#OUB329 Wk17 #socialchangeorganisations play an important role in society as they cater for the needs of disadvantaged individuals and/or those living in precarity. Critical challenges need everyone to get more involved to foster rapid and positive social impact. @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk16 I have come to appreciate that #activistleadership plays an important role in leadership and its practice can bring positive changes by way of challenging leadership practices of win-lose scenarios such as those involving precarious jobs. @B329Leadership

#OUB329 Wk15 "Power always brings resistance." This is important because power should not be dictated or imposed by one person i.e., leaders who may not act in the best interest of their followers. Power brings resistance which can in turn bring positive change @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk14 some relevant learnings about the 3 steps (#identify, #prioritise and #categorise) to manage leadership issues. Interesting was also the categorisation of leadership challenges as either tame, wicked or critical according to Grint’s viewpoint. @B329Leadership

#OUB329 Wk12 I've learned that leadership for win-win outcomes can be difficult to achieve, nonetheless one can hardly argue against this positive “game theory” in collaborative work, so the aim should be to foster & press on #positivesumleadership @carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

#OUB329 Wk11as someone who tries avoid conflicts,I can now appreciate the benefits of properly expressing #constructivedissent.I'm not so convinced though that failure to practise constructive dissent(Grint,2005) can lead to irresponsible followers.@carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

#OUB329 Wk10 I enjoyed the aspects the #Relationalleadershipstrategies, particularly in terms of making time for building long and lasting relationships rather than ineffective one time only interaction with potential contacts or collaborators. @carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk9 #collaborativeleadership is so important for achieving best results. Avoiding “silo mentality” (Goman 2011) can only contribute to better outcomes, in fact it's quite difficult to imagine success with such a way of thinking or behaving. @carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk8 I’ve learnt the importance of embracing diversity in the workforce i.e. #inclusiveness or #inclusion and that appreciating cultural differences can only help organisations stay on top of their games and achieve competitive advantage. @carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk7 I never gave much thought about the benefits of having #multiple identities. Maybe we automatically or subconsciously adjust our behaviour to different situations but after this week’s readings I can surely apply this more tactfully. @carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk5 Understanding and speaking to different audiences, e.g. via blogs, is key to #leadership. Only issue is when leaders, who although are fully aware of their diverse audiences choose to woo and address only audiences they can benefit from.@carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk4As globalisation brings us all together there is no question that developing a global mindset in terms of cultures&leadership practice is needed or even a must-have skill for leaders. Difficult to imagine a multicultural org. without GLM.@carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk3Risks of charismatic leadership are serious. Some leaders often downplay “ordinary” people who are happy to ignore the true!That populism needs extraordinary people to lead ordinary ones (Taggart) is dismal with leaders seeking own gains.@carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk2.Eye-opening. Incredible to think that precarious living & work are all around us yet so easy to turn a blind eye to them. Worrying is that precarity is a by-product of policy choices meant to safeguard societies rather than destroy them.@carolemyersmcr @B329Leadership

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk1.The value of #networking and relationship building (Edwards et al) and the idea of direction and followership related to leadership are tools which I will definitely embrace to boost my career progression as one cannot get there alone @carolemyersmcr, @B329Leadership.

[Edson Morais @EFDM81]

#OUB329 Wk1. Some great contents covered in week 1. Particularly important to me was the application and use of critical thinking to better judge situations and understand the implications linked to disruptive technologies @carolemyersmcr, @B329Leadership.
