The Emergence of Leadership among the OBCs in the North Telangana- Nizamabad, Nirmal and Karimnagar Districts

ABSTRACT: The Indian Caste system is wide and varied. Hindus who form the largest majority in the country have always been mobilized on the caste basis, although the constitutional system explicitly discourages the practice of caste and creed, the political party system has been dominated by caste politics of various kinds. Caste has been able to develop a new form of political activity i.e. Caste sabha/Sangham – Caste association, which was primarily visible in the mid-nineteenth century. After independence, it became apparent that they would play a pivotal role in Indian politics. Political Leadership represents one of the most important forms of leadership. Social evolution and the sociological changes in society have brought many changes in the concept of political leadership. It is a very important concept that brings in political processes and outcomes. Political Mobilization and leadership have a crucial role to play in working towards achieving the required goals for OBCs in India. These are the two important concepts that involve coordination among individuals and organizing them to make a collective influence and bring about socio-political changes. OBC community in Telangana needs to work towards the attainment of political mobilization and in turn, develop good leadership who can take forward the community towards the attainment of set goals. The leadership needs to emerge out of the mobilization with the strong support of the common man. Telangana needs to see such a movement which can mobilise and strengthen the leadership towards the development of the OBC community.

Political Leadership: A New Conceptual Framework

Research indicates leadership is an important discipline in political studies. However, leadership has received little attention within political science scholarship. Theorists attribute this neglect to perplexities of political leadership which is often in conflict with tenets of liberal democratic ethos. As a result, the concept of political leadership and the character of the political leader remain understudied. The current study utilizes conceptual framework analysis method to identify political leadership’s central concepts and themes which form the theoretical framework. The current study was conducted by examining literature covering social, cultural, and psychological facets of political leadership. Ensuing concepts were then used to map out a conceptual framework for political leadership. The findings reveal behavior is a cause of political leadership outcomes. Additionally, the study shows personality traits, leadership style, motivation, and stress tolerance are central concepts to the behavior of the leader, and define leadership outcomes within a political setting. Finally, further studies into the interconnectivities of the central concepts will deepen the understanding of the phenomena.

Concepts of political leadership: рhilosophical-anthropological and socio-cultural measurements

The article reveals a conclusion that a significant number of approaches to understanding the phenomenon of a political leadership have been formed based on the presence of a significant number of studies on the problem of political leadership. They take into account a large number of factors that characterize the personality of a leader in the political, socio-economic, legal, religious and cultural spheres.The article analyzes the problem of political leadership in the works of such scientists as: N. Machiavelli, J. Dewey, F. Nietzsche, G. Storozheva, A. Priyatelchuk, S. Siegele, G. Lebon, G. Tard, Z. Freud, L. Edinger, Y. Jennings, S. Hook, M. Weber, T. Adorno, G. Marcuse, E. Fromm, K. Friedrich, G. Page, M. Samimi, B. Buyak, G. Grinlif, K. Hodgkinson, G. Fairholm, T., S. Kuchmarskikh, G. Hilmen, T. Fittssimen, A. Morozov, N. Gorbacheva, B. Bujak, A. Traverse, A. Pakhareva, N. Tkach and others.Despite the variety and variability of methodological approaches to understanding leadership, it is still necessary to conceptualize them.It is revealed that one of the most productive approaches to understanding the essence of political leadership is its interpretation based on value and socio-cultural orientations in the development of the individual and society, in general.It is clarified that the study of the category "personality"plays an important role within the socio-cultural approach to understanding of leadership. In addition, socio-cultural approach provides research on leadership through the prism of identifying individual, social communities and society as a whole in special forms of activity.The relevance of the socio-cultural approach is also explained by the fact that it allows the use of interdisciplinary research, opening a wide field for the possibility of developing a synthetic theory of political leadership.

Проблема созидающего организационного лидерства в современной российской политике

This article is devoted to the one of the burning problems of politology: political leadership. The urgency of the problem is due to the fact that the country’s leadership has determined (including in the President’s Address to the Federal Assembly in 2018) the strategic course of Russia’s development as a long-term prosperity of the Russian society in the face of a tougher fight in the international arena. The implementation of this course largely depends on the ruling elite. In this connection, there is a need to develop a system for “cultivating” talented political leaders. In 2017, the presidential project “Leaders of Russia” started in our country. Considering that this project is at the initial stage of implementation, and also realizing the large-scale consequences of this project for the future of Russia, there is a need for a thorough iterative conceptual study of this project. A critical analysis of existing leadership concepts has been carried out and their limitations have been revealed to understand the specifics of this type of political leadership, which is characteristic for the long stable prosperity of large organized communities of people. The necessity of developing a new concept allowing to reveal the content of a modern form of effective political leadership is grounded. On the basis of system analysis, the author’s concept of political leadership in Russia is proposed. The starting point of the study is the theoretical proposition that in each period of the development of society there is an effective type of political leadership. It can be assumed that at the present stage of the development of Russian society, this type is creative organizational leadership. At the same time, the more there are organizational creative leaders in the ruling elite, the greater the likelihood of a sustained and sustained successful development of our society. The author’s descriptive dynamic model of creative organizational political leadership is presented.

