PEOPLE WISDOM AND STRATEGIC MANAGMENT

PEOPLE WISDOM AND STRATEGIC MANAGMENT Senge (1996: 45) suggests that: ‘We are coming to believe that leaders are the people who ‘walk ahead’, people who are genuinely committed to deep change in themselves and their organizations. They lead through developing new skills, capabilities and understandings. And they come from many places within their organization.’ There is little purpose in having a future view for a organization or setting priorities which require action, if these are not shared. As Korac-Kakabadse and Kakabadse (1998: 1) suggest: ‘It could be argued that executives always had visions for their organizations, but whether these visions were shared is another matter.’ If it does not affect the people within the organization, it will not be implemented. Having people wisdom to involve and energize staff to deliver the strategy is crucially important. Visioning, or foresight, as a process requires an interpersonal intelligence (Gardner, 1999). The strategic leader must ide...

MY VISION ON LEADERSHIP

Image
MY VISION ON LEADERSHIP Leadership is defined as “a collective  and collaborative process focused on relationships and networks” (Kezar et al, 2011, p.63) and it has crucial impact upon the achievement of organizational aims and objectives. Traditionally, leadership has been divided into autocratic, democratic and laisser-faire categories as it has been argued by leadership theorist Kurt Lewin. However, Fitzsimons et al (2011) convincingly argue that the range of leadership styles and theoretical frameworks are much wider and more complex and not all of them fit within the classification offered by Lewin. Specifically, additional leadership frameworks include bureaucratic leadership, charismatic leadership, people-oriented leadership, servant leadership, task-oriented leadership, transactional leadership, as well as, transformational leadership. The things I want more than anything growing up as a leader is to be unforgettable to employee to impact on their performance growth happi...

Visionary Leadership Introduction Leadership is about leading the organizations and organizational teams to go somewhere. If the leaders and its people don’t know where to go, then leadership means nothing. So it is important for leaders to have a clear vision.

Bennis also describes that there are some practically proven leadership competencies that can affect the performance of an organization, which also includes “vision and goal setting”, “interpersonal skills and self  knowledge” along with some special charact...
