| Abstract: | This research focused on enhancing leadership instruction in colleges of agriculture. A multi-institutional research team initiated a program to teach agricultural and natural resource faculty how to create leadership-oriented case studies for undergraduates. Forty faculty members participated in an online training academy centered on Bolman and Deal's Organizational Frames and case study writing. Following the academy, these faculty members participated in field experiences in the southeastern U.S. to gather data on natural disasters, which they used to write case studies about leadership in agriculture. Though the program focused on organizational leadership, it also discussed leadership in the context of natural disasters. The study aimed to analyze how the faculty depicted crisis leadership competencies in their case studies, comparing their identified leadership frames with those from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's crisis competency leadership model. The findings explored the intersection of these models and provided recommendations for future research to offer a more holistic view of leadership for students. |
