One Woman, One Nation: The Heroic Story of Dr. Stella Adadevoh.

In 2014, Nigeria faced a near-existential threat when Ebola was introduced to Lagos, a city of over 20 million people. Dr. Stella Ameyo Adadevoh (1956-2014), a physician at First Consultant Hospital, played a pivotal role in preventing the spread of the virus by making the crucial decision to quarantine the index case, Patrick Sawyer, despite intense governmental pressure to release him. This review explores Dr. Adadevoh's life, her heroic actions during the Ebola crisis, and the lasting impact of her work on Nigeria's public health system. It also highlights the ethical and professional challenges she faced, including balancing patient autonomy with the need for public safety. Through her brave decision-making, Dr. Adadevoh sacrificed herself to save countless lives and ensured Nigeria's swift containment of the deadly virus, leaving behind an inspirational legacy of medical ethics, leadership, and courage that continues to influence public health policy today. This paper highlights the lessons learned from her actions, emphasizing the critical role of decisive leadership in managing infectious disease outbreaks and the profound selflessness and courage she demonstrated.

From Losers to Winners: Overcoming Negative Leader Legacy in Radical Organisational Change

This study examines how a new leader reshapes the negative legacy of a previous leader to influence employee identification during radical organisational change. Drawing on a longitudinal study in one of the world’s oldest airlines, we analyse the organisational discourse surrounding a radical transformation spanning the tenures of two successive Chief Executive Officers (from now on CEO). Our findings show how the first CEO’s coercive discourse of “responsibilisation” led to resistance and conflict, ultimately leading to his departure. Subsequently, the second CEO reframed the negative discursive legacy of the previous CEO into an aspirational identity for the organisation. Our findings elaborate on the conditions these discourses provided for employee identification. We discuss the implications of our study for the literature on leadership legacies and provide new insights into leaders’ restorative use of discourse in the context of organisational change.

An Argumentative Discourse Analysis of the Newspaper Editorial “The 9/30 Tragedy”

Academic studies on newspaper discourse have focused primarily on the structure of news items. Research on an argumentative discourse of newspaper editorials is understudied. By using the sociocognitive theory of knowledge and opinion as the theoretical basis, this article aims to analyze the argumentative discourse constructed in “The 9/30 Tragedy” editorial published in The Jakarta Post and to discuss whether the arguments in the text constitute knowledge or solely opinions of the editorial team on the defunct Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). The eclectic research method used the pragma-dialectical model of argumentation supported by intertextuality and vocabulary analysis. The findings reveal that the editorial has a standpoint that the tragedy of September 30, 1965, has led the course of Indonesia’s history for the worst tragedy and that the argumentation is manifested in three stages: confrontational stage, argumentation stage, and concluding stage. Acting as the protagonist, the editorial team maneuvers strategically by quoting other voices and using an evaluative lexical repertoire to support their arguments criticizing Soeharto’s leadership legacy. Overall, the editorial seems to reconstruct mental models for the readers by questioning the reliability of the military-dictated textbooks about the 9/30 Tragedy, thereby reshaping the historical knowledge about the calamity, which is justifiable.

Family Business Succession Plan for Bumiputera-Owned Small and Medium Enterprises: A Review

Transgenerational entrepreneurship is defined as the creative and initiative-taking creation of self-sufficiency in a family-owned business that lasts generations. The process of passing on management and ownership of a family business to the next generation through inheritance is known as family business succession. A succession plan is crucial for ensuring the company's transition and continuity. The process of selecting a replacement in a small and medium enterprise (SME) is more difficult because the number of successor candidates is smaller than in a corporate firm. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the challenges and factors that incumbents must consider when selecting a successor and implementing a succession plan. The study's findings indicate that internal conflicts between the leader's business and family, the leader's obsession with his leadership legacy, and the successor's level of willingness to accept responsibility are the main obstacles to implementing a succession plan. The succession planning process considers a variety of factors, including education, competencies, demographic factors, relationships with family members and incumbents, experience, integrity, birth order, and primogeniture.

Tracing the legacy of peace leadership from an Asian perspective: Mahatma Gandhi, Dalai Lama, and Thich Nhat Hanh

ABSTRACT This paper narrates the concept of Sustainable Peace Leadership and examines how three prominent Peace Activists from South and Southeast Asia measure up to the concept. The article will consider the works and ideas of Mohandas K. Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi), Lhamo Thondup (The 14th Dalai Lama), and Nguyen Xuan Bao (Thich Nhat Hanh). Mahatma Gandhi was instrumental in achieving Indian independence from the British Empire. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people and has managed a difficult relationship with the Chinese government following the occupation of Tibet. Thich Nhat Hanh was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, peace activist and is known as the ‘father of mindfulness’. The paper identified several characteristics of Peace Leaders. These include being a charismatic leader who motivates their followers to achieve their goals in a non-violent and inclusive manner. Peace leaders meditate and spend time developing inner peace which then leads to outer peace. The paper also asserts that peace leaders are capable of recognizing the humanity in their opponents and seek a mutually beneficial solution. The three chosen individuals are all recognised as being charismatic leaders who were prominent peace leaders. All were deeply spiritual and practiced meditation and other inner work on a regular basis. They stressed the humanity in their opponents, based on their religious beliefs and the concepts of non-duality and interdependence.

