“I See You!” – The Zulu Insight To Caring Leadership, Cam Caldwell, Sylivia Atwijuka
“I See You!” – The Zulu Insight To Caring Leadership, Cam Caldwell, Sylivia Atwijuka
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Although the role of leaders in building relationships with team members has been well-established as a foundation for improved performance (Beer, 2009), the complex challenges in directing the modern organization in a highly competitive global marketplace often mean that leaders of organizations are more focused on tasks rather than people. Nonetheless, a growing body of research about the importance of leader-member relationships confirms that leaders who demonstrate a caring commitment to the welfare of organization members also create organizations that are more profitable, more innovative, and more effective at meeting customer needs (Cameron, 2003; Kouzes & Posner, 2012).
Values-Based Network Leadership In An Interconnected World, Andrew Stricker, Todd Westhauer, Travis Sheets, Toni Hawkins-Scribner, Cynthia Calongne, Barbara Truman
Values-Based Network Leadership In An Interconnected World, Andrew Stricker, Todd Westhauer, Travis Sheets, Toni Hawkins-Scribner, Cynthia Calongne, Barbara Truman
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This paper describes values-based network leadership conceptually aligned to systems science, principles of networks, moral and ethical development, and connectivism. Values-based network leadership places importance on a leader's repertoire of skills for stewarding a culture of purpose and calling among distributed teams in a globally interconnected world. Values-based network leadership is applicable for any leader needing to align interdependent effort by networks of teams operating across virtual and physical environments to achieve a collective purpose. An open-learning ecosystem is also described to help leaders address the development of strengths associated with building trust and relationships across networks of teams, aligned …
Servant Leadership And Its Impact On Ethical Climate, Regan Dodd, Rebecca M. Achen, Angela Lumpkin
Servant Leadership And Its Impact On Ethical Climate, Regan Dodd, Rebecca M. Achen, Angela Lumpkin
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Many leaders in intercollegiate athletics are under attack due to an overemphasis on winning and revenue generation. In response, some have recommended a transition to a servant leadership approach because of its focus on the well-being of followers and ethical behaviors (Burton & Welty Peachey, 2013; Welty Peachey, Zhou, Damon, & Burton, 2015). The purpose of this study was to examine athletic directors’ potential demonstration of servant leadership and possible contribution to an ethical climate in NCAA Division III institutions. Participants were 326 athletic staff members from NCAA Division III institutions. Results indicated athletic staff members believed athletic directors displayed …
Burning Man Values Examined: Gratitude As A Culturally-Driven And Value-Based Organizational Mainstay, J. Duane Hoover, Robert Giambatista, Sheila Curl Hoover
Burning Man Values Examined: Gratitude As A Culturally-Driven And Value-Based Organizational Mainstay, J. Duane Hoover, Robert Giambatista, Sheila Curl Hoover
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Gratitude expression is examined as a culturally-derived principle that can be adopted as a best practices strategy that can make organizations more dynamic and human relationships more meaningful. Burning Man is presented as an exemplar of gratitude implementation by crafting the expression of gratitude into an elevated organizational phenomenon (including a cultural principal of unconditional gifting). Burning Man has also crafted a “Culture of Appreciation” as a set of organizationally-derived practices complementary to processes of gratitude implementation. The paper concludes with a discussion of gratitude and appreciation as an organizational mainstay.
