Consequently, a resilient social fabric becomes crucial for people to feel included and benefit from their differences. The quality of relationships and the social environments, within which they are constantly being formed, are critical for successfully addressing divisive challenges and the destructive conflicts they might spawn. This chapter proposes a framework of three considerations for transforming conflict: 1. The mode of relationship- how the Self relates to the Other, 2. The understanding of conflict, and 3. The social environment and the role of leadership. Revisiting assumptions pertaining to these considerations can support a shift from the unit of the individual (typically characterizes Western cultural and scientific traditions) to the relational unit. This shift is viewed as a premise for long-term conflict transformation from adversarial interactions into dialogic relation. The latter is suggested as a constructive mode of relationship: a way of being with one another that diminishes destructive relationship while generating the conditions for benefiting and learning from conflict. The chapter concluded with an example of relational transformation as a combination of both micro efforts- consciousness raising to relational dynamics, and macro work—restructuring social context and advancing systemic changes in education.","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130995558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, considerable research suggests that their impact on organizational performance might actually be minimal. These claims of leader irrelevance pose a puzzle: If leaders are relatively insignificant, why would someone commit to leading? Applying decision-making theory, I first consider justifying the decision to lead according to the logics of consequence and appropriateness—the two principal decision-making logics underlying previous work on the motivation to lead. I then present the logic of absurdity—a decision-making logic in which decision makers knowingly choose to dedicate themselves to an irrational course of action. In terms of the decision to lead, a decision maker employing the logic of absurdity acknowledges the likely futility of leading but decides to commit to it nonetheless. I conclude by considering when leaders are most likely to decide to lead according to the logic of absurdity and...","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121356325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is it a requirement, an asset or a regulatory method? Are an Indian’s values a synthesis and an obvious result of the erudite process of socialization and internalization (Parsons, 1966).Indian cultural values have always been upheld in practice and principle. But, when there is any practice that is not co-linear to the ‘taught’ or ‘imbibed’ values, then the person faces an ‘ethical’ dilemma. This is often seen when the profession guides or coaxes the person to do something in his area of work that may not be seen by him as ‘morally’ correct or a right practice.The failure to resolve inner conflicts of cherishing Indian cultural values at the personal level and maintaining high standards of objectivity at the professional level has been reflected in methodologically sophisticated but socially irrelevant research. The study seeks to examine the construct of value conflict and the conflict between individual values and organizational values.The paper looks at the role of leader-member exchange (LMX) in expression of opinion about values in a state of conflict in the same. Superiors can have a significant influence over a subordinate’s decision to ‘speak-up’ or ‘remain silent’. Supervisors and leaders not only create opportunities for voice by providing formal and informal voice mechanisms, but also shape the cognitions that drive the decision of whether or not to voice (Ashford et al., 2009).","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124933196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comparison is based on the findings of a research conducted with participation of a total of 133 owners or leaders employed in private companies and governmental institutions. Based on tailor made questionnaire, the results lead to conclusion that major part of the participants in both researched groups practice democratic leadership style with transactional leadership sub-style, whereas the transformational leadership style is nearly not practiced at all. At the same time, the leadership competencies are similarly distributed between the representatives of both sectors, with significant differences in only two researched competencies. Taking this into account, the migration of leaders from private to public sector and vice versa is expected to go smoothly and without significant problems arising from differences in the leadership styles and competences. However, the identified differences between the leaders in the different sectors require attention in order to support seamless transition from one sector to the other. Having this in mind, we propose a development of a Model for upgrading of leadership capacities necessary for successful transition of leadership from the public to private sector and vice versa.","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134524910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
