Trevino/Nelson, Section III
e-mail: delmardan@msn.comR. Daniel Israel completed his doctorate in leadership studies and practice from the University of San Diego in late 1994. Since the completion of his doctoral dissertation, Leadership: Personal Narratives of Practitioners, Dr. Israel has been facilitating management and leadership development on a consultative basis for both the private and public sectors. He specializes in executive leadership development, foundational values development, organizational change and ethics.Israel, R. Daniel. `Leadership Values Enhancement as a Discernment Process for ChangeBecause of his concern for real and effective change, Dr. Israel has developed an expertise in program formation and implementation. This includes a new research method he developed: Leadership Narrative Analysis (LNA), which determines the leadership quotient for organizations. Intel Corporation, Disney Institute and San Diego State University engaged in LNA research to clarify whether members of their organizations exhibited managerial or leadership values and behaviors. To meet the needs of changing organizations, Dr. Israel has developed Transitions in Leadership. This dynamic program uses the data obtained from LNA to provide organizations with a systemic approach for doing leadership. Transitions in Leadership has also been used at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Corporate Relocation Specialists in San Jose and the MTA Ethics Department in Los Angeles.
Dr. Israel has been an educator for over twenty years and has done management and leadership development for organizations since 1985. By virtue of his doctorate in leadership theory and his practical corporate consulting experience, Dr. Israel is an expert in management, team building and strategic planning. His specialties include workshops and programs in executive, board and staff leadership development; organizational change; executive, board and staff team building; development of programs for strategic change and programs in values enhancement for organizations. He holds a Bachelor's of Arts in Philosophy from the University of San Diego. He gained much of his expertise in organizational process, group dynamics and facilitation while completing his Master's work at St. Patrick's Graduate School of Theology in Menlo Park, and the Graduate Theological Union at Cal Berkeley, where he specialized in eastern and western spirituality and psycho-therapy. In addition, he is a founding member of the Institute for the Advancement of Leadership. He is currently doing field-research in developing leadership within organizations for a new book.
