Transformational Leadership and the Modern Presidency - Andrzej Demczuk - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Transformational Leadership and the Modern Presidency - Andrzej Demczuk - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book seeks to analyze the leadership of three presidents: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as to examine the impact of the presidents’ leadership had on the leadership of the advisers they worked with during their presidencies. Transformational leadership, a term first introduced by James MacGregor Burns, describes a process in which “leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation.” In order to measure transformational leadership, Bernard M. Bass’s model - which includes four elements: an idealized influence, inspiring motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual treatment - is applied throughout. It is crucial to conduct an analysis of the relationships between the examined three presidents and their advisers in order to demonstrate if the subordinates excelled in leadership because of the presidents’ leadership skill.

Leadership Ethics - Terry L. Price - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Leadership Ethics - Terry L. Price - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Are leaders morally special? Is there something ethically distinctive about the relationship between leaders and followers? Should leaders do whatever it takes to achieve group goals? Leadership Ethics uses moral theory, as well as empirical research in psychology, to evaluate the reasons everyday leaders give to justify breaking the rules. Written for people without a background in philosophy, it introduces readers to the moral theories that are relevant to leadership ethics: relativism, amoralism, egoism, virtue ethics, social contract theory, situation ethics, communitarianism, and cosmopolitan theories such as utilitarianism and transformational leadership. Unlike many introductory texts, the book does more than simply acquaint readers with different approaches to leadership ethics. It defends the Kantian view that everyday leaders are not justified in breaking the moral rules.

Leadership and Identity - Michelle Evans - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Leadership and Identity - Michelle Evans - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Understanding how multiple identities contribute towards the construction of a leader identity is key to the work of leadership. This book explores how leadership can be seen differently through exploring how indigenous artists participate in shaping, expressing and resisting cultural identities of both indigeneity and leadership. Based on in-depth interviews with Indigenous artists from Australia, Alaska and Hawaii, this book explores how they deliver unique, dynamic forms of leadership to their communities and society. Taking a critical perspective on the intersection of leadership and identity, this book deconstructs the tensions faced by indigenous leaders and reveals the complex dilemma at the heart of leadership practice. By conceptualising the connection between individuals’ identities and their practice of leadership as a set of territories that we navigate inside of ourselves in order to do the work of leadership, this book captures and makes applicable the embodied dimensions of leadership which are often neglected in research and from which broader leadership scholarship can learn new lessons. This highly original way of critically rethinking leadership will be of interest to scholars and advanced students in leadership, as well as scholars of arts management and indigenous studies.

Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Communicative Understandings of Women's Leadership Development - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Communicative Understandings of Women''s Leadership Development: From Ceilings of Glass to Labyrinth Paths, edited by Elesha L. Ruminski and Annette M. Holba, intertwines the disciplines of communication studies, leadership studies, and women''s studies to offer theoretical and practical reflection about women''s leadership development in academic, organizational, and political contexts. Women''s leadership development exists at the intersection of consciousness-raising, communication competence, and education to increase one''s knowledge and practice of "leadership," which makes the weaving together of these three disciplines important. Thus, Communicative Understandings of Women''s Leadership Development claims a space for women''s leadership studies and acknowledges the paradigmatic shift from discussing women''s leadership using the glass ceiling phenomenon to what Eagly and Carli (2007) identify as the labyrinth of leadership. Recognizing this metaphoric shift is crucial because many women now develop leadership amid the postmodern flux of organizational change; hierarchical, top-down systems are being eroded in lieu of transformational, collaborative, even improvisational leadership processes. Women''s leadership studies is emerging as a fruitful interdisciplinary area that reframes the debate about whether we live, work, and learn within a third-wave feminist or post-feminist context. While this area might include feminist theorizing, it also might not emphasize such epistemologies. For this reason, Ruminski and Holba''s edited collection explores and highlights a variety of feminist and non-feminist intersections, and is thus an important and timely contribution to both marking where we are with women''s leadership development in higher education and how women can further develop themselves as leaders.

Ethics and Organizational Leadership - Mick Fryer - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Ethics and Organizational Leadership - Mick Fryer - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Much has been written about leadership during the last eighty years, but little attention has been paid to leadership''s ethical dimension. This book sets out to redress the balance and develop an understanding of what comprises ethical leadership in organizations.The book explores ideas from leadership theory, moral philosophy, and empirical research in order to discuss themes within leadership ethicality and related moral challenges. It suggests that the route to moral leadership lies in capitalizing on the moral upsides of these themes whilst avoiding their corresponding downsides. Whilst the book advocates a consultative rather than directive leadership style as best placed to achieve this, it also argues that, in meeting these normative criteria, leaders need to go further than the superficial, contingent prescriptions for democratic responsiveness that suffuse leadership and management theory. The book envisages what such leadership might look like and reflects on the chances of such a model being realized in contemporary, Western organizations.

Presidential Leadership in the Americas since Independence - Ted Goertzel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Presidential Leadership in the Americas since Independence - Ted Goertzel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

What is presidential leadership and why have some presidents been considered “great” – or rather “transformational” – while others are not? What are the drivers which distinguish these presidents from the rest?Presidential Leadership in the Americas since Independence answers these questions through a systematic study of leadership across the Americas over 200 years, from independence to the present day. Having surveyed who the most cited presidents are in the Americas, Guy Burton and Ted Goertzel examine the experience of presidents from across the western hemisphere: the US, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. They study the relationship between these men and women’s actions within the constraints they faced during four political periods: independence, national consolidation during the nineteenth century, state-building from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries and neoliberalism since the 1970s-80s. The most “transformational” presidents are found to be those who are not only able to innovate and build new political consensuses at a time of crisis, but also consolidate them so that the reforms becoming lasting – and extending beyond an individual president’s own political (even biological) lifetime.
