In general, practice is far ahead of research in terms of leadership development, which is also the case for coaching. While coaching is a widespread practice and there are more than 40 institutions offering coaching education in Norway today, there is still virtually no scientific evidence about what coaching is used for and how it works. This paper is primarily a quantitative overview of a representative sample of Norwegian companies’ practices when it comes to coaching, and what are their purposes with coaching. Moreover, we try to estimate the economic scope of the use of coaching in Norwegian companies.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131623913","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}

Sanghvi","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2176941","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2176941","url":null,"abstract":"At a time when many Western economies are grappling with the effects of older and, in some cases, shrinking workforces, the balance of global labour supply is shifting to emerging economies. The size of workforces in these economies is staggering, with both China and India’s individual workforces being larger than those of Europe, the United States and Japan Combined. India’s labour force is expected to grow by 31 percent over the next 20 years (2010-30). By 2050, India will have only 19 percent of its population above age 60, compared to 39 percent, 53 percent and 67 percent of populations above the age of 65 in the United States, Germany and Japan respectively (Accenture’s High-performance Workforce Study, “learning transformation,” Business today.) Having a large young population can be a great asset for India, provided it is able to take on the challenging task of educating and training the workforce of tomorrow to equip them to contribute to its growth story. Harnessing the demographic dividend through appropriate skill development efforts would provide an opportunity to achieve inclusion and productivity within the country and also address the gap in the global skill shortage. In this study, my main focus is on the relations between executives’ effectiveness and management education and training. In addition to this, I also verified executives’ effectiveness with reference to different demographic factors like Gender, Age, Education and Experience. In this research, it has been taken in to consideration that whether executives’ effectiveness affects organization’s profit, sales and turnover.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114943307","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}

Box","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2011856","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2011856","url":null,"abstract":"This quantitative nonexperimental proposed research study investigates the problem of managers at a Fortune 500 Company in the western United States being unaware and insensitive to worker’s cultural backgrounds during business activities. Leadership competence in the twenty-first century is missing a cultural component, whereas dispositions or actions must include foreign-understandings and adjustments of behavior during business activities. The purpose for this proposed research study is to investigate relationships between leadership behaviors in the 21st century. This proposed research study contributes to contemporary management theory by calculating an ANOVA between the Cultural Intelligence constructs, and the constructs of the Transformational leadership. This proposed research study investigates how this combination influences managers in modern business. Empirically comparing the transformational management responses with the responses from the Cultural Intelligence Scale, CQ levels now become essential ingredients for leaders to guide any corporation successfully forward into the future. This proposed research study educates managers by improving their Cultural Intelligence, and demonstrates how the company can benefit through the development of leadership and subordinate cultural intelligences. The challenge for the proposed research is to be sensitive toward indicators for increased education and training classes to expand managers’ Cultural Intelligence skill-set. This quantitative nonexperimental proposed research study involves 176 responses for the five-minute survey. Improved cultural awareness and education benefits established managers, and trains new managers in the corporation.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116909008","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}

It provides a mechanism in organisations by which experienced managers can pass on their wisdom, helping to shape their mentee’s values and beliefs in a positive way. It is thus an all-inclusive relationship and process, and includes everything done to support mentee's orientation and professional development, in contrast to other developmental approaches such as coaching and counseling, where the emphasis is on getting the person to come up with their own solutions. It is an ideal vehicle for leadership development, addressing the individual’s needs and opening up opportunities for organizational growth. The paper highlights several important research issues arising from both theoretical and practical considerations in mentoring programs, and attempts to integrate them into a model for mentoring effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126197363","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}

Although a laudable and much-needed area of investigation, there is a lack of data measuring the impact and efficacy of factors that might support pro-social character development in college students. The purpose of this study was to discover what factors best predict and therefore promote pro-social character in college students with the focus in this case on activities, goals, and values related to student peer relationships. This research also examined how activities, goals, and values related to student peer relationships predict other standard collegiate program measurements, including satisfaction with campus community, satisfaction with interaction with other students, and overall satisfaction with college. Secondarily, this study also examined the influence of gender, institutional characteristics, residential status, and major field of study in predicting pro-social character development. This research utilized a longitudinal study which examines the relationship between character self-ratings by students on the CSBV2003 (College Students Beliefs and Values Survey) and aforementioned variables in the CSBV2003, the SIF2000 (Student Information Form), and the CIRP (Cooperative Institutional Research Program) higher education institutional characteristics regarding type, control, and selectivity, using the database maintained by the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) of UCLA. The design of the study employed Causal Analytic Modeling with Blocked Regression Analysis (CAMBRA) on quantitative data derived from the SIF (2000) and CSBV (2003) surveys on a representative sampling of college students comprising the cohort of entering first-year students in fall 2000 at forty-six colleges and universities of which 12,030 students were sent the CSBV2003 with 3,680 students responding. This study utilized CAMBRA within the IEO model (Input-Environment-Outcome) developed by Astin and colleagues at the HERI to utilize advantages of CAMBRA and best allow for sequential modeling and causal analysis for studying what factors best support certain outcomes. The goal was to better understand and highlight the variables that best predict pro-social character development in college students so that college administrators and faculty, as well as parents and students, can promote pro-social character development. The hypotheses included that predictors of pro-social character development included involvement in activities, goals, and values related to student peer relationships. The student self-ratings were divided into four major groups: achievement orientation- which included courage, creativity, dependability, drive-to- achieve, leadership ability, and self-confidence (intelligence); compassionate self- concept, which included altruism, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, generosity, gratefulness, helpfulness, kindnes","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128368656","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}

In addition, GMAT scores continue to be an important component of applications for admission to masters programs in business and are very important for managerial development in international business. However, like any standardized test, the GMAT favors narrow analytical skills often at the expense of broader leadership skills and GMAT scores may be unduly influenced by national culture. Given that there little prior literature in this area, we contribute by showing empirically that cultural differences have considerable influence on GMAT scores. Specifically, we document that GMAT scores are negatively related to the cultural dimensions of masculinity and power distance and are positively related to uncertainty avoidance and individualism. We estimate that cultural factors may account for as much as an 80-point difference in cross national mean GMAT scores and that they are also related negatively to national educational spending, wealth per capita, and women’s development. These findings have important implications for international business leadership and should be of interest to education scholars, business schools, and to managers interested in team work skills and corporate leadership.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127602055","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}

International competition and internal raising expectations have lead governments across the world to reconfigure their relationships with the surrounding environments. In doing so, they mostly switched to a newer paradigm, based not on affirmation and mechanical theories, but on the concept of a living, biological system. Following this trend, many governments and their subsequent organizations choose to become flexible and decentralized, to recognize once again the importance of horizontal collaboration and internal partnerships and to value information. In this trend, ITC represents one of the modern instruments that may help implementing democracy and developing current public services as well as educational systems. Fully aware of the need for a revolution in the organizational culture of public administration and of a transition towards a horizontal, service-oriented administration with intensive information exchange among all its partners, Romania has adopted the European vision on e-government and e-governance, preparing itself for a complete transformation that the new technologies both produce and allow. In this context, 'The Government’s Strategy concerning the National Action Plan e-administration', enacted in October 2001 by the Romanian Parliament supports the European idea of getting the governance closer to its citizens. As this vision is described within the paper, the authors will analyze the Romanian solutions to increasing administrative efficiency. In doing so, the most relevant scientific contributions to defining the 'e-administration' concept are to be summarized and implications of its content, exercised against a Romanian background.","PeriodicalId":435876,"journal":{"name":"Leadership Development eJournal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115121834","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}
