Download or read book Engaged Leadership written by Joan Marques and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This professional book examines the concept of engaged leadership. Specifically, it focuses on the need for leaders in personal and professional realms, for-profit and non-profit, to understand the importance of engagement in order to achieve enhanced satisfaction and motivation among stakeholders (including employees, shareholders, investors, supporters, customers, suppliers, the community, competitors, family, and partners), and hence, an augmented level of designed thinking, which leads to increased innovation and on-going leadership development. Divided into three sections—engaged leadership development at the personal level, implementation at the organizational level, and manifestation in practice—this book provides professionals, practitioners and policy makers as well as students with the tools and skills to lead actively and conscientiously and help them understand the importance of creativity and compassion for development. Engaged leadership operates on the fundamental principle that leaders have to first and foremost perceive themselves as leaders, and then engage in design thinking, as they will need to develop strategies to reach, encourage, and positively appeal to these stakeholder groups. Leadership is neither limited to those holding formal managerial position, nor to any particular setting. Leaders can be found everywhere, in all layers of society. Leadership is only possible, however, if one dares to perceive and define oneself as a leader. And only when leadership is adopted as a reality within one’s personal perception, can engaged leadership be applied. Featuring contributions from academics, scholars, and professionals from around the world, each providing cases, interactive questions and reflective notes, this book will be of interest to professionals, practitioners, policy makers, students and scholars interested in creative leadership, management, organizational behavior, and governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on leadership and organizational change focus on descriptive theory and research, simplistic and questionable gimmicks, or biographical sketches of successful leaders whose character and exploits students are encouraged to emulate. Leadership and the Art of Change avoids pedantry, gimmicks, and hero worship while addressing the complex issues involved in trying to lead an organization. It does not bury the reader in abstractions, nor does it offer quick fixes. Leadership and the Art of Change is a unique book in that it focuses on a leader′s central and most daunting task—achieving organizational change that successfully addresses external and internal threats and opportunities. Author Lee R. Beach uses six prime responsibilities as the framework for discussing change leadership: external and internal environmental assessment to identify required changes, organizational culture as a constraint on change, vision for motivating change; plans as a map for change, implementation to produce change, and follow-through for institutionalizing achieved changes and making ongoing change a part of the culture. Key Features: Defines leadership as the art of producing changes in an organization′s environment, its culture, and its practices in pursuit of survival and prosperity Explains the importance of organizational culture as the key to facilitating or inhibiting change Examines methods for building a vision and leveraging culture in order to move the organization toward the vision with implementation strategies Offers self-summary exercises as well as a new episode of an ongoing vignette in each chapter that helps readers understand the issues under consideration Includes appendices that provide students with hands-on tools to do marketing research, survey an organization′s culture, and perform decision analyses Written in a conversational manner, Leadership and the Art of Change is an engaging textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying management in a variety of programs including Business, Public Administration, Health Care Management, and Social Work.

Download or read book Leadership Style and Its Influence on Employee Engagement in the Non alcoholic Beverage Industry written by Dieago Miller and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective leadership is often deemed essential to the daily operations of manufacturing (Muddle, 2020). In recent years, many researchers have found employee engagement has declined and is negatively impacting productivity, employee morale, and employee engagement. While leadership is widely acknowledged as a primary factor influencing employee engagement, not all leadership styles effectively establish and enhance employee engagement (Chandrasekara, 2019). No known studies have investigated the relationship between leadership style and employee engagement in the non-alcoholic beverage industry. The purpose of this quantitative study is to examine transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles to see if there is a significant relationship to employee engagement. The study used a correlational research design to examine which leadership styles resulted in the highest and lowest levels of employee engagement. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 1995) and the Gallup Q12 employee engagement survey collected data from 108 full-time hourly and salaried employees at two non-alcoholic manufacturing plants in North Carolina and South Carolina. Research results revealed employee engagement had strong positive correlations with transformational and transactional leadership styles but a negative correlation with laissez-faire leadership style. Similarly, transformational leadership ranked highest in employee engagement, while laissez-faire leadership was lowest. Given the advantages and disadvantages of each leadership style, organizations must determine which leadership style has a significant influence on job performance and employee engagement. This study can help senior leaders identify and develop training programs to teach and encourage specific types of leadership behavior beneficial to influencing employee engagement.
