Abstract:

When difficulties appear concerning the environment and the social relationships in teams, leading others become very interesting as well as challenging. I am sharing in this research an understanding of the concept of hardship in order to point out a main leadership issue, which is to lead others in extreme situations. It is a new and innovative approach of leadership within the business area based on the literature and completed by sailors’ experiences of hardship.Offshore sailors have the use to handle hardship situations alone as well as in crews, and they cannot avoid it when they are far

Abstract:

This research explored whether the effectiveness of leadership styles differs in safety-critical contexts compared to contexts where safety is less salient. The existing leadership literature lacks consideration of the context in which leadership takes place. Leadership styles that are valued and effective in one work context, might be less desired and less effective in another context. Using Bass’s (1985) transformational-transactional leadership framework, the present research argues that the extent to which safety is salient within a work environment, impacts on the effectiveness of transfo

Abstract:

The need for leadership training in the practice of conducting deserves further discussion, both in relation to conductors’ perception of their own roles as well as the needs of the musicians in their orchestras. In the training of young conductors and the literature pertaining to it, emphasis is usually placed on baton technique, musicianship, repertoire and historical awareness while motivational and leadership skills are generally left to be acquired from on the job training. This research proposes that such skills are too central to the role of a successful conductor to be overlooked. Sinc

The study takes servant-leadership and attempts to find if there is an equivalent concept in management. Leadership and management have been extensively compared and contrasted in research and theory and while there are divergent views of exactly what each entails, others hold the view that they might be equal and complementary. The research design follows a positivist philosophy. An instrument that measures distinct leader, manager and professional role preferences is used to check the discrete operation of three contexts among a sample of members of the accountancy profession.

Abstract:

Complex rapid change contexts frequently generate competing demands for organisations, which can create significant tension at all levels. A core competing demand derives from the need to develop highly adaptive and innovative responses to rapid change while simultaneously ensuring organisation stability. Effectively managing these competing demands is critical at the senior leader level. Yet while there has been a growing awareness of the important role senior leaders play in managing these demands, it is not yet clear how this happens. This research therefore focused on identifying the uniqu

Abstract:

Leadership is integral to the health and wellbeing of individuals and organisations. Relevant literature typically assumes a conception of leadership as ethical influence for good purpose, yet it is not always so. When exercised destructively, leadership has the potential to cause personal distress, group dysfunction and cultural fracture. Although some theoretical literature discusses such leadership, there are few empirical studies. This study applies autopoietic theory to explore the existence and impact of destructive leadership in school-related contexts and suggest possible prevention an

Abstract:

Leadership is a richly researched ana widely covered topic, attracting the attention of virtually every discipline within the human sciences. Research which focuses on leadership within an educational context is, however, a relatively recent development. Most of the leadership research conducted in this century has been driven by the needs of industry. Consequently, leadership theories have tended to emphasise the instrumentality, measurability and effectiveness of leadership. Leadership models, intent on being prescriptive and 'learnable', have been inclined to oversimplify the complexity of
