Brandon W. Kliewer, Ph.D., associate professor of civic leadership in the Staley School of Leadership Studies and Leadership Communication doctoral program, is a guest editor for a new Journal of Leadership Studies symposium entitled Listening: New Horizons in Leadership Theory and Application.
The Journal of Leadership Studies features contributions that bridge the gap between theory and practice, exemplify critical inquiry into contemporary organizational issues, foster interdisciplinary dialogue, and explore leadership’s role in improving organizational practices and human life.
The collection of essays in this symposium creates new opportunities to think about, consider, and apply listening in leadership learning, development, scholarship, and practice. The symposium features these K-State scholars and collaborators:
- What are we Listening For?: Material-Discursive Considerations for Leadership – R.J. Youngblood, assistant director, Academic Achievement Center, adjunct instructor, Staley School of Leadership Studies, and doctoral candidate in Leadership Communication,
- Leadership (And Listening)—As-Practice – Trisha Gott, Ed.D., associate director and assistant professor, Staley School of Leadership Studies
- Coaching, Listening, and Leadership – Andrew Wefald, Ph.D., associate professor, Staley School of Leadership Studies.

- Facilitating Listening for Understanding Through the Use of Stories – Stan Amaladas, Ph.D., associate professor, Baker College Center for Graduate Studies
Kliewer and colleagues’ scholarship advances the broader field of leadership studies and helps to develop the capacity of people and organizations seeking to lead change.
