This document discusses the nature vs. nurture debate around leadership abilities. It presents research that suggests there may be a genetic component to transformational leadership traits and that genetics can play a role in predicting those who attain leadership positions. However, it also argues that leadership should still be viewed as a skill that can be developed. It then profiles several contemporary leaders and notes possible genetic connections or family histories related to their leadership paths. This raises questions about whether such connections are merely coincidental or indicate genetics may influence leadership tendencies. More research is needed to fully understand the interplay between nature and nurture in leadership development.
While terrorism continues to make headlines around the world, some researchers have suggested that terrorists are mentally ill and have used labels such as psychopathic or sociopathic, narcissistic, paranoid and schizophrenic. Others have argued that there is no evidence to indicate that they are mentally ill, disordered, psychopathic or otherwise psychologically abnormal.
The Royal's Dr. AG Ahmed, Dr. Wadgy Loza and Dr. Pius Adesanmi discuss research findings and reflect on the new meanings and manifestations of terrorism and extremism in Canada and around the world.

In this webinar, you will …
* Learn the meaning of self-leadership. * Understand that self-leadership is for everyone.* Grasp the concepts of self-motivation, emotional control, moral wisdom and ethics.
The concept of whether emotional intelligence contributes to entrepreneurial success has been explored. The emotional intelligence skills examined were intrapersonal skills, the ability to recognize and manage one’s emotions, and interpersonal skills, and the ability to recognize emotions and their effect on others. The findings from the studies analyzed in the literature verify that a high level of emotional intelligence has a positive and significant impact on personal and business relationships.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. “The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are
born – that there is a genetic factor to leadership.
This myth asserts that people simply either have certain
charismatic qualities or not.
That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are
made rather than born.”
Warren Bennis
4. Research Question
• Can the leadership gene
become a valid hypothesis
through anecdoctal evidence
and current scientific research?
• Is there a genetic leadership
gene?
• Is there a connection between
one’s DNA and leadership?
5.
6. Transformational Leadership Linked to
Genetics
• Chaturvedi and Christoforou (2011) conducted a study that
linked transformational leadership to genetics.
• The authors posited there was an overlap of genetic factors
linking transformational leadership.
7. Genes do influence the differences in people
• A study conducted at Case Western Reserve University
revealed:
• that genes do influence the differences among people
• the genetic makeup of a person may influence
• what jobs are selected
• a work ethic or drive.
40% of the variation among incomes could
be attributable to genetics.
8. “A specific DNA sequence has been significantly
associated with the likelihood that an individual
is linked with a leadership position, according to
a study, published in Leadership Quarterly.”
(University College London (UCL), 2013)
9. Still a skill, but perhaps a genetic indicator
• "Although leadership should still be
thought of predominantly as a skill
to be developed, genetics - in
particular the rs4950 genotype -
can also play a significant role in
predicting who is more likely to
occupy leadership roles."
10.
11. Entrepreneurial Leader
“Entrepreneurial leadership is
organizing a group of people to achieve
a common goal using proactive
entrepreneurial behavior by optimising
risk, innovating to take advantage of
opportunities, taking personal
responsibility and managing change
within a dynamic environment for the
benefit of the organisation.”
(Roebuck, 2011)
12. Richard Branson
Follow your passions
Do some good.
Believe in your business
Have fun
Don't give up.
Listen more and talk less.
Make room for personal time through delegation.
Go out and meet people.
Communicate among all levels of your company.
Be happy.
16. Charismatic Leadership
Inspirational Motivation is what charismatic
leaders are noted for:
their ability to inspire and motivate followers to
perform at high levels, and to be committed to
the organization or the cause.
17. John C. Maxwell, in "Charismatic Leadership," leaders are
characterized with four traits:
Believe in
employees'
potential
Embrace
life's
opportunitie
s
Share their
own talents
Provide
motivation
21. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
• Transformational Leader
“Leaders and followers make each
other advance to a higher level of
morality and motivation."
22. Grinnell was also a 'conductor'
on the Underground Railroad
and was associated with John
Brown, the Abolionist.
He provided shelter to John
Brown in 1859 after Brown's
anti-slavery raids in Kansas
and Missouri.

joined the Mormon
church and moved
with her family from
Maine to Illinois.
Following the Mormon
persecution, she left
her husband and set
on a way to Utah.
She was one of the
early Utah pioneers.