Responsible Leadership And Sustainable Development In Post-Independent Africa: A Kenyan Experience, Dickson Nkonge Kagema
Responsible Leadership And Sustainable Development In Post-Independent Africa: A Kenyan Experience, Dickson Nkonge Kagema
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The political independence in Africa was welcomed with joy and a heap of expectations, as Africans believed that the new African governments would bring sustainable development after years of subjugation, exploitation, and oppression. Unfortunately, this has not been the case. Today, many years after the attainment of political independence, many African nations largely remain underdeveloped, burdened with poverty, diseases, poor communication networks, illiteracy, tribal animosity, economic challenges, and injustices, ― all of which affect every aspect of African life. This study, which involved 160 respondents purposely selected from the 47 counties in Kenya, aimed to investigate why Africa continues to …

Transformational Leadership And Knowledge Management: Analysing The Knowledge Management Models, Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh, Michael J. Provitera
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the mutual relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge management as well the potential effects of a transformational leader on his or her followers. In this paper, we review the role of transformational leadership in effective knowledge management and establish the emerging role of transformational leadership, as an ideal leadership style in building knowledge-based companies to achieve a higher degree of competitive advantage. The findings in this article are based upon previous empirical studies that illustrate the formulation of several propositions that contribute to the knowledge management processes. Our findings are based …
Components Of Ethical Leadership And Their Importance In Sustaining Organizations Over The Long Term, Niall Hegarty, Salvatore Moccia
Components Of Ethical Leadership And Their Importance In Sustaining Organizations Over The Long Term, Niall Hegarty, Salvatore Moccia
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This article identifies components of ethical leadership and then aligns them with the style of leadership that includes them. The importance of such an article comes at a time when ethical practices or lack thereof seems to be increasingly prevalent in many organizations’ execution of their business practices. These organizations quite often have an ethics statement outlining required behavior of employees and tout their commitment to employees, society, and the customer, yet we continue to see major infractions of these codes of ethics. All this comes at a high financial cost to organizations. In order to avoid such fines, and …
Value Congruence Among Transformative Leaders In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Yvette Lynne Bonaparte
Value Congruence Among Transformative Leaders In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Yvette Lynne Bonaparte
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Values have been defined as a generalized enduring organization of beliefs about the personal and social desirability of modes of conduct or “end-states of existence” (Klende, 2005). The congruence of personal values and organizational values represent an important opportunity for positive business results and outcomes (Klende, 2005). Based on the results of this qualitative study among transformative African American women leaders in the pharmaceutical industry, it is possible that value congruence may be a factor in the success experienced by these study participants. Three value themes are reported to describe the leadership values of these study participants. They are: “people,” …
Leadership And The Athe, Scott Secore
Leadership And The Athe, Scott Secore
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
In today’s increasingly globalized, competitive, and fiscally-afflicted, higher-education environment, academic leaders are regularly expected to serve as both “visionaries” and “managers” adept in all forms of political, economic, and social engagement. Likewise, performing arts leaders share a similar fate, as they need to be versatile tacticians skilled equally in both business and art. Given these realities, for higher education performing arts programs, the challenges are greater. These programs — and their parent institutions — require leadership and leaders capable of handling both immediate complexity and long-term transformation. As such, leadership development critical to this mission is a priority. This article …

Beyond Bathsheba: Managing Ethical Climates Through Pragmatic Ethics, Joseph E. Long
Beyond Bathsheba: Managing Ethical Climates Through Pragmatic Ethics, Joseph E. Long
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This paper explores the puzzling nature of leader behavior in order to understand the conditions that encourage unethical decision-making. Building on the extant literature of pragmatic ethics, I explore how leaders can increase the quality of ethical decision-making within their organizations by understanding the incentives of rational choice. I have developed a rational choice-based ethical decision-making model to understand the incentives behind ethical leader behavior and find that ethical behavior is likely to be rational as long as audience costs remain higher than the savings benefits incurred by unethical behavior. I conclude with analysis of how the ethical rational model …
The Power Of The Covenant Idea For Leadership, Reform, And Ethical Behavior, Kahlib J. Fischer
The Power Of The Covenant Idea For Leadership, Reform, And Ethical Behavior, Kahlib J. Fischer
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The study of leadership is awash with numerous concepts, many of which overlap. To the student and the scholar, finding a starting point and integrative theme for leadership ideas which extend from interpersonal to organizational contexts can be dizzying. This paper proposes the idea of covenant as a unifying metaphor for these valuable and often overlapping leadership ideas. The covenantal approach has had a tremendous impact on the history of Western legal and perhaps, more importantly, social and cultural thought and therefore might offer us a realistic and practical approach to effective leadership. In particular, we will see that a …

