Leadership and managing conflict in meetings
There is extensive literature describing the characteristics of a good leader in the area of organisational communication and business management. However, the research tends to be based on secondary, survey or reported data, typically interviews and questionnaires. Moreover, the predominant image of a “good” leader tends to be a charismatic, inspirational, decisive, authoritative, ‘hero’. The Language in the Workplace database provides a large corpus of authentic spoken interaction which allows examination of how effective leaders behave in a wide range of face-to-face interactions at work, and identifies a diverse range of leadership styles. The analysis reveals that effective leaders select from a range of strategies available to challenge, contest or disagree with others, paying careful attention to complex contextual factors, including the type of interaction, the kind of community of practice or workplace culture in which they are operating, and the relative seriousness of the issue involved. The analysis identifies four distinct strategies which leaders use to deal with potential conflict. These strategies lie along a continuum from least to most confrontational: Conflict avoidance; diversion; resolution through negotiation; and resolution by authority. The findings suggest that good leaders “manage” conflict: i.e. they choose strategies which address both their transactional and relational goals in order to achieve a desirable outcome.

The current study aims to define a good leader in general, not for any specific companies, schools, offices, or organizations. The author has read and consulted various documents, significantly articles published in reputable outlets, to boost related ideas vis-à-vis good leaders from different walks of life. After reading, reviewing, and taking notes, the author focused on different leadership types and the characteristics of good leaders. As a result, a good leader is defined, and suggestions are provided to consider for those who want to become good leaders using just easy ways and simple techniques. In the 21st century, a good leader is someone well-educated and always looks at the past, uses the past as experience, leads what is in the present, and predicts the future so that he can get everything ready and he could solve unforeseen problems. Finally, a comprehensive assessment or investigation could still be made into what makes a sound or effective leader in the 21st century. It is also important to analyze or conduct a comparison of an efficient manager and a good leader. Generally, it is essential to consider how to successfully lead an organization by combining the qualities of a skilled manager and an effective leader.

Management skills are necessary to successfully lead a surgical department in future. This article focuses on practical aspects of surgical management, leadership and training. It demonstrates how the implementation of business management concepts changes workflow management and surgical training. A systematic Medline search was performed and business management publications were analysed. Neither management nor leadership skills are inborn but acquired. Management is about planning, controlling and putting appropriate structures in place. Leadership is anticipating and coping with change and people, and adopting a visionary stance. More change requires more leadership. Changes in surgery occur with unprecedented speed because of a growing demand for surgical procedures with limited financial resources. Modern leadership and management theories have to be tailored to surgery. It is clear that not all of them are applicable but some of them are essential for surgeons. In business management, common traits of successful leaders include team orientation and communication skills. As the most important character, however, appears to be the emotional intelligence. Novel training concepts for surgeons include on-the-job training and introduction of improved workflow management systems, e.g. the central case management. The need for surgeons with advanced skills in business, finance and organisational management is evident and will require systematic and tailored training.

Reviewing the literature about interactive leadership and its effects on human resource management in business organizations, this paper proposes that interactive leadership has two major components: interaction skills and team building. Both components have positive effects on employees' trust in their leaders, on employees' motivation and employees' commitment to their companies. Based on these hypotheses, the paper develops an empirical test of the effectiveness of interactive leadership in Singapore's banking industry. Seventy-seven middle-level managers participated in this study by responding to a questionnaire about their leaders, their motivation, their commitment and their trust in these leaders. The results support the hypotheses and suggest some important implications for human resource management in business organizations, especially for human resource management in Oriental societies.

Ongoing transition of most of business enterprises to knowledge-based ones is a watershed event in the evolution of the global knowledge economies. This transition marks a paradigmatic shift from energy- based economies with traditional factors of production to information-based economies based upon knowledge assets. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to develop a theoretical and pragmatic architecture of knowledge management system based on Knowledge Grid for better implementing knowledge management (KM) in business organizations to facilitate their vision of sustainable growth and development. This paper objectively analyzes the environmental problems that most of those enterprises, especially those knowledge-based ones have to face up in such a distributed, increasingly changing environment. Also the critical situations of knowledge management in those business organizations are outlined. Then a new theory about knowledge management, namely, knowledge systems engineering in introduced, which paves the way for better understanding knowledge management and lays the groundwork for constructing a more valid architecture of knowledge management system. And a new architecture of knowledge management system based on knowledge grid is proposed to solve those problems mentioned above, which may provide not only a friendly user interface for end-users to easily access and manage many kinds of Web resources but also a platform for those business organizations to successfully implementing knowledge management.

This present paper discusses the importance of leadership in educational management with specific reference to schools. Educational leadership has a critical role in the transformation of society, and for change to happen, effective leaders are key. Along with the widespread belief that the quality of leadership makes a significant difference to school and student outcomes. There is also increasing recognition that if effective school leaders and managers are developed they are most likely going to provide the best possible education for their learners. Effective leadership and management are essential if schools and colleges are to achieve the wide-ranging objectives set for them by their many stakeholders, notably the government which provide most of the funding for public educational institutions. Teachers and their leaders and managers are the people who are required to deliver higher educational standards. Management and leadership are important for the delivery of good educational services. Although the two are similar in some respects, they may involve different types of outlook, skills and behaviours. Good managers should strive to be good leaders and good leaders need management skills to be effective. Leaders will have a vision of what can be achieved and then communicate this to others and evolve strategies for realising the vision. They motivate people and are able to negotiate for resources and other support to achieve their goals. Managers ensure that the available resources are well organised and applied to produce the best results. In the resource constrained and difficult environments of many developing countries, a manager must also be a leader to achieve optimum results.

PurposeThis paper explored the workplace culture in small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in the Leeds City Region. The paper looked at perceived leadership expectations vs self-assessment of leadership characteristics and mindsets, as well as workplace culture respective to hierarchy and organisational supportiveness of SMEs as workplaces.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods approach was deployed, consisting of a survey with SMEs and 14 interviews with women working in SMEs. Since the survey yielded a low response, results were analysed summatively, and a cross-tabulation was used to provide insight into data and inform future research. Survey questions were then used to inform the interview questionnaire to explore findings in depth. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the interview data. The research was informed by studies conducted on women in mass communication industries, Bourdieu’s habitus theory and industry research on alpha organisational cultures.FindingsFindings revealed that self-assessments of leadership characteristics and mindsets lean towards those typically perceived as feminine, whereas assessments of which characteristics are needed to become a leader lean towards those typically perceived as masculine. However, at the same time, the workplace culture was assessed positively, and women reported a lack of hierarchy and a positive and friendly atmosphere in SME workplaces.Practical implicationsWomen reported more positive perceptions of the workplace culture than those found in other studies conducted generally or on larger corporations, thus opening questions about whether things are different in SMEs and better for women. Issues with leadership characteristics and mindsets are present in SMEs, but they do not seem to affect women’s career progression or satisfaction with employment. Organisations that are not SMEs should consider these findings to develop more inclusive policies to foster a positive perception of their workplace culture.Originality/valueThe authors analysed the workplace culture in SMEs using Bourdieu’s habitus, previous research in mass communication industries and industry research on alpha culture and applied it to study the workplace culture and leadership in the context of SMEs, thus extending research in sociology and communication to study SMEs. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first paper to do so.
