and participatory learning environment for all learners is a major leadership responsibility of teachers, and this book demonstrates how to accomplish this mission both in theory and practice.

    As contemporary leadership practices continue to evolve with rapid globalization, the need for leadership education has never been more urgent. Thus, in recent years, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) introduced new initiatives mostly targeting graduate education to foster next-generation global leaders. However, due to Japan’s traditional recruitment system, which pressures students to secure employment even before graduating from university, most students never choose to pursue graduate studies. As a result, these initiatives have failed to bear fruitful results. In this chapter, we share our personal experiences as two Japanese university teachers on how we integrated leadership education into undergraduate-level courses in our distinctly different educational environments and discuss its potential implications for leadership education at the undergraduate level. We utilize a duoethnography method to share our lived experiences through dialogical narratives. As co-authors with similar educational backgrounds, we developed our individual leadership programs in different educational environments. Our experiences show that understanding the various possible leadership philosophies and incorporating insights gained from regular self-reflection, and feedback from students and other stakeholders into an adaptive and evolving program has the potential for effective leadership education at the undergraduate level.

    Rapid globalization has transformed academic institutions around the world. A growing number of universities have embraced internationalization and adopted open and inclusive policies. As a result, expectations from students have also changed. Currently, an increasing number of programs require students not only to be able to communicate across cultures but also to develop intercultural sensitivity and tolerance toward differences. However, in Japan, there appears to be a lack of practical guidelines to help students meet these requirements. Especially, there is a tendency to treat language education and intercultural competence as two separate entities within the Japanese context. Diversity brings both opportunities and challenges in classrooms. When students engage in cross-cultural interactions, they likely encounter tension and conflict arising from misunderstandings and cultural blunders. The present chapter explores two university teachers’ experiences of teaching intercultural competence in English as a foreign language (EFL) courses by utilizing a collaborative autoethnographic approach. Both teachers reflect on their evolution as collaborative leaders and the ways their leadership identities shaped their pedagogical practices. Their autoethnographic accounts reveal that engaging students in building the scaffolding and structure, which treat the English language and intercultural competence as a single, integrated process, can raise students’ understanding of why they need to develop intercultural flexibility when they engage in cross-cultural contact. Furthermore, as students recognize that their voices matter for pedagogical decisions, they may show a deeper appreciation of why intercultural competence matters for language education and how it can be utilized effectively in language classrooms.

    Despite the former prime minister Shinzo Abe's Womenomics initiative in 2013, women in Japan represented only 3.5% of senior government jobs and 9.2% of the corporate sector’s director-level positions and ranked Japan 131st of 153 countries in terms of women’s participation in management roles. These data indicate that policies have fallen short of bridging the gender gap in the workforce as the deep-rooted gender norms in society have persevered. The present study explores the gender disparity from men’s perspectives and demonstrates why there is a need for men to use their position of power in women's empowerment for the intended policies to succeed. The data was obtained through open-ended interviews with six male participants situated in Japan. The participants were asked to reflect on their leadership identities, the privileges their gender and position brought to them, and how they used their position of power to empower women. These findings should raise awareness of the role men can play in bridging the gender gap in the current patriarchal power structure.

    Revisiting our leadership identity each time before we walk into a classroom can give us an opportunity to re-examine what leadership tenets we demonstrate in the classroom and to what extent our leadership practices foster or limit our students’ growth. This book attempts to shed light on the impact of language teachers’ leadership identity on their pedagogical and class management choices. It proposes a new pedagogical framework, Leaderful Classroom Practices which emerge through social, relational, and dynamic interactions between the teacher and students. Establishing an open, democratic, and participatory learning environment for all learners is a major leadership responsibility of teachers, and this book intends to demonstrate how to accomplish this mission both in theory and practice.

    Japanese organizations treat change as an evolutionary phenomenon to maintain harmony and hierarchical organizational structure. However, in the event of adversity, the hierarchical leader-follower dynamics become fluid as the need for collective intelligence arises. Individuals from all levels are mobilized as a unified community for action. This chapter attempts to offer insights into the role of collective intelligence in activating adaptive and collaborative leadership practices at Japanese universities in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter draws on the personal experiences of the author as well as faculty members from various Japanese universities with an emphasis on collective thinking, adaptive and collaborative response to adversity, and the resulting organization-wide learning process.

    The present study aims to test the hypothesis, “University students’ perceptions of leadership are influenced by the deep-rooted gender norms in Japanese society,” and determine the changes in students’ perceptions of leadership and gender upon completing an eight-week action learning program at two comparable private universities. A mixed-methods practical action research design was employed in four upper-intermediate level first-year Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classes (N=107). The data was collected through the materials submitted by the students via the universities’ online learning management system. First, quantitative content analysis was performed to test the hypothesis. Then, the study employed qualitative content analysis to understand the effects of action learning practices on the students’ perceptions of leadership and gender norms. The results showed that integrating leadership and gender awareness content into CLIL courses was effective in helping the students develop an impartial and inclusive perspective of leadership and gender norms. Furthermore, the action learning experience emphasizing critical inquiry through discussions, and presentations enhanced the students’ participation and motivation for their language acquisition.
