Leadership assignment

Today it seems Strategic Leadership is getting more and more important. One indicator for this is shown through the fact that many MBA courses highlight “Strategic Leadership” as one of the main topics (Anon 2015a) or even offering special “MBA Strategic Leadership” classes - e.g. University of Edinburgh Business School, University of Tennessee Knoxville, Amberton University. Furthermore, business and management literatures show a “substantial interest in Strategic Leadership” (Carter & Greer 2013). However in the late 1970s and early 80s the matter and influence of Leadership in organisations has been questioned through some authors (Pfeffer 1977; Hambrick & Mason 1984; Meindl et al. 1985). In contrast, today a strong agreement for the need of Leadership, and furthermore of Strategic Leadership, can be assumed. Ireland & Hitt (2005, cited in Elenkov et al., 2005) states that “Strategic Leadership and innovation strategy are crucial for achieving and maintaining strategic competiveness in the 21st century”. Furthermore, regarding to (Beatty & Hughes 2005) Strategic Leadership is already prevalent in organisations, while it is now discussed how Strategic Leadership can be enhanced.

Strategic leadership plays a crucial role in organizations operating in dynamic business environment. This paper examines the wide-ranging characteristics for an individual to be an effective strategic leader with evidence from a comprehensive secondary literature review. Data is obtained from three major databases i-e google scholar, SSCI and Scopus. Secondary research results indicate that being a visionary, having a strategic and creative mindset along with the knowledge to develop and maintain the right social capital and the inclination to have moral integrity are some of the indispensable elements of effective strategic leaders. Consequently, leader succession trainings and development models must inculcate these competencies and characteristics into their top talents to enhance the organization's future performance. Nevertheless, strategic leadership encompassing top management and board of directors" success factor in terms of a team"s abilities, knowledge and skills is still a largely untapped domain.

[Follow URL link above to find paper] This paper aims to provide a strong conceptual underpinning for our project, ‘Strategic Leadership for Institutional Teaching and Learning Centres: Developing a Model for the 21st century’. The project intends to: 1. investigate the forms of leadership that are present and emerging in organisational Centres for teaching and learning and whether or not they are responding to the ‘organisational redesign’ that Marginson (2000, p.28) argued that the sector required. This involves close consideration of the ways in which institutional structures and distinctive organisational cultures are being shaped by strategic leadership stakeholders to enhance teaching and learning quality. And 2. develop a model of leadership that is anticipatory, innovative and creative, strategic and contingent and which directs particular professional development and approaches in support of central groups as they confront the challenges of the 21st century. This involves the development of a Teaching and Learning Strategic Leadership Framework for professional development purposes for capacity building of leadership personnel of institutional Centres for teaching and learning.

The perspectives applied to any construct, like leadership, are fundamentally determined by the world view (or ontology) adopted to frame those perspectives. Given the importance of leadership, a true leader is not one with the most followers, but the one who develops leaders and they can only do that if they know the uniqueness of those they lead. The value of unearthing their distinctiveness is by creating spaces of practice, enabling boldness, risk taking, inventing, modifying, and having fun; which may identify unthought-of-means to illustrate how academe can preserve the spontaneity, humor, wisdom, and unique flavor of different perspectives in a hero's quest. A quest of discovery that inspires them to embark on their path of learning and transformation that may compel them to think in different ways which pushes them outside their comfort zone. A critical reflection on strategic leaders and their followers used to frame this construct is more than crucial; it can be a journey in out-thinking in the education sector. The Monomyth: The Strategic Follower The methodological design for this chapter provides an example of how Romanyshyn and Goodchild etymologically linked method to the image of a path or a journey (2003). When one articulates a method, they are mapping out the journey to be taken from a place of not knowing one's topic to the place of coming to know it. Thus, hermeneutics was my method of choice

