This qualitative case study explores leadership dynamics and typologies of campus cultural orientations toward diversity at a single California community college. The study was guided by Bass and Avolio’s (1997) full range leadership model, which is a paradigm of transformational leadership. Additionally, the study was framed by Jayakumar and Museus’s (2012) taxonomy of campus cultural orientations.
Reviews
“Cervantes’ book skillfully presents the transformational leadership model as a framework investigating the leadership at a community college… [it] gives an account of a transformational situation on a college campus and how the four tenets – idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration were used to bring about change.”

“Cervantes’ deeply practical, scholarly and revealing study, illustrates how self-leadership by individuals was in fact necessary in the first instance, prior to the college enacting a transformational leadership concept which aspired to sustain a community college culture moving towards necessary diversity and equity.”
