The Leader’S Shadow: Exploration And Development Of Executive Character By William Q Judge, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., V Uberoy Dec 2000

The Leader’S Shadow: Exploration And Development Of Executive Character By William Q Judge, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., V Uberoy

IIMB Management Review

The subject of the book and its introduction by the author touch upon a very crucial and much ignored aspect of leadership development. It deals with the inner core of the individual-what the author calls, quoting Jung, ‘complementary internal aspects of leadership’ and ‘shadows’ or the hidden parts of the inner self. This is in sharp contrast to much of the literature, where stress is laid solely on the development of outward behaviour and styles of a leader, in isolation from the character qualities. The book therefore arouses much interest and anticipation in the reader who hopes to discover ways …

IIMB Management Review

Part of being a good manager is being aware of the moral dimensions of one's role in the network and in the organisation. Managers can unwittingly engage in a wide range of role-related acts that are ethically questionable.


The Feminine Leader, Fran Siemensma Jun 2000

The Feminine Leader, Fran Siemensma

IIMB Management Review

An increasing number of management writers exploring leadership are promoting a more feminine paradigm of leadership as a means of encouraging business to become both more inclusive and more appropriately responsive. In this context feminine does not describe gender, but is being increasingly used as shorthand for a more human, holistic and inclusive model of leadership. Among these writers is Amanda Sinclair, who has strongly criticised Australian management for assuming that a leader will be ‘the heroicmale’

IIMB Management Review

Life will never be the same in the new millennium. Even more so in the case of advertising and public relations. All the rules of marketing and distribution of goods and services are being rewritten, what with the advent of sophisticated information and communication technologies on the one hand, and on the other the insatiable demands of customers and the everlasting quest of vendors to achieve cost economies in reaching their goods and services to the users. Round Table this time looks at some of these issues and suggests some leads. Anchored by Tara Sinha and Mithileshwar Jha, and with …

Road Map To Transformational Leadership, Asha Bhandarkar, Pritam Singh Mar 1999

Road Map To Transformational Leadership, Asha Bhandarkar, Pritam Singh

IIMB Management Review

The search for role models expresses not only the deep rooted desire to follow, but also the inherent desire to lead. The need for great heroes and transforming leaders like Gandhi and Mandela is felt much more strongly in the contemporary world. The model of leadership in existing literature has been used primarily to depict the process of managing rather than the process of transforming and leading. Asha Bhandarkar and Pritam Singh arrive at blueprints for leadership by studying the lives and work of transformational leaders

Developing Leadership Through Self-Empowerment, Anup K Singh Jul 1998

Developing Leadership Through Self-Empowerment, Anup K Singh

IIMB Management Review

Leadership is probably the most desirable managerial attribute but one that is seriously lacking in most organisations. While managers do a good job of maintaining and sustaining existing organisational systems, they fail to steer innovation and transformational change. Today, while the literature on the subject helps managers appreciate the dynamics of leadership, it is short on insights on how to develop oneself as an effective leader of people. Beginning with the nature of leadership and various approaches to leadership development, Anup Singh emphasises the primacy of selfempowerment and self-reprogramming in realising one's leadership potential and presents certain techniques that can …
