Tun Mahathir Mohamad’s Leadership Communication as the Essence of Social Change: What the Malaysian Hindus’ Opinion Leaders Say?

Past transformational leadership communication literature shows that leadership communication from the contextual perspective is still limited. The scenario in Malaysia shows that Tun Mahathir Mohamad is respected for bringing social changes to the society including the Malaysian Hindus, playing the role of a transformational leader. However, some research indicates that Mahathir’s leadership communication merely focused on the majority community (Muslims) and neglected the Malaysian Hindus (minority). Therefore, this research embarks on an investigation to explore whether Mahathir’s leadership communication has brought significant social changes to Malaysian Hindus. It adopts a qualitative research design to describe the phenomenon under study using the purposive sampling method where in-depth interviews were carried out on 23 informants who are the opinion leaders for the Malaysian Hindus. Data analysis of this study is conducted using thematic analysis method and suitable themes were identified. The results of this study discovered that Mahathir Mohamad’s leadership communication skills have stimulated social changes among the Malaysian Hindus where it is evident that Mahathir was a transformational leader who has brought significant and indisputable development to the Hindus including identifying issues pertaining to the Malaysian Hindus. Nevertheless, there are weaknesses found in his leadership communication. Keywords: Transformational leadership communication, social change, opinion leader, Malaysian Hindus, minority.

The Art of Leadership – An Understanding

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to give a general overview of the term “leadership” as used and explained by different authors and how it is situated in the context of group or organizational communication. I will attempt to give various definitions of key terms and concepts used in leadership discourse. Key questions like; what is leadership? What does it mean? Who is a leader? What does a leader do? Types of leaders and types of leadership styles or approaches will be explored.
 Methodology: The paper adopted a desktop methodology research design. Key words such as leadership styles, leadership, leader, leadership approaches, and leadership communication skills were used to source published papers from popular search engines such as google and scholar. The published papers were then assessed for quality and those found relevant were used to generate results. The type of data analysis method used was qualitative data analysis. Specifically, content analysis was used to identify key themes and research gaps from papers. 
 Findings: Transformational leadership was found to be a critical fundamental tool, particularly in the concept of getting others to buy into necessary changes in the environment, such as workplaces, communities, and government institutions. Another finding is that leadership is the transformational credibility and capacity of men and women in institutions, communities, regions, nations, and international settings to influence people emotionally, intellectually, relationally, and willfully toward shared vision, purpose, mission, goals, objectives and activities. Therefore, any leader taking up this model must continue to be an inspiring presence, one who leads by example and is responsible for motivating others. It appears to be a form of leadership well-suited to these current times characterized by uncertainty, and societal instability.
 Unique contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The paper sheds light on the role that leader’s personal communication skills play in leadership. Transformational leadership is a theoretical dimension to leadership styles and types that merits consideration. Policy makers may prescribe the need for transformational leadership in the various policy documents such as the constitution sections which advocate for leadership and governance among public and private institutions. Leaders in all fora could apply transformational leadership in a bid to improve leader-follower performance outcomes.

Meneroka Pengaruh Komunikasi Kepemimpinan terhadap Kepuasan Kerja dalam kalangan Kakitangan di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Swasta Malaysia

This exploratory study investigates the influence of leadership communication on staff members’ job satisfaction at a private institution of higher learning in Malaysia, in a multicultural setting. The turnover rate among academics in Malaysia is increasing extensively and leadership communication was identified as one of the factors that contribute to poor job satisfaction at the workplace. Good leadership communication is able to create trust and understanding that would inspire people towards the goals of the organization and improve job satisfaction of an organization’s staff members. Theoretically, transformational leadership theory discusses that a leader with effective leadership communication skills could contribute to a positive working culture or environment that motivates staff members to progress in their career. However, it was found that leadership communication between leaders and subordinates was not fully explored in a multicultural perspective. A qualitative methodology was utilized in order to gain insights into the influence of leadership communication on job satisfaction from selected academics’ perspectives. Data were collected through a series of intensive interviews with 22 informants. Based on the findings, three themes emerged; leadership communication practices, the expectation towards leadership communication, and staff members’ feedback towards leadership communication. The findings of this study contribute to a new dimension of leadership communication from a multi-cultural context, specifically from the context of academicians at higher learning institutes. Furthermore, it was discovered that leadership communication affected job satisfaction among academic staffs. A good leadership communication is able to create a positive environment for effective communication among staff members in the organization. Keywords: Superior-subordinate, leadership communication, organisation, transformational leadership communication, job satisfaction.

Two Perspectives on the Communication Skills of Political Leaders

This study aimed to outline the current communication skills of political leaders. Media data, in total 5,697 items, were collected from four newspapers in Finland over a period of six months in 2008. The interview data consist of eight interviews with Finnish party leaders. All materials were analyzed by qualitative content analysis. Two kinds of perspectives are described: the media perspective by illustrating what kind of descriptions, evaluations and requirements for communication of political leaders are established in newspapers and the political leaders' perspective by reporting the experiences and evaluations of political leaders themselves. These two perspectives are compared. The findings show that communication skills are a crucial part of competence of political leaders. Three main categories of communication competencies were oral communication skills, media skills, and leadership communication skills. The press emphasized public speaking and the party leaders themselves media skills and leadership communication skills, which seemed to be different from what the leaders in general have.
