This book was released on 2021 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations devote considerable resources developing employees' capacity for leadership because they believe that "leaders" are essential in the operations of their organizations. Unfortunately, organizations do not have the time or resources to send their employees off for lengthy leader development training programs. This has contributed to the growing popularity of short-term training programs which are relatively inexpensive to conduct. However, researchers are increasingly requesting more empirical studies that examine the impact of these programs, yet these requests have remained largely disregarded. Additionally, there is a lack for developing methodologies to determine whether or not involvement in a short-term program facilitates change in an individual's transformational and transactional leadership behaviors. To address this lack of inquiry, this study examined the impact of a well-recognized leader development simulation on transformational and transactional leadership behaviors among participating mid and upper level managers. A quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test research design was used to measure the impact both from the managers' perspective and their direct reports' perspective. Based on an analysis of the assessments completed by 50 managers and 81 direct reports, the findings suggest that managers perceived significant and positive changes in all of their transformational leadership behaviors and reductions in their transactional behaviors. However, their direct reports perceived significant changes in only one dimension of their manager's transformational leadership behavior: individualized consideration. Direct reports felt that their managers spent more time teaching and coaching them, helped them to develop their strengths, and considered their individual needs more as a result of participating in the training program. Direct reports also saw improvements in leadership effectiveness and were more satisfied with their managers after the training program. In addition, managers who under-estimated their transformational leadership behavior were rated the highest in transformational leadership by their direct reports. Furthermore, managers who dominated more on the Myers-Briggs perceiving scale than the judging scale were identified as being more transformational than other personality types. The findings of this study contribute empirical support for the impact of a leader development program and demonstrate that individuals can change some of their transformational leadership behaviors from participation in a short-term training program.
Download or read book Developing Potential Across a Full Range of Leadership TM written by Bruce J. Avolio and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case book focuses on the leadership style of the key players. The 29 cases were chosen to present all facets of a model of leadership, stating that the most effective leaders are both transformational and transactional in their leadership style. Cases were selected for inclusion and/or developed to provide examples of leaders from across the spectrum of public and private sectors. Specific emphasis was placed on selecting male and female leaders from a broad array of cultures. A great deal has been written about a model of leadership that is referred to as a "full range" of leadership potential. This book adds to the literature, by highlighting specific people who exemplify the various styles and orientations regarding a full range of leadership potential. The book begins with an overview of what constitutes transactional and transformational leadership. This discussion is then expanded to include a Full Range of Leadership PotentialTM. Discussion of the cases highlight how to build balance in one's leadership profile to optimize the potential of leaders, followers, and their organizations. The presence or absence of styles in a wide variety of contexts will be discussed in terms of the effects on individuals, groups, or organizations. Questions are posed for discussion of each case. Practitioners who conduct or facilitate the training of leadership will find this book quite useful to their work. In addition, managers interested in developing their own leadership potential will be enabled to learn by example how different styles affect leadership performance. This book can also be used as a supplement to other books on leadership for undergraduate, graduate, and executive education courses in management.

Book excerpt: Over 4,000 leadership studies have been undertaken over the last century, with hundreds of leadership models and theories presented (Stogdill, 1974). Despite the fact that we have access to an enormous amount of leadership theory and research, there are few practical instructions. Nonetheless, interest in leadership--and the characteristics that distinguish a successful leader from one who fails--remains unabated (Luthans and Thompson, 1981).The focus of this report is to share my experiences during the leadership challenge course at the University of Aberdeen. In so doing, I will be using leadership theory and concepts in analysing and evaluating the leadership case that I am presenting. Thinking concerning leadership has moved through three distinct periods or phases: The Trait phase, The Behavioural Phase, and The Situational Phase. These leadership theories can be characterized as transactional leadership approaches. Current thinking on leadership is on transformational leadership, authentic leadership and value-based leadership.Leadership is about influence (Northouse, 2019). Influence is the ability to get someone to do something they otherwise would not do. One cannot be a leader without followers. In other words a leader is someone who attracts followers and retains followers irrespective of traits. Follower roles include graceful following where both are engaged and pay attention to one another; weak following where the follower is passive; self-serving following where the follower shows off being more interested in him/herself; fighting against the leader, and does not respect the vision of the leader; and a strong follower (chaleff, 2010).Burns (1978) distinguished between two types of leadership: transactional leadership and transformational leadership. Transactional Leadership focus on the interactions that occur between leaders and their followers. Contingent remuneration, management by exception (active and passive), and laissez-faire are all transactional leadership aspects.Transformational leadership is a process in which a person interacts with others and establishes a bond that increases both the leader's and the follower's motivation and morals. This type of leader is aware of the needs and motivations of his or her followers and strives to help them achieve their greatest potential. The four characteristics of transformational leadership are idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. Transformational leaders are able to raise followers levels of consciousness to make them see the value and importance of organization goals (Bass, 1985 p.20). The successful transformative leaders require transactional abilities in order to effectively manage the day-to-day events that underpin the larger objective (Bartol & Martin, 1998). Groups show signs of maturation going through various stages of development proceeding through distinct stages of forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning with the forming stage characterised by a great deal of uncertainty about the team's purpose, structure and leadership (Maples, 1988; Tuckman, 1965; Tuckman and Jensen, 1977). The degree to which members are attracted to a group, motivated to stay in the group, and mutually influenced by one another has been defined as group cohesiveness (Bartol & Martin, 1998).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reports on the effectiveness of a year-long field experiment involving training in transformational and transactional leadership in the public and private sectors. Using before and after training assessments by employees of several hundred Danish leaders, the analysis shows that transformational leadership training is associated with increases in behaviors linked to both transformational leadership and the use of verbal rewards, but only for public sector organizations. There is no impact in private sector organizations. Transactional leadership training appears to be equally effective in stimulating the use of pecuniary rewards in both public and private organizations.

