#OUB329WK18 To #MobiliseFollowers you may need to persuade them to engage. Written communications can be effective if they are prepared, drafted and edited well. Backing up statements with research adds value as does writing with clarity and energy @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

#OUB329WK17 #SocialChangeLeadership transforms society and systemic issues. Reframing discourse shapes perspectives and storytelling is a powerful tool to frame messages and mobilise followers. Stories generates aesthetic responses building empathy @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

@Jes_Ire A very powerful video and excellent submission. I feel that diversity quotas contribute to this problem. Do you think this is a contributing factor?

#OUB329WK16 The purpose of #ActivistLeadership can provide leadership. Activist can have competing interests or pluralist purposes. NHS strikers could be advocating for better working conditions, wider systemic changes or potentially both or neither @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK14 Leaders can face tame, critical and #WickedChallanges. The latter has complex interrelated contributing factors where cause and effect are not obvious. Distributing authority helps address these challenges @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

#OUB329WK12 Achieving #positivesum outcomes is complex and challenging for leaders. Collaboration can create both positive and negative outcomes for involved parties due to competing interests. Developing a shared #vision helps drive good performance @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK15 #ResistanceLeadership taught me not all resistance is negative. It can generate positive outcomes. Leaders should expect resistance and reflect on driving forces. This reflection helps identify limitations of their chosen leadership style @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK11 In complex turbulent business environment where there are competing stakeholder interests it is impossible to avoid #conflict. Leaders must adopt and deploy different leadership practices and strategies to help reach constructive outcomes @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK11 In some scenarios leaders should provoke conflict. It can help surface conflicting views which allows leaders to assess differing positions. #ConstructiveDissent can aid decision making and produce positive outcomes @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK10 To create a #RelationalLeadership practices that mobilises team members we should implement #RelationalStrategies. By building enduing deep networks and helping others achieve what matters to them you can build trust and influence. @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK10 #RelationalLeadership draws us away from the idea that leadership is achieved through the practices and skills of individuals. It suggests #leadership takes place through social interactions between both those with and without authority @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK9 To aid the delivery of effective results when working across organisational boundaries we can engage in #CollaborativeLeadership. Identifying shared interest and targeting win-win outcomes are methods of generating support and enthusiasm @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK9 Leaders can support #collaboration by facilitating activities promoting the spirit of collaboration such as empowering members and enabling participation. Or by engaging in #CollaborativeThuggery and build participation thorough politics @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

#OUB329WK8 Modifying your leadership style to the situation helps you to meet diverse business challenges. Consider the task, ability and needs of staff. This #SituationalLeadership enables you to direct, coach, support, and delegate effectively @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK8 To meet the complex needs of modern turbulent business environments leaders must include #inclusiveness in their leadership practices. Valuing and utilising #diversity and challenging norms helps achieve a unique competitive advantage @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK7 Leaders need to be able to adapt and bring forward the right #LeadershipIdentity to resolve complex and diverse problem. Utilising different leadership styles and leadership skills is a key skill of effective leadership @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK5 Engaging with those with different leadership experiences and perspectives helps develop our own #LeadershipPractice. Speaking with those in precarious positions adds valuable insights into this under-researched area of leadership @JeanGamester @B329Leadership

[Chaz Fitzsimmons @ChazFitzsi50981]

#OUB329WK5 #Blogs are an effective way for leaders to garner support for controversial topics. Stories with images appeal to the senses and generate emotional response. Appropriate presentation and structure help grab and keep the followers attention @JeanGamester @B329Leadership