Good Governance in the Hands of the Judiciary: Lessons from the European Example

It is certainly well observed that the subject matter of good governance, by its mere terminology, constitutes a fairly recent evolution which has been, notably in the 1990’s, closely linked to the idea of giving a new impetus to development policy, in particular in Sub-Saharan Africa. The new terminology has received widespread interest which has made the political call for good governance a central feature of development policy[1] ever since it has been put on the international agenda by a World Bank study in 1989.[2] Despite a rising number of critics claiming this concept to be without any substance and asking whether it would be new after all,[3] the idea of good governance has flourished ever since and has certainly evolved into a transnational concept of political leadership, a real leitmotiv for a common approach to the way how our global village should be governed.[4] The incredible success story of the striving for good governance is, in my view, due to three cumulative aspects which certainly contributed a great deal to the general agreement that good governance is a concept without proper alternative: Firstly, the concept of good governance is self-evident. It needs nothing else but common sense[5] to be understood: Entrepreneurs will not invest in unstable countries and people, whether entrepreneurs or not, will not wish to live there, if they can afford to go elsewhere.[6] Secondly, the concept of good governance is sufficiently vague to absorb a great variety of political preferences as well as substantive differences. Its flexibility is most certainly the reason why it has met so little resistance and found so much support. And thirdly, it was issued at the right point in time when public opinion was profoundly marked by the experience of the revolutionary force of glasnost and the general inability of corrupt regimes around the world to meet today's challenges.[7]

Political Leadership in Parliament: The Role of Select Committee Chairs in the UK House of Commons

Concepts of political leadership have been applied sparingly to parliaments, and not at all to the study of House of Commons select committees in the UK Parliament, where analysis has largely focused on their institutional capacity to scrutinise government and hold it to account. Yet examining these committees through a political leadership lens illuminates the complex role of committee chairs, a role which was significantly reshaped in 2010 with a shift to election of chairs by the whole House. This article analyses select committee chairs through the lens of political leadership, and draws on a series of interviews with chairs in order to delineate the nature of the political leadership they perform. It argues that, as chairs are now increasingly important parliamentary and policy actors, our understanding of them is significantly advanced by conceptualising their role as one of parliamentary political leadership, and that this in turn enriches our analytical toolkit when it comes to the study of parliaments.

Urban Political Leadership and Political Representation

The concepts of political leadership and political representation are applied to urban politics, and based on a case study of four mayors in Denmark, four mayoral representational functions are identified: “representative,” “master of ceremonies,” “local secretary of state,” and “ombudsman.” The four functions separate the mayor from the councillors who act only as representatives. With regard to representational focus (who is represented), the case study demonstrates that mayors have a much broader focus than councillors. The different functions and focuses of mayors and councillors are combined into two ideal types of representation, “leader style” and “legislator style.”

Political Leadership: A Tentative Framework

This essay presents a tentative framework to analyze political leadership processes. First, it suggests some characteristics linked to the concept of political leadership: (1) an interactive process, (2) the emphasis on individual political behavior, (3) the collective purpose, and (4) the non-routine influence over the political process. Second, it points out several factors affecting the development of political leadership processes: (1) the leader's political competence, (2) the pattern of leader's political behavior, (3) the leader's support network, and (4) the opportunity structure. Finally, it proposes a formulation of political leadership style idea.

The Concept of Political Leadership: An Analysis

Le concept du leadership politiqueLe concept du leadership politique n'est qu'une des nombreuses catégories de leadership. Et il est particulièrement difficile à cerner. Psychologues et sociologues ont depuis longtemps étudié le phénomène du leadership mais, outre qu'ils ne sont pas parvenus à l'élucider de façon satisfaisante, leur problématique ignore des composantes majeures du leadership politique. Néanmoins, il paraît acquis que le leadership est une relation entre dirigeants et subordonnés et que c'est comme processus de groupe que cette relation se prête le mieux à l'étude. L'article examine sous cette optique le leadership politique comme phénomène interpersonnel et social et tente de montrer les conditions requises pour son exercice. Quel que soit l'angle sous lequel on la considère, la relation de leadership reproduit un processus circulaire, dirigeants et subordonnés s'influençant mutuellement dans la production des manifestations du groupe. Cette idée sen d'hypothèse centrale pour l'examen des traits caractéristiques du leadership politique à tous les niveaux : du leader, de ses lieutenants et des simples membres. Plusieurs questions apparaissent ainsi sous un nouveau jour, notamment celles de l'influence relative des traits personnels et de la situation dans la production du leader, de la nature du leadership au sein de l'organisation bureaucratique et des conditions de « dramaturgic » qui accompagnent l'exercice du leadership. La distinction entre leadership comme style de commandement et comme modèle d'organisation de l'autorité ouvre aussi sur des voies prometteuses pour la connaissance du phénomène. Cette distinction est notamment précieuse dans l'examen des conditions d'exercice du leadership, qu'il s'agisse du choix des dirigeants, du contrôle réciproque des dirigeants et des simples membres ou encore des styles de leadership, démocratique ou autoritaire. Il serait souhaitable que les études du leadership politique tiennent davantage compte des ouvrages biographiques qui nous apprennent comment les grands leaders ont perçu leurs fonctions, leurs rapports avec les hommes et la vie politique.
