With the successful conclusion of the #B329LeadershipChallenge 🥳, it's onwards and upwards 📤 for all you #OUB329 ers as you move towards the EMA. Watch out for some tips‼️
Parés et al. suggest reframing a discourse utilises peoples imagination to consider what could be rather than just what is. Reflecting, challenging assumptions requires democratic engagement to ensure numerous perspectives help shape the future. #OUB329 wk17
Week 17 highlighted a five step process and the importance of storytelling in leadership. Jose's story provided an insightful perspective of migrant's struggles. It also shows the human side to migration and asylum rather than just newspaper numbers and a lack of empathy. #OUB329
In week 16 we read and heard from precarious worker strikers on the front line. We learned how signifiers connected those who felt oppressed and created a purpose for Activist leadership even if this purpose could be interpreted in many different forms. #OUB329 wk16
Connolly (2002) - "no one is ever blessed with perfect knowledge and values with which to lead us all". Reflecting, all human beings are fallible but democratic leadership enables a pluralising approach to gain a world-view and address societal problems. #OUB329 wk16
Collinson and Ackroyd’s (2005) continuum of overt–covert resistance reminds me of loud-quiet, extroverted-introverted and powerful-cunning scenarios. #OUB329 wk15
Evaluating Fleming and Spicer’s (2007) power and resistance framework, do people/organisations/etc have a preference for a particular face of resistance or power? How do the internal and external environment affect it? All food for thought. #OUB329 wk15
Grint’s (2008) Tame, Wicked and Critical challenges need to be Identified, Prioritised and Categorised yet leaders must contemplate the crossover of challenges, the underlying drivers and whether place-based leadership tackles the issue at the right level. #OUB329 wk14
@B329Leadership managed conflict and constructive dissent (Grint, 2005) are crucial in ensuring an organisation continuously learns and improves. Reflecting, hearing others truths can be painful but enlightening #OUB329 wk11
@B329Leadership similarly in my experience followers of positional leadership aren’t just passive recipients but active shapers of our organisation with certain pronouncements hotly contested and resisted against.(2/2) #OUB329 wk10
@B329Leadership my workplace is becoming an increasingly networked society where work can be sped up or slowed down depending on personal relationships between departments and their influence on organisational politics. (1/2) #OUB329 wk10
@B329Leadership in wk9 I learned that I’m not naturally collaborative and scored ‘loner’ status from Dr Laura Hills 2012 questionnaire. However developing my self-awareness of personal weaknesses can lead to personal growth! #OUB329 wk9
@B329 boundaryless leadership requires challenging your pre-existing stereotypes and beliefs and adapting to the context to become a better leader #OUB329 wk8
