The Case
To round the picture fully off, in 2012 James completed a commissioned paper for the Leadership Foundation in Higher Education entitled ‘Leadership for improved Academic Enterprise’ (Powell and Clark,2012) – a global study of the leadership, governance and management of senior academic entrepreneurs in their development of higher academic enterprise, or what others refer to as University Reach-out or the ‘third mission’; this was based on funded HEFCE and CIHE study of 16 exemplary British leaders and will explore successful other academic leaders from other cultures, including in Canada, USA, Australia, Hungary, Holland, Japan, Turkey and Norway.
Cover of the published Leadership paper
Powell interviewed over 60 academic entrepreneurial leaders, similar in aspiration to himself, who wanted to enact Citizens Enablement and provide others, including the academics in their own University do so with the skills they have by focussing on helping Citizens and communities reach their desired changes. This Action Learning based approach tries to engage with citizens and communities to empower them.” see: “pumr.pascalobservatory.com”

The authors of the above paper may well be Citizen Enablers, but this section was only produced to show how a philosophical underpinning for the rest of the ideas reported here have been developed.
