Conflict In Business Organization: Ingredient For Organizational Development, Samson Adebisi, Felicia Olaniyi-Adegun
Conflict In Business Organization: Ingredient For Organizational Development, Samson Adebisi, Felicia Olaniyi-Adegun
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
There is a popular assumption that conflict is so destructive that the goal of good management should be to minimize friction. According to Robert and Judy (2002), the Conflict-Positive Organization takes the opposite position and presents the argument that conflict, when well managed, adds substantial value to the organization. Effects of conflict could be destructive or constructive; it depends on the expertise that manages it in an organization, Lawrence and Jeffrey (1987). Some conflict management experts transform conflict from destructive to a constructive form, making use of opposing ideas to make decisions, negotiate their differences, and deal with anger to …
Gray Hair And A Doctorate: A Prerequisite To Being A Good Education Administrator?, Elizabeth Gould
Gray Hair And A Doctorate: A Prerequisite To Being A Good Education Administrator?, Elizabeth Gould
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Traditionally, from a very young age, children are taught to respect their elders. This tradition tends to carry over to their adult lives when they enter the work arena. Age means experience and knowledge, and these young pups who come in wagging their tails and jumping around, so full of excitement and new ideas, must be taught to calm down and control themselves. Let’s face it; we don’t need any messes on the carpet. Nowhere is this contrast between young energy and older experience more evident than in the world of academia.

They outline lessons learned from virtual coaching initiatives and present research results showing the positive impact of this approach on both teachers and students. They also provide advice for those using this approach on making contact and providing feedback.
Participative Management, Michael Rivera
Participative Management, Michael Rivera
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
The theory behind participative management originated in the 1930s as a result of a business study conducted by Elton Mayo, who explored Frederick W. Taylor’s scientific management principles. His findings challenged Taylor’s views, which emphasized the importance of social norms, such as communication, participation, and leadership (Marchant 1976). Decades later, renewed interest in participative management hinged upon the desire for seeking better management practices, namely top-notch quality management systems, better employee relations, and integrated design and production teams (Lawler 1996).
Expectancy Theory And Its Implications For Employee Motivation, Isaac Mathibe
Expectancy Theory And Its Implications For Employee Motivation, Isaac Mathibe
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
The significance of employee motivation as the panacea of productivity in organizations is illustrated by the volumes of literature on motivation and human productivity. For example, social theorists are of the view that employees are motivated by their needs and they develop through and in relationship with others (Dawson, 1993). The implication of the preceding statement is that when there is synergy between employees’ needs and organizational needs, they – employees – will be more acquiescent to productive tendencies than when their needs are not gratified. Invariably, the balancing of employees’ labour with their social needs and expectations is necessary …
Multi-Perspective Systems Thinking Arrives At School, Curt Duffy
Multi-Perspective Systems Thinking Arrives At School, Curt Duffy
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Managers who cling, dogmatically and unquestioningly, to a single view of leadership are especially apt to fail in educational institutions, where critical thinking and serious debate are part of the daily routine. Such unskilled application of simplistic leadership philosophies is seen even more often now that the corporate model, and its focus on basic accountability, is being integrated into the educational sector. Today’s educational administrators desperately need sophisticated training to help them apply forprofit methodologies to the more value-based and institutionalized educational arena.`
A Follower's View Of Leadership, Albert Desimone Jr.
A Follower's View Of Leadership, Albert Desimone Jr.
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Leadership and leaders—the embodiment of leadership—exist to effect positive change. If we were all satisfied with the way things are in the world, there would be no need for leaders. We would still need managers to oversee the individuals who maintain the status quo, and we would still need supervisors to oversee the tasks and processes associated with that maintenance.
Dodgeball, Disco, And Dreams: Reflections On Faculty Workload And Assessment At Scu’S, Daniel Kulmala
Dodgeball, Disco, And Dreams: Reflections On Faculty Workload And Assessment At Scu’S, Daniel Kulmala
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Fellow faculty members, I have something urgent to say, something that will, no doubt, shock nearly every one of you who reads this article. But, again, I believe that it needs to be said, and we should no longer be polite about what we all know to be the truth. No doubt, due to the brutal nature of my message, some of you will want to turn your attention to another article. My friends in academia, we are all squirrels chasing too many nuts.
The Future Of Site-Based Management: Principals Are The Key, Agnes Richardson
The Future Of Site-Based Management: Principals Are The Key, Agnes Richardson
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Site-Based Management (SBM), also known as decentralization, is a process that gives decision-making power over educational programs to individual schools instead of district offices with the ultimate goal of improved student learning (Hansen 2005; Tanner and Stone 1998; Walker 2007). It is a concept that was introduced to education over two decades ago (Cromwell 2005). There are a number of states and major cities in the United States that have legislated and mandated SBM programs, including Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles (Chittum 2006; Walker 2007). SBM successes and failures have a …

