Leadership and the Ethics of Influence

Leadership and the Ethics of Influence

How do leaders influence others? Although they sometimes appeal directly to good reasons which we associate with rational persuasion leaders also use guilt pressure flattery bullying and rewards and punishment—all to get the behaviors that they want. Even when leaders refrain from outright lying they are nevertheless known to practice something approaching perhaps reaching the level of manipulation. Influence therefore presents a serious ethical problem across leadership contexts. Leadership and the Ethics of Influence argues that influence puts leaders at risk of using people. It is generally disrespectful of autonomy to figure out what makes people tick in an effort to handle them. In contrast with physical force influence works through agency not around it. Despite this feature of influence—and to a large extent because of it—the everyday influence associated with leadership is often morally troublesome. What matters morally is not only whether agency is bypassed or overridden but also who is ultimately in control. This book uses philosophy and leadership studies to show how leaders across different contexts can be justified in getting followers to do things. Connecting moral theory to leadership theory and especially to charismatic leadership authentic leadership transforming leadership and ethical leadership this book is essential reading for leadership scholars students and practitioners.

Crosslinguistic Influence and Second Language Learning

Crosslinguistic Influence and Second Language Learning

Crosslinguistic Influence and Second Language Learning provides a comprehensive overview of what is currently known about prior language knowledge and experience in second language learning. Three bodies of research are critically reviewed to achieve this goal: (i) theories of language learning that attribute critical roles to prior experience in explaining second language development (ii) empirical studies of second language learning that have investigated roles for crosslinguistic influence and (iii) instructional studies that have supported second language learning by addressing the negative effects of crosslinguistic influence. Using this foundation new research directions and theorization in the field of second language acquisition are proposed. This book will serve as an excellent resource for students and scholars with interests in (instructed) second language learning applied linguistics cognitive psychology psycholinguistics and language education.

Superpowers and Client States in the Middle East The Imbalance of Influence

Superpowers and Client States in the Middle East The Imbalance of Influence

This book first published in 1991 examines in detail superpower-client relations in the Middle East. The Middle East with its protracted and seemingly insoluble conflict and complex patterns of loyalty and hostility is the ideal setting for the study of such relationships. Using the USSR and Syria and the USA and Israel as case studies this book illuminates the extent of superpower influence on client states but also the real constraints on their exercise of that influence. In analysing specific contexts over this period the authors advance that tension between goals and constraints often favours the client state and that superpower relations are not those of dominance and subordination but bargaining relations in which clients have great leverage. | Superpowers and Client States in the Middle East The Imbalance of Influence

Crosslinguistic Influence in Singapore English Linguistic and Social Aspects

Crosslinguistic Influence in Singapore English Linguistic and Social Aspects

In a social setting where speakers with several languages interact extensively a major source of variation in Colloquial Singapore English comes from the complex interaction between crosslinguistic influences and various social and linguistic factors. By unifying both social and linguistic aspects of the phenomenon through the use of multivariate analyses like logistic regressions and Poisson regressions this book represents a novel approach to the study of crosslinguistic influence in Colloquial Singapore English. As multivariate analyses provide us with information regarding the relative strengths of each social and linguistic factor they are useful tools that allow us to have a more nuanced understanding of crosslinguistic influence in contact situations. Linguistic features from a variety of linguistic domains – morphology semantics and discourse – will be quantified and statistical analyses will be run in R to determine the degree to which various social and linguistic factors affect the extent of crosslinguistic influence. Well-known Singlish features like the optionality of past tense and plural marking the unique meanings of already got and one and discourse particles lah leh and lor are analyzed using this approach. The statistical modeling of these features is a first step towards creating a unified framework to understanding crosslinguistic influence. | Crosslinguistic Influence in Singapore English Linguistic and Social Aspects

Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability Relationships of Influence with Civil Society

Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability Relationships of Influence with Civil Society

