Abstract:

A collective and collaborative response to an article appearing in Leadership’s “Leading Questions” department is prepared by a team subscribing to the leadership-as-practice approach. The focus is to represent the manner in which leadership-as-practice operates as a leadership theory and in its communal practice orientation. Among the themes addressed are leadership-as-practice’s theory development, its contribution in comparison to critical leadership theory, its approach to power, and its practicality. Emerging issues in leadership-as-practice theory and application are also reviewed.

Abstract:

Purpose In explaining ethno-territorial conflicts, leadership preferences have an odd status. In case studies, leadership preferences are often viewed as highly significant causes but are not usually defined and measured explicitly. In large-sample statistical studies, leadership preferences are only captured by weakly related proxy variables. This paper aims to fill this gap by developing suitable theory, which can be used consistently in both case study and statistical applications.

Abstract:

The goal of the present study is to probe into the essential role of transformational leadership and diversity in culture for the successful implementation of business models aiming at the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP).Inclusive businesses seek to alleviate poverty.

Abstract:

In recent times, the phenomenon of leadership has assumed considerable significance. The key question “What makes an effective leader?” continues to daunt researchers. In this article, Albert S King uses a developmental perspective to create an evolutionary tree of leadership theory. He identifies nine evolutionary eras with researchers in each era focusing on a specific theme of leadership. He also discusses the requirements of the Tenth Era — the Integrative Era — which hopefully will bring together different approaches in developing a sustainable theory of leadership.

This paper explores the application of leadership theories—namely, distributed leadership, transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and participative leadership—by critically comparing theoretical perspectives and examining their practical implementation in educational settings. The first section contrasts Parker’s case-based study of distributed leadership in British primary schools with an AI-generated article that offers a broad theoretical overview. While the AI-authored article demonstrates clarity and breadth, it lacks empirical depth. The second section reflects on the aut

Abstract:

Alongside ethical leadership’s effectiveness on team creativity, the superiority of shared leadership has been emphasized in the literature. Based on role theory, social information processing theory, and allocation preferences theory, this study suggests that shared leadership functions as a critical intermediating mechanism to explain the influence of ethical leadership on team-level creativity. Moreover, the dispersion value of leader–member exchange (LMXD) moderates the influence of ethical leadership on shared leadership.

We investigated the status of leadership theory integration by reviewing 14 years of published research (2000 through 2013) in 10 top journals (864 articles). The authors of these articles examined 49 leadership approaches/theories, and in 293 articles, 3 or more of these leadership approaches were included in their investigations. Focusing on these articles that reflected relatively extensive integration, we applied an inductive approach and used graphic network analysis as a guide for drawing conclusions about the status of leadership theory integration.

Sustainable leadership and improvement are more than matters of mere endurance, of making things last.

It is a shared responsibility, that does not unduly deplete human or financial resources, and that cares for and avoids exerting negative damage on the surrounding educational and community environment. Sustainable leadership has an activist engagement with the forces that affect it, and builds an educational environment of organizational diversity t