Johnson and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2001-04-23 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined whether the leadership experiences and leadership behaviors of United States healthcare facility Chief Executive Officers are affected by military or civilian experience. The study also investigated whether differences in leadership outcomes, as perceived by key subordinates, were affected by the CEO's leadership development experiences or leadership behaviors. The goal of this study was to investigate how occupationally similar, yet experientially diverse, military and civilian hospital CEOs differ in significant leadership experiences, behaviors, and three performance outcomes, namely perceived effectiveness, follower satisfaction with the leader, and willingness of subordinates to put forth extra effort. Responses from a national sample of civilian and military healthcare facility CEOs affiliated with the American College of Healthcare Executives were used to address the research questions. A total of 117 healthcare facility CEOs and 190 key subordinates completed surveys designed to evaluate leadership development experiences and subordinates' perceptions of leader behaviors and outcomes. Analysis of Variance was chosen as the method for data analysis to describe quantitatively the relationship between CEO military experience and leadership development experiences, leadership styles, and leadership outcomes. Results indicated that the CEO's adult leadership development activities differed by military experience. The facility CEOs with prior military experience had unique leadership promoting and inhibiting factors. However, the prediction was not supported that the military CEOs would exhibit stronger leadership behaviors. Again, significant differences were not found between facility CEO groups in mean scores for leadership outcomes of extra effort, satisfaction and perceived effectiveness of the leader. The study findings added to the healthcare leadership knowledge base concerning improvement of the organizational outcomes of United States healthcare facilities. In addition, the results of this study have potential for linkage with assessments of ongoing military and civilian healthcare leader development initiatives.

Download or read book The Nature of Organizational Leadership written by Stephen J. Zaccaro and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-02-28 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of an organization's top leaders is a critical influence on its overall effectiveness and continuing adaptability. Yet, little current research examines leadership within the context of organizational structure, such as how leaders influence organizational performance in those key moments when an executive's action is critical to driving the organization forward. This book represents a significant contribution to the literature of leadership, combining a contextual approach to organizational leadership with an in-depth treatment of the cognitive, social, and affective dynamics underlying that leadership. The Nature of Organizational Leadership, using an interdisciplinary approach that draws from the work of scholars in both management and psychology, provides a much-need organizational perspective on the problems to confronted by top executive leaders and the requisite behaviors, attributes, and outcomes necessary to lead organizations effectively.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Meeting Science written by Joseph A. Allen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 1085 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume to analyze the science of meetings offers a unique perspective on an integral part of contemporary work life. More than just a tool for improving individual and organizational effectiveness and well-being, meetings provide a window into the very essence of organizations and employees' experiences with the organization. The average employee attends at least three meetings per week and managers spend the majority of their time in meetings. Meetings can raise individuals, teams, and organizations to tremendous levels of achievement. However, they can also undermine effectiveness and well-being. The Cambridge Handbook of Meeting Science assembles leading authors in industrial and organizational psychology, management, marketing, organizational behavior, anthropology, sociology, and communication to explore the meeting itself, including pre-meeting activities and post-meeting activities. It provides a comprehensive overview of research in the field and will serve as an invaluable starting point for scholars who seek to understand and improve meetings.
