Turning Around An Academic Institution Through Transformational Leadership, M. S. Rao
Turning Around An Academic Institution Through Transformational Leadership, M. S. Rao
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Professor M.S. Rao uses a real life institutional crisis to demonstrate the machinations of the transformative style of leadership. Success in one's career ‒ as well as for one’s collective team ‒ requires a firm yet open disposition, regular dialogue and feedback between stakeholders, and above all, the willingness to risk.
Values-Based Leadership: The Foundation Of Transformational Servant Leadership, Darrell Peregrym, Randy Wollf
Values-Based Leadership: The Foundation Of Transformational Servant Leadership, Darrell Peregrym, Randy Wollf
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Through case study examination, these writers describe how the practice of transformational servant leadership (TSL) is predicated upon values-based leadership (VBL) and explain that while VBL involves identifying and cultivating one’s core values, TSL requires a strong orientation to values to enable leaders to serve their people well while engaging in efforts that transform their respective organizations.
Playing Above The Breaks..., Ritch K. Eich
Playing Above The Breaks..., Ritch K. Eich
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
In his attempt to gain an understanding of true leadership traits, Eich assembled a cadre of well-known successful leaders from academe, law enforcement, journalism, foreign affairs, and athletics. What he discovered was a common thread between them: a “true” leader recognizes his or her own fallibility, resists blaming others for unsuccessful choices, and seeks the continuous feedback of an adroitly-assembled team.
Environmental Attitudes And Environmental Stewardship: Implications For Sustainability, Ron Sookram
Environmental Attitudes And Environmental Stewardship: Implications For Sustainability, Ron Sookram
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Although shareowners and boards are critical to shaping a firm’s environmental behavior, this paper gives focus to management practitioners based on their operational functions within the firm. It argues that environmental stewardship is determined by the worldview of managers from which their attitude and ethical response to environmentally-related issues are shaped. The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is applied to determine the environmental attitude of managers, but the discussion also considers the Dominant Social Paradigm (DSP) to provide further valuable insights to enhance the implications of worldviews on sustainability.
The Role Of Nhs Leaders In Times Of Austerity, Marisa Alvarez
The Role Of Nhs Leaders In Times Of Austerity, Marisa Alvarez
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This paper evaluates the role of leadership in the NHS in times of austerity, times that are characterised by budgetary cuts and privatisation. As state employees, the role of today’s NHS leaders is to enforce austerity measures by administering thought and praxis, socially reproducing, at micro-levels, ideologies and politics that are circumscribed by the government that employs them. The paper inspects the moral worth of NHS leaders and the mechanisms they utilise upon the workforce to enable them to take forward austerity, that is, to fulfill their role.

Buy High Sell Low: Redefining Bean Counting In The Coffee Industry For A Sustainable Future, Charles C. Manz, Karen P. Manz, Robert D. Marx, Pamala J. Dillon
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Charles Manz returns to the JVBL providing ‒ together with several fellow researchers/writers ‒ a case study of a socially responsible business within the coffee industry. Familiar CSR concepts are examined such as Fair Trade and sustainability which foster parity in dealing with buyers while maintaining product quality and reasonable income. The practices of Dean’s Beans, a progressive coffee organization, are examined as a notable demonstration of how a business can fiscally succeed while maintaining a commitment to the triple-bottom-line considerations of people, planet, and profits.

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This study explores the perceptions and level of awareness of teachers’ personal values and their influence on the valuation processes of their students in the specific social and cultural context of Pakistan. Within the qualitative paradigm, this study employed the deeply-structured, self-reflection process involving six teachers from three different school sites. The research participants highlighted the morality and ethics, role-modeling, affection and empathy, nation-building, and professional competency as their articulated values. Among these values, almost all of the participants regarded morality and ethics as the most prominent of the teachers. Alternatively, the more experienced teachers in this study were more …

Defining The Authenticity In Authentic Leadership, William H. Bishop
Defining The Authenticity In Authentic Leadership, William H. Bishop
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Leadership is an expansive term with many definitions and applications. Over the years, adjectives have been applied in an effort to further define and narrow its scope and application, i.e., transactional, transformational, and servant. The term authentic leadership is no different. However, what sets it apart as a field of study and method of practice is both its definition and innuendo. Defining authenticity in terms of values, ethics, and self-will delineate its meaning in terms of its application and relevance amongst contemporary theories. Furthermore, identifying it as a brand of leadership will demonstrate its value — both intrinsic and external. …

The review highlights the need to understand paternalistic leadership as an approach to establishing productive relationships within a cultural context, with implications for researchers and practitioners in both collectivist and individualistic cultures.
Mentoring: Adding Value To Organizational Culture, Joseph P. Hester, Rick Setzer
Mentoring: Adding Value To Organizational Culture, Joseph P. Hester, Rick Setzer
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
Given that leadership is value-based and relationship-permeated, one asks how leaders can transfer personal and organizational value to employees. One answer to this is through mentoring. Mentoring young or inexperienced workers is an investment in the future of business, the school system, organizations, etc. Understanding this idea is difficult because current mentoring research demonstrates that mentoring is more convoluted than was once thought. This article will make an effort to untangle some of this research and then suggest a “common sense” and “practical” definition of “mentoring.” This is a definition that can be used in large and small businesses, in …
Millennials: What They Offer Our Organizations And How Leaders Can Make Sure They Deliver, Paul R. Dannar
Millennials: What They Offer Our Organizations And How Leaders Can Make Sure They Deliver, Paul R. Dannar
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
According to recent Pew research, ten thousand Baby Boomers reach age 65 every day in the United States and the pace will continue for the next 18 years; similar numbers are also reported for Canada and Europe. The effect on the workforce will be dramatic, perhaps even more dramatic than the effect they had when they arrived on the scene six decades ago. Thus, it falls not to Generation-X, as this generational cohort is too small to make a significant impact, rather the task shifts to the Millennials. Much has been said of the youngest generation currently in the workplace. …
Ethical Leadership In Kazakhstan: An Exploratory Study, A. Michael Conrad
Ethical Leadership In Kazakhstan: An Exploratory Study, A. Michael Conrad
The Journal of Values-Based Leadership
This study measured ethical leadership perceptions utilizing a new corporate culture scale in a Central Asian country. Ethical leadership ratings from 103 Kazakhstani employees were used to determine how they perceived their managers in terms of being moral people and moral managers. Results indicate that managers are perceived as relatively weaker moral managers as compared to moral persons. Holding employees accountable for their actions is the lowest rated aspect of the moral manager. Definitions of moral persons and moral managers in Kazakhstan vary somewhat from an American culture-oriented ethical leadership model. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
