This book was released on 2016 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given our highly competitive and global market, organizations are constantly seeking continuous improvement of their products and services, and they strive to achieve higher innovation capabilities. Leadership with the ability to create this type of change and innovation is critical for an organization's survival. Most of the leadership literature has defined transformational leadership as a single-factor model. However, this empirical study will investigate the relationship between the individual components of transformational leadership on organizational outcomes. Specifically, the relationships between idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and individualized consideration and product innovation as an outcome are examined. In the absence of such understanding, it is important to conceptualize them separately, for research purposes, as well as for leadership development purposes. Additionally, this study investigates the moderating role of open system as the organizational climate's framework—characterized by flexibility, outward focus, and reflexivity—on the relationship between the individual components of transformational leadership and product innovation. The objectives of the empirical study are: (a) to investigate the roles of the different dimensions of transformational leadership on product innovation. By doing so, the research will provide a better understanding of the most influential factors within the transformational leadership style. Specifically, to determine if each component of transformational leadership has different roles in fostering product innovation and what are these roles; (b) to examine the use of an open system framework in the context of transformational leadership and product innovation, which represents a significant contribution, as this research will provide a better understanding of how open system as an organizational climate factor impacts the relation between each component of transformational leadership and product innovation; and (c) to apply the findings of the current study to benefit top management in examining their own leadership styles and how that impacts product innovation through the open system. While many studies have studied transformational leadership as holistic constructs, this study will explore the different elements of each component: Idealized Influence, Intellectual Stimulation, Inspirational Motivation, and Individualized Consideration and its relationship with product innovation. I believe that this will add greater understanding of each component of transformational leadership and will help practitioners with leader development. To fill this research gap, this study examines the following research questions: (1) What is the impact of transformational leadership's different dimensions: Idealized Influenced (II), Intellectual Stimulation (IS), Inspirational Motivation (IM), and Individualized Consideration (IC) on radical and incremental product innovation? (2) How does an organization's climate and, more specifically, an open system moderate the relationship between II, IS, IM, and IC and product innovation outcomes? A primary data collection methodology was employed in this study. Specifically, an online survey was used to facilitate the large-scale data collection process. Data from 220 respondents representing manufacturing and services companies located in the United States was collected. A respondent that has a c-level position, such as CFO, CIO, COO, etc, represented each company. Then the research model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that each component of transformational leadership impacts product innovation differently. This study makes different valuable contributions. Theoretically, this study conceptualizes and empirically tests transformational leadership factors--idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and individualized consideration--separately. Specifically, it empirically investigates how these factors impact product innovation. Practically, this research confirms that each style of transformational leadership impacts product innovation differently. Therefore, this finding can help companies with their leadership development process.

Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of CEOs on firm performance and focuses on their role in science-based innovation to answer the question, is it possible to lead highly complex R&D projects and innovation that you do not understand? Today, science and technology move so fast that even managers of R&D teams can become quickly disconnected from new developments. Similarly, business leaders may be required to lead organisations with technical knowledge beyond their own expertise. How to manage teams and retain respect and influence is a recognised challenge. Filled with insight from managers and CEOs in science and technology organisations, the book unlocks the skills required to balance the leadership and managerial needs of the organisation, motivate the technical teams and drive successful innovation in new product development environments. Due to the vital role played by experts in a chosen field of technical and scientific expertise, the book also describes what these specialists need and expect from their leaders. The book is required reading for managers in high tech and scientific environments – the CEO, CSO and the R&D manager. It can also be used as a classroom reference book on the management skills required for leading high-tech projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique leadership challenges organizations face throughout the world call for a renewed focus on what constitutes "authentic, inclusive, servant, transformational, principled, values-based, and mindful" leadership. Traditional approaches rarely provide a permeating or systematic framework to garner a sense of higher purpose or nurture deeper moral and spiritual dimensions of leaders. Learning to be an effective leader requires a deep personal transformation, which is not easy. This text provides guidelines in a variety of settings and contexts while presenting best practices in successfully leading the twenty-first century workforce and offering strategies and tools to lead change effectively in the present-day boundary-less work environment. Given the ever-growing, widespread importance of leadership and its role in initiating change, this will be a key reference work in the field of leadership and change management in business. The uniqueness of this book lies in its anchorage in the moral and spiritual dimension of leadership, an approach most relevant for contemporary times and organizations. It represents an important milestone in the perennial quest for discovering the best leadership models and change practices to suit the contemporary organizations. Designed to be a resource for scholars, practitioners, teachers and students seeking guidance in the art and science of leadership and change management, this will be an invaluable reference for libraries with collections in business, management, sports, history, politics, law, and psychology. It will present essential strategies for leading and transforming corporations, small businesses, schools, hospitals, and various nonprofit organizations. It brings the research on leadership and change management up to date, while mapping its terrain and extending the scope and boundaries of this field in an inclusive and egalitarian manner.

Download or read book Innovation Management written by Ilir Hajdini and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2 (Second Class), University of Sussex (SPRU - Science and Technology Policy Research), course: International Management, language: English, abstract: The research plans to show the importance of the leadership role of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in Managing Innovation. This has also attracted the focus of researchers analysing leadership styles and its relation to innovation. Innovation is a transition from traditional methods to modern ways of providing products, services, processes, business models and much more. However, factors that have continuously kept innovation ever-increasing have not yet been clearly identified. Effectively, CEOs have their own role in the process of managing innovation allowing, initiating and monitoring the processes, products, services offered by public or private sectors. Therefore, this dissertation plans to compare the CEOs leadership role in two leading online world companies Yahoo and Google that are rapidly facing the growing demands for modernisation of their offerings. The comparison will attempt to test a hypothesis that relates Yahoo and Google CEOs' role in selection of strategy, acquisitions and management style, and its effect in innovation outcomes.

Specifically, leaders will learn to: Live their professional and personal lives with unbridled purpose and passion. Execute strategic priorities more effectively and with accelerated results.