INTRODUCTION -8- "Freedom, justice, uprightness, truthfulness, honesty, courtesy, courage, audacity, ambition, mercy, the feeling of sorrow or shame, the sense of duty, charity, patriotism, loyalty, bravery, selflessness and, above all, a wonderful sense of honor are never automated, in any man, in any society. in no season. They are simply tested and confirmed everywhere and always."1 GENERAL "Business Administration" can rightly be characterized as one of the most important manifestations of modern life. Thanks to it, huge reserves of materials are produced and services are offered to man that he would not otherwise be able to have. Thanks to this, to a large extent, our daily lives have this form. We think it is appropriate to make it clear here that the group activities of the individual, in which we are interested here, do not always have to refer to profit-making enterprises. Public education, local government and public services are group activities in which profit does not apply at least directly. Nevertheless, their operation is greatly facilitated if the principles of Business Organization and Management are applied to them. The issue of effective leadership in an organization is one of the most critical issues in modern societies, especially nowadays when the conditions of crisis shape competitive and rapidly changing situations in the workplace. Effective leadership is a constant challenge, since a series of factors hinder the development of employees' capabilities, the creation of team spirit, the building of a collective vision, the launch of a common perspective, the formation of a healthy work culture. It is clear that the formal and bureaucratic processing of contractual tasks in a labor space does not produce a result that meets the capabilities of employees. On the contrary, where the intervention of a leading figure occurs, the productive result reflects the synthesis and utilization of forces, highlighting characteristics such as innovation, self-motivation, voluntary participation in a common vision, moral satisfaction, professional self-realization. Specifications, terms and conditions-criteria of the leader we seek and find from Ancient Greek Literature, the Renaissance, Byzantium and up to the present day. The specifications of the leader, and the leadership, cannot be a shallow moralism, but essential existing elements that aim to enhance and deepen it, but also to develop and improve it in order to contribute to lasting success that seems to depend on personal work, to require imagination, research, patience, perseverance and creative effort to connect the "parts", the "elements" of the group or society, in order to overcome and expand its limits of development. Konstantinos Tsatsos2 leaves us in his "Greek course" as a legacy the following: "Leadership in a modern state is not a one-party construct. It is a pyramidally formed group of people, led by the first, let's call him that, leader. This leader will choose 1 Inazo Nitobe, "Bushido, The Code of the Samurai", Introduction by V. G. Polydoras, ed. Kastanioti, Athens 1996, p. 24 2 Constantine Tsatsos was a Greek jurist, philosopher and politician who served as President of the Republic. He pursued an academic career, being elected full professor of philosophy of law at the Athens Law School and a member of the Academy of Athens, of which he also served as president. -9- the leaders under him. Again, the leaders under him, who must also have leadership qualities, must choose the leaders under them. So we gradually descend to that circle of simple executioners, who have a completely limited initiative. The leader must know how to choose his associates and, when the time comes, his successors. And he must be sure enough of himself not to be afraid to choose the best, the most leading, those who could, thanks to their leadership qualities, supplant him, the one who happened perhaps by chance to hold the first place of leadership." (Polydoras, 2008, pp. 263,264) Ethos and choice of partners seem to be among the key characteristics of the leader. In times of crisis and tension it seems to Other "gifts" are added in addition to moral skills, such as many and varied skills as a key to effective leadership. Seizing opportunities, practicing leadership, training, and carefully evaluating experience and its implementation in culture also seem to lead to the lasting success of effective leadership. In this paper an attempt will be made to highlight how important leadership is for the development of an organization In this context, the first chapter defines the concept of leadership and identifies the positive effects on the development of an organization while giving the mark of offering effective leadership to an organization. The second chapter analyzes the definitions and basic characteristics of business management. Chapter Three illustrates the main theories of success and why successful businesses fail. Chapter Four analyzes the most representative theories on the issue of Leadership, what are the current leadership standards and what method of leadership we should follow. In the Fifth, an approach to the role of the Leader in leading teams is attempted and basic strategies of a leader are recorded. In order to avoid confusion between the terms Leadership and Management, it was considered appropriate to record the elements that differentiate the two concepts ASSUMPTIONS The factors taken into account which influence the development of the topic are: 1. The leader is born and becomes. 2. The reference is made to leaders of "Western societies, democratic states and well-governed societies.3 3. Virtue is taught as well as cultivated. (Aristotle., pp. 5-15) DEFINITIONS For a better understanding of work, we will develop some of the terms related to it and they are as follows: 1. System It is a set of interdependent units or objects (inanimate or animate) considered in conjunction with the set of Laws, which govern the relations between them. The set of units or objects constitutes the composition of the system, while the set of laws constitutes the operation of the system. 2. Enterprise - 10 - They are a set of individuals and means engaged with each other in a specific way, to accomplish a specific objective (or more). With a little attention the reader will notice that the term "Enterprise" is identical to the term 'System'. That is indeed the case! Because, what else constitutes an "Enterprise", from all the working people within it, considered in conjunction with the means at its disposal and with some objective. With the generality of the term "Enterprise" that we adopt here, we are not limited only to Commercial and Industrial Enterprises. Non-profit enterprises or state service providers (i.e. public services and similar entities) are well included in the generality of the above definition. 3 It is accepted that many principles of leadership and characteristics of the leader can be found, for example, in authoritarian regimes and Islamic societies, but not all of them and not with the same importance and hierarchy And in Public Services we have movement of people and means, under a certain set of rules, to achieve a set of objectives such as the provision of services. Therefore, what is developed in the following is valid for any "form" and "nature" of Enterprises, which fall under the above definition. 3. Productivity Productivity can be considered as the volume of production of goods and services, relative to the means consumed to carry out this production. The task of the business executive is to achieve precisely the greatest possible productivity. 4. Work It is the activity of the individual, referred to as "freedom of action", in order to achieve certain objectives. The examination of an activity, which we can consider as human labor, will lead to the enumeration of certain characteristics. Thus, we will find that there is always an objective or more, as well as some kind of raw materials, i.e. primary energy sources, required to carry out the project in question. 5. Project It is the result that must be achieved within a certain period of time. In any project there is a specific or conditional, explicit or implicit, time limit that determines when it is desirable to achieve the objectives that will be fulfilled by completing that project. 6. Role It is the position occupied by an individual in an organization and related to a specific task or group of projects, in the sense of the terms defined above. It is emphasized that it is particularly important to be able to separate the "personality" of the person from the role that this person is called upon to play each time. PURPOSE The purpose of this thesis is to explore the concept of leadership, what it means and from where it is determined to be effective, whether it can guarantee lasting success and what it is, in a modern and constantly changing world and whether effective leadership contributes to the development of an Organization.

The purpose of this essay was to understand how strategic leadership actions can enable the success of an organisations' strategic management process. This essay presents a working definition of leadership as "… to create the conditions for people to thrive, individually and collectively, and achieve significant goals." The discussion, demonstrates that the concept of leadership is not new. Through series of developmental approaches, leadership has seen great improvement, with recent interest in strategic leadership. Hence, strategic leadership was seen as management drive to proffer a way forward and support others to achieve tasks and targets. In the discussion, it was advocated that strategic leadership is realised through strategic management process. To this end, several management processes have been developed by researchers, both in academic and industry. For the stated management scenario, a strategic leadership role requiring high employee engagement and high productivity was chosen as the one fit for the situation at hand. Finally, various strategic leadership actions and policies were identified for implementation.
