The Leadership Landscape and Emerging

Approaches

School of Advanced Studies

• Leadership – many theories but what advice is reliable? (Allio, 2013).

• Leadership is a complex process and construct (Northouse, 2010).

o Trait vs. Process Leadership

o Assigned vs. Emergent Leadership

o Leadership and Power

o Leadership and Coercion

o Leadership and Management

• Leadership studies rely in most cases on a multidisciplinary perspective

(Avolio 2014).

Alternative Framework to study Leadership:

Leadership as Practice (Detaching leadership from

personality (Raelin, 2011).

Leadership Models are OutdatedLeading in Turbulent Times

• Leadership models are outdated and not well-suited for the information society

and knowledge-orientated economy.

• The new leadership paradigm should frame “leadership as a complex

interactive dynamic with adaptive outcomes such as learning, innovation and

adaptability.” Uhl-Bien, Marion, and McKelvey (2007: 298).

• Successful leaders see themselves as facilitators. These leaders saw their

primary responsibility as unleashing the talent of others so the collective vision

could be realized. Bennis (2012).

• How should Leadership models look like to address the current and future

challenges?

• Contingency / Servant / Authentic Leadership? / Scholar-Leader-Practitioner

(SLP)?

Four Key Imperatives Reshaping Leadership

Technology Adoption

Globalization

Value of Knowledge

Agile and Connected

Organizations

• Rapid and far reaching technological

changes, especially the digitalization of

information and communications

technology. (ICTs);

• Complex flow of information;

• Competitive Landscape

• Financial pressures

• Accelerated globalization

• Ease of creating networks and

build relationships.

• Geo-politics. Ukraine / ISIL

• Manage ambiguity.

• Shift toward knowledge as the

central factor of production.

• Emphasis on intangible assets.

• Information glut.• Distributed, less hierarchical

organizational forms with greatly

accelerated movement within and

across organizations and sectors.

Individual CharacteristicsEnhancing the REAL leadership framework

1. Digital leaders must be flexible and adaptable,and possess wide intellectual curiosity and ahunger for new knowledge.

2. Willing to see value in sharply differentperspectives, and be comfortable withuncertainty, and like all leaders at all time,must possess true passion for what they do.

3. They look globally for solutions and challenges,and also hunger for constant learning andinsist on constant learning from theircollaborators and followers.

Relationships, Networks, Power and

Reputation

• Leadership: A different approach is needed in building Power and Influenceo Power is to have control over resources and access to information.

o Social media and information society are challenging the old leadership paradigm.

o Employees are expecting more clarity, transparency and change.

• Capitalizing on the transformational power of social media while mitigating its

risks calls for a new type of leader ( McKinsey, 2013):

• Developing a Digital Identity.o Social Media has shifted the power to the individual

o Leaders who can master social media will be able to significantly increase their

influence, establish authenticity and influencing a new generation. (Tredgold, 2014).

• A diverse Twitter network — one that exposes them to people and ideas they

don’t already know — tend to generate better ideas (Parise, Whelan, Todd,

2015).

R

How to establish a Digital Identity and to

increase influence

• Create an Online profile (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook Page).

• Ensure a professional look and feel to your profile – photo and description. Ensure

your profile is up-to-date and promotes your areas of expertise.

• Search for current thought leaders via social media and browse through their

connections or those who they follow; use this to build your own network.

• Following someone on Twitter or inviting someone to connect on LinkedIn will mean

they are likely to read your profile.

• Ensure Tweets include a group with large numbers of followers within your captive

audience, for example @RCGP_InnovAiT in the hope they will Retweet to them.

• Social media allows direct access to professionals who are in a position to influence

change on a larger scale, so your ideas get noticed and work recognized.

• Social media makes keeping up-to-date and staying informed easier.

Personal Example of Building Influence and

Power: Twitter

• Need to Dominate Social Space

• Build reach and influence

• Increase of Social Power (social voltage)

Social Networking, Leadership Power and

Influence Trump vs Clinton on Twitter

School of Advanced Studies

A Twitter Comparison……

In terms of efficacy, Donald Trump would seem to outperform Hillary Clinton,

since his tweets have been retweeted a total of 12 million times – twice as many

as Clinton’s, which have been retweeted 5.5 million times.