25. Merely a coincidence?
• Richard Branson –
• One of his great grandfathers was
an entrepreneur
• Traded in India for spices
Richard’s paternal great-great-grandmother,
Eliza Cornelia Wilson Wellington Reddy,
was born in India, to a man named Luke Reddy,
and a mother who was not listed on Eliza’s birth certificate.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show
Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (2016)
stated that Richard’s genetic ancestry is:
*95.9% European
*3.9% South Asian
Thus, it was speculated on the show that Eliza’s
mother was Indian, leading to Richard’s DNA result,
and him having 1/32 Indian ancestry.
Sir Richard Branson had no idea that he had
an entrepreneur in his family tree.
26. Merely a coincidence?
• Russell Wilson –
• His grandfather, a former president of Norfolk State
University, was a two sport star at Kentucky State, and his
father, Harrison, was a standout football and baseball player
for Dartmouth who was drafted into the NFL, but chose to
pursue a law career.
27. Nature versus Nurture
• Robert Downey, Jr.
• “At the end of the episode
Professor Gates discussed the
question of "nature versus
nurture" with his guests and
asked Robert Downey, Jr. if he
feels that his ancestral past has
shaped who he is today.”
"I don't see how it couldn't...it's informing
you whether you're conscious of it or not,
so probably better to be conscious."
28. Merely a coincidence?
• Josiah Bushnell Grinnell –
• In Iowa, Grinnell was elected to the Iowa Senate, where he
served from 1856 to 1860. At the same time, he studied law,
was admitted to the bar in 1858, and set up his legal practice
in Grinnell. He was a delegate to the
1860 Republican National Convention that nominated
Abraham Lincoln for President.
• Grinnell was also a 'conductor' on the
Underground Railroad and was associated with John Brown.
He provided shelter to John Brown in 1859 after Brown's
anti-slavery raids in Kansas and Missouri.
Dr Renee Hill’s is working on her second
doctorate.
Josiah is her Great Grandfather.
29. Merely a coincidence?
• Hannah Knight Libby –
• Her father was in a Captain in the Revolutionary War.
• Her mother was the daughter of a church deacon.
• She moved her family, along with Joseph Smith and others
to Utah.
Dr Andree Swanson is a leader and serves
as the Program Chair of the Bachelors of
Arts in Business Leadership.
Hannah Knight Libby is her Great Great
Grandmother.
30. Merely a coincidence?
Chief, JP. UDO IBEKWE
Dr. Efiong Akwaowo is a core faculty
member in the Forbes School of Business
and Technology at Ashford University.
The Late Chief Udo Ibekwe, was my father-
in-law, a man of a great integrity, whom I
loved dearly.
• Chief Udo Ibekwe lost his parents at his tender age. This challenge to
his early life set him on a leadership course as he had to fend for
himself and his five siblings. The village quickly looked up to him as
the only enlightened person with a reputable character. As an
elementary school teacher, he was unanimously elected as the
leader of the union due to his charismatic qualities and later, at the
state level. His socio-political leadership visions led to the creation of
pressure groups such as NTO AFE ANNANG, which brought the
emancipation of his ANNANG tribe to political relevance and
recognition. His leadership strides even in his religious activities in
the Methodist faith, earned him the honor of ORDER OF WESTLEY
(OOW). Even after his retirement, he was still looked up to by his
peers to champion the struggle for their welfare; he was elected to
the state chairman of pensioners union and as a trustee at the
national level, all due to his charismatic leadership qualities.
Dr. Henry Louis Gates has provided much in the way of anecdotal evidence in his series, Finding Your Roots. Of particular note was the example of Sir Richard Branson, the entrepreneur and CEO of Virgin Group. His father was a soldier and an attorney, but as Dr. Gates climbed his family tree, he found that Richard Branson had Asian routes… Asian routes leading back to India, the former English colony.
He recently learned of this fact on the American TV show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. Through DNA analysis, it was determined that a branch of Branson's family was from India.
Richard Branson's second great grandmother Eliza Cornelia Wilson Wellington Reddy was born in Madras, India in 1817. The name of her mother was, curiously, missing from Eliza's baptismal records.
Noting the oddity, Branson offers a guess: "well, it was just prior to Victorian times...did somebody misbehave?”
Show host Gates explains that such an omission on a baptismal record of a white child would be the convention if the mother was not white. In this case, the mother was Indian. (What are some lesser known facts about Richard Branson, 2016)
