400 Million tonnes of marine life including dolphins, turtles and valuable commercial fish discarded over the las 65 years thanks to bottom trawling. End the waste #STOPBOTTOMTRAWLING #b329leadershipchallenge #oub329 @NickWOpenUni @B329Leadership #teamb

#B329LeadershipChallenge: Bottom trawling is a destructive fishing method where nets are dragged along the ocean floor. This destroys habitats and is causing near extinction for some sea life. We must do better do better to protect our oceans. #STOPBOTTOMTRAWLING! @NickWOpenUni

[Ellie @Ellie_OpenUni]

Some experts have deduced that bottom trawling emits the same CO2 emissions as the entire aviation industry. Join our call to action to #STOPBOTTOMTRAWLING #OUB329 #B329leadershipchallenge

DID YOU KNOW? Each year, hundreds of small-scale fishers are killed due to collisions with bottom trawling rigs operated by massive corporations in West Africa alone #STOPBOTTOMTRAWLING #OUB329 #b329leadershipchallenge @NickWOpenUni

One powerful technique used by leaders to frame this message is #storytelling. By engaging followers’ emotions this will help build empathy and mobilise people to the cause.

#OUB329 Wk17 #socialchange businesses can address societal challenges at any scale. They try to drive change by influencing those with authority for regulating or relevant stakeholders. @NickWOpenUni

@NickWOpenUni Union strikes have been rife, such as from trainline employees, demanding better working conditions and fair wages with overt resistance by using their voices and refusing to work. These are individuals who would normally be seen to have limited power over their leaders.

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk15 followers are rarely seen to have power over leaders, however with #resistance leadership it is clear that power relationships are two-way. Followers can respond to actions of leaders with overt resistance, misbehaviour, or covert resistance. @NickWOpenUni

#agonistic conflict challenges people to reflect on why they identify with issues and this helps them grow, whereas #antagonistic conflict is unconstructive and should be avoided.

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk16 #activistleadership emerges from coalitions of diverse people and depend upon conflict which can lead to major social or political change. @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

The approach may not be as effective in other areas as the drivers that cause the challenge can change between locations. This will be something to keep in mind when deciding on the #leadershipchallenge

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk14 when addressing a #leadershipchallenge we need to consider the approach. This may be place-based leadership which focuses on a community or geographical area to address the challenge. @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

It can be difficult for leaders to achieve positive-sum outcomes due to a focus on their individual aims instead of a shared goal. Developing a #visionofsuccess can channel efforts in a shared desired direction to produce preferred outcomes. @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk12 #collaboration can have different outcomes for those involved, those that are good for all, few, or none, known as positive, negative and zero-sum outcomes.

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#constructivedissent is a useful leadership practise that allows people to express their disagreement in a constructive way. To attempt to bring positive outcomes out of conflict those involved need to listen, speak up and attempt to understand all perspectives @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk11 #conflict is naturally occurring in many different situations. It is important for leaders and followers to address conflicting views otherwise this can lead to a build up of resentment and anger causing greater issues in the future.

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk10 Leadership is not simply about the leader, but also about their #followers. By creating relationships between leaders and their followers this can change the way decisions are influenced. @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#collaborativeleaders can achieve this by supporting the collaborative process, identifying problems and deciding on the best way to act as a group, and allowing goals to emerge as the result of collaboration. @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk9 #collaboration is important in business to ensure teams are working effectively together toward a common vision.

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

For this to happen, leaders need to be #boundryless by learning to adapt their leadership styles to different scenarios and cultures, and bringing together diverse groups of people. @NickWOpenUni

[Kenny @Kenny_Harv]

#OUB329 Wk8 #diversity and #inclusiveness. Businesses are ever expanding into more diverse settings with vastly different cultures, and to function effectively it is important that we are inclusive to the range of behaviours, beliefs, and skills available.