When Leadership Leads To Loathing: The Effect Of Culturally (In)Congruent Leadership On Employee Contempt And Voluntary Work Behaviors, Berit Sund, Rune Lines
When Leadership Leads To Loathing: The Effect Of Culturally (In)Congruent Leadership On Employee Contempt And Voluntary Work Behaviors, Berit Sund, Rune Lines
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This article suggests that contempt ― a proclivity towards loathing others ― as an emotional response, can arise as a consequence of culturally incongruent leadership, i.e. leader behaviors and actions that do not comply with follower-held, culturally derived expectations and values. Outcomes of contempt were also studied by hypothesizing that contempt, when experienced in response to a situation of culturally incongruent leadership, can cause followers to reduce their display of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) while engaging in deviant behaviors. The model was tested in a sample of 348 follower-level employees using structural equation modeling. Empirical results largely support theoretical hypotheses. …
Discerning The Servant’S Path: Applying Pre-Committal Questioning To Greenleaf’S Servant Leadership, Henry J. Davis
Discerning The Servant’S Path: Applying Pre-Committal Questioning To Greenleaf’S Servant Leadership, Henry J. Davis
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Robert K. Greenleaf’s servant leadership has become an attractive approach for morally-motivated leaders. However, paradoxes found in servant leadership have the potential to create confusion among those individuals interested in its practice. To assist prospective leaders in deciding upon whether to follow the concepts of servant leadership, an exhaustive literature review was conducted by the researcher to find and code definitions from servant leadership-related writings. The results from the initial coding phase were the following themes: Personal Growth, Development, and Empowerment of Employees; Spiritual, Affirmational, and Ethically-Minded Approach toward Employees; Steward Dedicated to Service of Community and Placing Others First; …
An Examination Of Demographics, Personal Values, And Philosophical Orientations Of College Students From Multiple University Campuses, Mary Kovach
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The purpose of this study is to identify what current students value today and to determine whether there is a link between personal values and student demographics. A brief demographic survey of fourteen questions was developed and distributed, along with a twenty-question survey which is used determine participant’s values, or philosophical orientation (McKee, Boyatzis, & Johnston, 2008). There were two hundred and forty-two subjects who volunteered over a two-week time period for this research project. Analysis was completed comparing various demographics (such as age, gender, nationality, first generation students) to determine if certain demographics strongly correlated with a particular philosophical …
Understanding Kindness – A Moral Duty Of Human Resource Leaders, Cam Caldwell
Understanding Kindness – A Moral Duty Of Human Resource Leaders, Cam Caldwell
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
The role of leaders in the modern organization has evolved as scholars and practitioners have recognized that a key element to long-term profitability is the creation of high trust and high commitment work systems that treat employees as valued partners (Kim & Wright, 2011; Block, 2013; Beer, 2009; Caldwell & Floyd, 2014). Effective leaders create aligned organizational cultures with systems, processes, practices, and programs reinforcing the organization’s espoused values in achieving its mission (Schein, 2010). Human resource professionals (HRPs) play a critical leadership role in ensuring that human resource management (HRM) cultural elements are properly integrated, communicated effectively to employees, …
Transformational Leadership: Building An Effective Culture To Manage Organisational Knowledge, Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh, Michael J. Provitera
Transformational Leadership: Building An Effective Culture To Manage Organisational Knowledge, Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh, Michael J. Provitera
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This paper reviews the current literature of management to indicate how transformational leaders contribute to organisational knowledge by building an effective culture. The paper is based on a review of leadership theories, organisational knowledge, organisational culture and the integration of concepts from the knowledge-based view of the firm. This review also indicates that to develop organisational knowledge transformational leaders act as change agents who influence organisational culture which can in turn mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and organisational knowledge.
Engineering Leadership Programs In Colleges And Universities: A Focus On Morality, Russ Carfagno
Engineering Leadership Programs In Colleges And Universities: A Focus On Morality, Russ Carfagno
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Engineering programs at the college and university level have increased their focus on engineering leadership programs over the last decade. The education has focused primarily on skill-based subjects such as organizing, effective communication, and team-building. There is evidence that supports the ability to improve leadership ability by including material related to moral disengagement and moral identity in any leadership development program. This paper describes what is being done today and evidence to support changes in current programs.
Values-Based Leadership, M.S. Rao
Values-Based Leadership, M.S. Rao
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
It is imperative to underscore the urgent need for values-based leadership worldwide – in our governments, academic institutions, and businesses. The lack thereof explains the collapse of global companies such as Enron, Tyco, Lehman Brothers, WorldCom, and Global Crossing due to unethical practices. This clarion call to inject principled decision-making in all forms of life and work is demarcated by inspiring examples of ethical leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa. It places emphasis more on the “means” of attainment rather than on “ends” to excel as ethical leaders. It outlines the characteristics of values-based leaders …