The Legacy of Leadership According to Imam Ali's Letter 53: A Comparative Perspective with the New Management

This comparative study examines the qualities of leadership from two distinct perspectives: Imam Ali's renowned Letter 53 and New Management. The goal of the study is to compare and contrast the two techniques, notwithstanding the distinct historical and cultural settings in which each methodology originated. Also, this essay describes the core values of the new management, which include maximizing efficiency, customer satisfaction, innovation, quality assurance, productivity growth, and employee empowerment. In the same spirit, Imam Ali's leadership principles—including delegation, active listening, informed decision-making, tolerance, empathy, and respect—are presented. After a comparison of the similarities and differences between the two methodologies, we study these traits in-depth and talk about their individual benefits and drawbacks in connection to the various scenarios. Also, we point out the parallels and discrepancies between these two leadership philosophies, notably in terms of delegating, judgment, and empathy. We finish this comparison research by reflecting on the article's application in the real world and discussing how managers and leaders may use both approaches to create their own leadership styles. We also discuss future directions for leadership research by taking Imam Ali's teachings into account. In light of this comparison, our study offers an in-depth analysis of two leadership methods and their points of convergence and divergence, with the aim of enriching contemporary leadership thinking and highlighting the legacy of Imam Ali.

Kebijakan Ekonomi Luar Negeri China dari Masa ke Masa dan Ambisi Internasionalisasi BUMN China di Tangan Xi Jinping

Contemporary China's economic growth has shown a prestigious, spectacular, and increasingly strategic position. This is due to the success of the Beijing’s administration in launching reforms program and open-door policy of the foreign economy in 1978. Based on this research, China's global initiation actually started with the vision and legacy of Deng Xiaoping's leadership, namely the policy of good neighbor relations which was in turn transformed by Xi Jinping through an assertive and ambitious style. This can be seen from the emergence of Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This research shows that there are three factors underlying Xi Jinping's choice to formulate BRI as the foreign economic policy agenda. First, BRI is a reform in aligning cooperation and economic integration. Second, the emergence of BRI here is Xi Jinping's rationalization to avoid the risk of excess production capacity after the 2008 global financial crisis, so that BRI is used as a medium for relocating the excess capacity. Third, the emergence of BRI as a foreign economy policy is actually a continuation of the SOEs reform itself. That is, China's SOEs internationalization program must get a special arena through the full intervention of Xi Jinping.

Life is an Adventure: From Action Theory to Action

Myles Brand was the fourth President of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). This essay tracks the progression of Brand's early work in action theory, his theoretical turn to the moral role of education, and finally his legacy of principled leadership on issues of ethics and social justice within intercollegiate athletics during what I refer to as "The Brand Era." I show that Brand's writings and speeches from 1970 through 2002 offer a foundation for the conceptual strategies employed in meeting NCAA challenges from 2003 through 2009. His innovative conceptualization of the applied philosophy of sport moved him forward from action theory into action.

George Kaufman: Both Hands In; Scholar’s Work with Academia and Financial Industry Benefitted Both

This paper examines the career of economist Prof. George Kaufman, whose work combined and benefited both academia and the financial industry, helping both better understand the problems of financial stability, financial regulation, and financial sector competition. In doing so, he brought together great minds from both fields and helped many economists progress in their careers. Prof. Kaufman promulgated the idea that government policy needed to foster two simple goals: proper incentives and competitive markets. He believed the combination would produce a richer society and more stable economy. He created the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Conference on Bank Structure and Competition, the leading conference in the world addressing financial regulatory issues for 50 years. Prof. Kaufman also founded the U.S. Shadow Financial Regulatory Committee in 1986 in the midst of the thrift crisis, helping to solve that crisis and inspiring the creation of other shadow financial regulatory committees around the world. Through his activities, he left behind an outstanding legacy of leadership, research, and opinion in various economic fields, providing platforms upon which many scholars will build in the coming decades.

Ancestral leadership: Place-based intergenerational leadership

This article introduces the notion of ancestral leadership that emerges from intergenerational wisdom at the intersection of people, place and ancestral knowledge. Place is a key component of collective continuity in ancestral leadership that reinforces identity, belonging and intergenerational reciprocity. The findings show that places carry leadership legacies and require ongoing maintenance to ensure genealogies of leadership are available to future generations. Engagement with ancestral leadership and its practical application is not bound to tribal and cultural contexts. By knowing the place of someone’s ancestors as a lens into their leadership, one sees structures of accountability that extends beyond culturally bound contexts, and includes their leadership expressed in professional environments. The authors contribute to leadership theory by illuminating how ancestral legacies of leadership continue to inform contemporary generations of leadership and is transmitted intergenerationally within frameworks of genealogy.

Post-election violence in Kenya: leadership legacies, demography and motivations

ABSTRACT To understand the political geography of Kenya’s 2007–08 post-election violence (PEV), locational (territorial) and relational (ethnic community) theories of how context affects politics are combined. This hybrid conceptualization provides a nuanced illustration of how subnational violence patterns are shaped by Kenyans’ ethnic community-level experiences and by regional demography. Communities whose leaders have held presidential office in the past (prior-incumbents) have skill using government institutions to distribute material benefits to supporters, which increases their motivations for political activity, including violence. Where the size of the two prior-incumbent communities – Kikuyu and Kalenjin – are large, the severity of PEV is elevated. The presence of a community without these experiences controlling the presidency acts as a buffer, reducing the severity of conflict. Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzioa counties are used as illustrative cases highlighting the relationship between locational–relational contexts and PEV. While both counties endured substantial electoral conflict, Trans Nzoia’s comparatively diverse ethnic geography diluted the incentives for deadly PEV. Understanding these multidimensional contextual influences for violence improves the understanding of conflict geography.