Trump has also received 33 million likes for his tweets, almost three times as

many as Clinton, who has a total of 12 million likes. Trump averages 5,639

retweets per tweet, compared with 2,154 retweets per tweet for Clinton.

Environmental ScanningSense making and Situational Awareness

• World Economic Forum – Davos 2015: Emphasis on Leadership and

intelligence.

• Leader must possess three key attributes: contextual intelligence, emotional

intelligence, and inspired intelligence.

• Contextual intelligence enables leaders to develop a greater awareness and

see through the short term imperatives and make better informed, more

timely decisions on how best to mobilize resources in ways that deliver the

greatest long- term, sustainable value. (Business Foresight – my

interpretation).

• Wave of digitalization is fundamentally altering the way we do business.

Companies fail because their products are out of date, their core

competencies have become obsolete or new technologies have altered

processes.

• Various surveys have identified critical thinking as the number one

requirement for successful leadership in the 21st century.

E

Environmental Scanning

- an age of radical Ignorance

• Importance of keep abreast of emerging trends and innovations—not just

their competitive and marketplace implications, but also what they mean

for communications technologies, which are fundamental for creating an

agile, responsive organization. (McKinsey 2015).

• We live in an age of radical Ignorance – BBC, 2016

• Study of deliberate propagation of ignorance: Agnotology is the study of

willful acts to spread confusion and deceit, usually to sell a product or win

favor.

• Fake News

• Bounded Rationality and Satisficing – Do not just look for evidence to

support / satisfy your viewpoints / critically evaluating alternatives.

• Sense making – thinking about human perception, cognition and action.

• Weick’s sensemaking theory – understanding our own individual biases.

ActionBias Pro-active change

• Leadership and Agency – interdependent and inseparable.

Leadership is action.

• “A distinctive human characteristic through which personal agency

is exercised is the capacity of forethought.” Bandura (1989, 1179).

• “Leadership-As-Practice is concerned far more about where, how

and why leadership work is being accomplished than about who is

offering visions for others to do the work” (Raelin, 2011, p.3).

• Key principle of a Scholar-Practitioner-Leader (SPL) model

Theory is incorporated with Practice.

• REAL model is firmly embedded within the domain of Leader-as-

Practice movement.

A

Learning in a continuous and agile way

• Have a passion for learning in order to become the best leader you can

be (Kouzas and Posner 2012).

• Open to new experiences and honest examination of how you and other

perform.

• The importance of (self)-reflection in learning and becoming self-aware.

“Grounded in self-knowledge your leadership becomes more authentic.”

• Agile and being responsive to changes.

• Underlying factors (Hojat, et al. 2009):

1. Recognition of own learning needs

2. Participate in research projects

3. Self-directed learning

4. Technical and PC literacy skills

5. Personal motivation

L

Learning

Lifelong learning is the development of human potential in the areas of

knowledge, values and skills, through a continuously supportive process that

is stimulating and empowering and that fosters confidence, creativity and

enjoyment in all roles and circumstances (Hojat, et al. 2003).

Role of Social Media in Lifelong Learning:

• Extend real-life learning and relationships in a shared space to foster

professional growth.

• Allows learners to share ideas, questions and goals.

• Relevant thought leadership developments “pushed” to the leader/learner.

• CAUTION: Content is user generated – unverified by experts and

commented on by peers.

Summary

• REAL leadership framework departs from the premise that Leadership is an

individual characteristic and is rather embedded within practice.

• Leadership can improve with practice – Experience, Introspection, Skills

development contribute in developing an authentic personal identity.

• The four elements of the REAL framework is an attempt to address modern

day leadership development in an integrated and systemic manner.

Leadership is the simple act of you being who you are in the company of others. It is what you have experienced, who you are right now, and who you aim to be. Simply put: Who you are is how you lead.

- Sostrin (2017).

Analysis

• Leaders, including Leadership Education, are faced with challenges.

• Leaders will destroy their own credibility if they fail to make good sense of

their environments and develop an acute sense-making capability which led

them cut through fake news and false narratives.

• The importance of developing Critical Thinking.

• Leadership Studies need to respond to changing times.

• Could Leadership-as-Practice present an alternative to more accepted

Leadership Studies?