This book provides a definitive overview of the relationships of influence between civil society and intelligence elites. The secrecy surrounding intelligence means that publication of intelligence is highly restricted barring occasional whistle-blowing and sanitised official leaks. These characteristics mean that intelligence if publicised can be highly manipulated by intelligence elites while civil society’s ability to assess and verify claims is compromised by absence of independent evidence. There are few studies on the relationship between civil society and intelligence elites which makes it hard to form robust assessments or practical recommendations regarding public oversight of intelligence elites. Addressing that lacuna this book analyses two case studies of global political significance. The intelligence practices they focus on (contemporary mass surveillance and Bush-era torture-intelligence policies) have been presented as vital in fighting the ‘Global War on Terror’ enmeshing governments of scores of nation-states while challenging internationally established human rights to privacy and to freedom from torture and enforced disappearance. The book aims to synthesise what is known on relationships of influence between civil society and intelligence elites. It moves away from disciplinary silos to make original recommendations for how a variety of academic disciplines most likely to study the relationship between civil society and intelligence elites (international relations history journalism and media) could productively cross-fertilise. Finally it aims to create a practical benchmark to enable civil society to better hold intelligence elites publicly accountable. This book will be of great interest to students of intelligence studies surveillance media journalism civil society democracy and IR in general. | Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability Relationships of Influence with Civil Society

Foundations of Marketing Thought The Influence of the German Historical School

Foundations of Marketing Thought The Influence of the German Historical School

The study and teaching of marketing as a university subject is generally understood to have originated in America during the early 20th century emerging as an applied branch of economics. This book tells a different story describing the influence of the German Historical School on institutional economists and economic historians who pioneered the study of marketing in America and Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing from archival materials at the University of Wisconsin Harvard Business School and the University of Birmingham this book documents the early intellectual genealogy of marketing science and traces the ideas that early American and British economists borrowed from German scholars to study and teach marketing. Early marketing scholars both in America and Britain openly credited the German School and its ideology based on social welfare and distributive justice was a strong motivation for many institutional economists who studied marketing in America predating the modern macro-marketing school by many decades. Challenging many traditional beliefs this book provides an authoritative new narrative of the origins of marketing thought. It will be of great interest to educators scholars and advanced students with an interest in marketing theory and history and in the history of economic thought. | Foundations of Marketing Thought The Influence of the German Historical School

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791: A Continuing Legacy is the first in-depth study of this eighteenth-century British architect’s impact on the work of others extending globally and still indeed the case over 200 years later. Author Oliver Bradbury presents a compelling argument that the influence of Soane (1753-1837) has persevered through the centuries rather than waning around the time of his death. Through examinations of internationally-renowned architects from Benjamin Henry Latrobe to Philip Johnson as well as a number of not so well known Soanean disciples Bradbury posits that Soane is perhaps second only to Palladio in terms of the longevity of his influence on architecture through the course of more than two centuries from the early 1790s to today concluding with the recent return to pure revivalism. Previous investigations have been limited to focusing on Soane’s late-Georgian and then post-modern influence; this is the first in-depth study of his impact over the course of two centuries. Through this survey Bradbury demonstrates that Soane’s influence has been truly international in the pre-modern era reaching throughout the British Isles and beyond to North America and even colonial Australia. Through his inclusion of select detailed case studies Bradbury contends that Soane’s is a continuing not negated legacy in architecture. | Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

The Bible and Hellenism Greek Influence on Jewish and Early Christian Literature

The Bible and Hellenism Greek Influence on Jewish and Early Christian Literature

Did the Bible only take its definitive form after Alexander conquered the Near East after the Hellenisation of the Samaritans and Jews and after the founding of the great library of Alexandria? The Bible and Hellenism takes up one of the most pressing and controversial questions of Bible Studies today: the influence of classical literature on the writing and formation of the Bible. Bringing together a wide range of international scholars The Bible and Hellenism explores the striking parallels between biblical and earlier Greek literature and examines the methodological issues raised by such comparative study. The book argues that the oral traditions of historical memory are not the key factor in the creation of biblical narrative. It demonstrates that Greek texts – from such authors as Homer Hesiod Herodotus and Plato – must be considered amongst the most important sources for the Bible. | The Bible and Hellenism Greek Influence on Jewish and Early Christian Literature
