Frankie's Home Run, Emilio F. Iodice Jul 2020

Frankie's Home Run, Emilio F. Iodice

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

[Excerpt] Families of immigrants are all different and all the same. They face the hardship of assimilation in a new culture while clinging to the values they left behind. Such was the case for a baby born in the South Bronx in 1946. His mother wrote Francesco on his birth certificate. In his home, which was a small piece of Italy in the New World, he had one name but when he stepped out the door into the world of Americans, he had another. In the enclave in New York City of people from the island his parents immigrated from …

[Excerpt] During a time when the world is facing unprecedented impact from Covid-19, the topic of meat consumption is perhaps more relevant than ever. With the virus linked to zoonotic factors and with many US meat processing plants designated coronavirus hotspots collectively threatening the supply chain (Wendy’s restaurants, for example, in early May of 2020 experienced a shortage of fresh beef curtailing portions of its menu), now is a prime time for deep reflection on the benefits a vegan diet may provide. Preventing future pandemics may now be the fourth motivation incentivizing the meat-eating public to question their food 2 …


A Leadership Test Like Few Others, Ritch Eich Jul 2020

A Leadership Test Like Few Others, Ritch Eich

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

[Excerpt] The year is 1968 – two years after I enlisted in the United States Navy as a reservist – and the place is a man-made island built in the ‘30s in San Francisco Bay for the Golden State International Exposition: Naval Station Treasure Island. I was berthed temporarily at Treasure Island, awaiting orders and assuming I was about to get shipped off to Vietnam. Instead, and much to my surprise, I was sent to the brig where I learned invaluable lessons in leadership.


Transformational Leadership, Information Technology, Knowledge Management, Firm Performance: How Are They Linked?, Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh Jul 2020

Transformational Leadership, Information Technology, Knowledge Management, Firm Performance: How Are They Linked?, Mostafa Sayyadi Ghasabeh

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

This paper investigates the possible effect of information technology on facilitating knowledge management processes by developing a link between transformational leadership and information technology. Research indicates that leaders that care considered transformational, are posited as change agents as they deploy information technology of a firm coupled with their transformational-leadership style. Information technology plays a mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and knowledge management. Existing literature combine the interactions between transformational leadership and knowledge management. I expand on this concept by attempting to better understand the mechanisms by which knowledge management and firm performance are influenced by transformational leadership. …


Leader Influence: A Research Review Of French & Raven’S (1959) Power Dynamics, Mary Kovach Jul 2020

Leader Influence: A Research Review Of French & Raven’S (1959) Power Dynamics, Mary Kovach

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

After reviewing nearly 70 years of research, this manuscript seeks to compile study results to better understand leader influence by employing French and Raven’s (1959) power dynamics. Divided into two categories (i.e. formal and informal), these five power dynamics include referent, expert, legitimate, coercive, and reward power. Each power dynamic is categorized accordingly and dissected between scholarly research and applicable workplace settings between supervisors (i.e. leaders) and employees. Behavioral outcomes from a subordinate standpoint are discussed, and this manuscript concludes that the power dynamic that characterizes different workplace relationships between supervisors and employees has significant effects on work productivity and …


Reflections On Humanity’S Moral Consciousness: Uncovering The Foundation Of Values-Based Leadership, Joseph P. Hester Jul 2020

Reflections On Humanity’S Moral Consciousness: Uncovering The Foundation Of Values-Based Leadership, Joseph P. Hester

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

[Introduction] Metaphorically, both “conscience” and “moral consciousness” have similar meanings as both are representative of an “inner moral voice.” In this article “moral consciousness” is used with reference to an active, intentional, and communal “moral awareness” considerate of feelings that are personal and collective. Thus, rather than being a depository for one’s beliefs and moral sentiments, an inner voice that somehow reaches out and speaks to us, the moral consciousness is a revolving flow of ideas and opinions offering views, sifted through reason and communal consultation, about what is or what is not moral behavior. Utilizing an analysis by Roy …
