S/M/557. Attributes, attributions and the nature of leadership
- WORDS:
- 1000
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 19.99 GBP
The paper examines theories of attributes, attributions, behaviours, situational leadership, transformational and transactional leadership – with reference to the case study of Mala Karasu, a specialist in the care of older people at Guys and St Thomas' NHS Trust. The research discusses how Mala exhibits transformational leadership in her passion for communicating a vision, and with reference to Covey's (1989) seven habits of highly-effective people, it is shown how Mala has reached stage seven – which means addressing the new challenges facing the organisation. The paper discusses how the first wave of raising awareness and changing practice has been dealt with – the Trust now addressing more complex targets, thus requiring Mala to provide and drive the strategy to achieve them. Reference is also made to Covey's (1989) description of interdependence. In creating a new vision for staff, Mala may need to incorporate a more interactive approach among staff.
KEYWORDS: Attributes, attributions, leadership, organisational practice, Covey’s seven habits!,

- DATE:

- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
The paper examines the different schools of thought relating to learning theories (psychology, HRD, learning and development) within a mentoring scheme. This paper explores the value of Experiential Learning Theory in the context of the mentoring scheme of the London Fire Brigade. Primarily, the scheme was introduced via an internal magazine and spread through word of mouth. The aims were to develop black and minority ethnic (BME) group (particularly female) engagement and recruitment. Additionally, it was also intended for the development and retention of existing members of that group. The research uses Kolb's (1984) model of learning styles –which shows how learning is an ongoing process and every previous step (experience) contains a significant value. The paper also highlights Honey and Mumford's 1992 theory, identifying four separate characteristics of learners: the activist, the reflector, theorist, and the pragmatist.
KEYWORDS: Experiential Learning Theory, engagement, retention and recruitment, mentoring,

- PRICE:

The paper is presented as a single case study, and reflects upon the approach to leadership at BMW. Key leadership theories are presented – trait and contingency, leadership styles, transformational and servant leadership – and the paper shows that despite no explicit vision existing for the company, leadership values are nevertheless embodied in the company’s general outlook and systems. How such processes work is discussed in relation to a major division of the manufacturer – the Research and Engineering Centre. The setting of visions and values is vital, but coaching and even “spiritual” leadership play a vital role. The global nature of the company makes strategic change a major preoccupation for BMW. Its corporate governance structure is also examined.
