Entrepreneurship And Leadership - Prerequisites For A Winning Organisation, Graeme Cocks, Jens Mueller, Magdalena Hadji Dec 2007

Entrepreneurship And Leadership - Prerequisites For A Winning Organisation, Graeme Cocks, Jens Mueller, Magdalena Hadji

Graeme Cocks

Effective leaders strive to attract and develop the right people with the right attitude in the right positions aligned to their organizational strategy. From this premise, we identify a driver of winning performance created by developing future leaders from within and at all levels of the organization in an effort to produce a self-sustaining leadership culture and team. We speculate that the addition of an entrepreneurial culture to this leadership domain will create superior organizational performance. Entrepreneurship and leadership performance are contrasted on the basis of current literature and empirical evidence gained from assessments of high performing organizations over the …

An Empirical Investigation Of The Antecedents, Behaviors, And Outcomes Of Bad Leadership, Anthony Erickson, James Shaw, Zha Agabe

Results identified the prevalence of bad leaders; behaviours causing a leader to be perceived as bad; the impact of bad leaders on the employee and organisation; whether these bad leaders had always been bad; and what happened to the bad leader. An interesting discovery was that the majority of bad leaders were either promoted or rewarded by the organization.


Cognitive Asymmetry In Employee Emotional Reactions To Leadership Behaviors, Marie Dasborough Dec 2005

Cognitive Asymmetry In Employee Emotional Reactions To Leadership Behaviors, Marie Dasborough

Marie T Dasborough

This article is predicated on the idea that leaders shape workplace affective events. Based on Affective Events Theory (AET), I argue that leaders are sources of employee positive and negative emotions at work. Certain leader behaviors displayed during interactions with their employees are the sources of these affective events. The second theoretical underpinning of the article is the Asymmetry Effect of emotion. Consistent with this theory, employees are more likely to recall negative incidents than positive incidents. In a qualitative study, evidence that these processes exist in the workplace was found. Leader behaviors were sources of positive or negative emotional …

One of Frank's sons holds a position on the board and although Frank wants this son to eventually take over the business, the anointed son does not have the skills required or the passion to pursue the position. The third generation Bauers' are now questioning their involvement in the business and what role, if any, they …