The Bullying Boss, Anne Jefferson
The Bullying Boss, Anne Jefferson
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Leadership has mistakenly been assumed to be a quality processed by all individuals who have positions of authority. Implied is the ability to “draw others into the active pursuit of the strategic goals” (Cunningham and Cordeiro, 2006, p. 155) of the organization. This ability energizes faculty to take the organization to greater heights of achievement. But, as Elash (2004) clearly pointed out, “the corporate scandals at the turn of the millennium clearly demonstrate that leaders can be self-serving and greedy …. Even if they are well intentioned, leaders can abuse their power. … Some are just bullies who mistreat others …

Department Chairs’ Perception Of Faculty Participation In Accreditation Activities: A Follow-Up Survey, Cathryn Peterson
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
The purpose of this study was to explore physical therapy department chairs’ perceptions of the extent to which their faculty members participated in the activities leading to accreditation, and whether or not this participation was associated with accreditation outcome. This study was conducted and completed in 2004 as a follow-up to a previous study that explored the relationships among accreditation outcome and management style employed by the chair person, faculty participation in accreditation activities, faculty commitment to implementing the plans delineated in the accreditation documentation, and faculty support of the accreditation process.
“The Management Of Creativity”, Managing The Creative Mind: A Business Elective, Peter A. Maresco, John Gerlach
“The Management Of Creativity”, Managing The Creative Mind: A Business Elective, Peter A. Maresco, John Gerlach
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
The immediate problem facing the authors was replacing someone with the background and stature of Joseph Abboud with an individual or, as it eventually worked out, four individuals with differing creative backgrounds and levels of success that would be of benefit to the students (in the spring 2006 semester the course was offered to undergraduate business students) enrolled in the course. Replacing Abboud proved to be not as difficult as the authors originally imagined. Within a period of three weeks, four individuals with diverse backgrounds in film, music, sports entertainment, and entrepreneurship were identified and agreed to take part in …
Benchmarking Succession Planning & Executive Development In Higher Education, Jonathon Clunies
Benchmarking Succession Planning & Executive Development In Higher Education, Jonathon Clunies
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
Higher education has historically been slow to adopt many corporate management processes. Succession planning is an especially difficult concept to apply in academia due to dramatic cultural differences between the boardroom and the campus. College and universities often have complex and sometimes bureaucratic procedures for hiring compared with many business corporations (Rosse & Levin, 2003). In a tightening economic and growing competitive climate, innovative colleges and universities are re-examining whether succession planning, coupled with executive development, could be adapted for more cost effective transitions of power and authority.

Managing Contemporary Uk Universities – Manager-Academics And New Managerialism, Rosemary Deem, Oliver Fulton, Sam Hillyard, Rachel Johnson, Mike Reed, Stephen Watson
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)
A multi-disciplinary project entitled ‘New Managerialism and the Management of UK Universities’ was conducted by a team of researchers based at Lancaster University between October 1998 and November 2000. The study was funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (grant no R000237661). The project was designed to examine the extent to which ‘New Managerialism’, a set of reforms of the management of publicly-funded services popular with many western governments, was perceived to have permeated the management of UK universities. The study also explored the roles, practices, selection, learning and support of manager-academics. The first phase of the study …
