Change Leadership
5-21Views:27Today, researchers and practitioners also interested in the questions of successful leadership of
organizations as well as efficient and effective change management. In our paper, we combine
these two areas of research and in the form of a literature review examine what kind of leadership
style, role, behaviour is needed to successfully convert organizations through change processes.
We emphasise the behaviour aspects of change implementation. After defining the concepts that
are most relevant to our topic, we first collect models and research findings from the literature
on change management, which deal with how to lead changes, and then explore the approaches
associated with organizational changes from the leadership literature. Finally, we try to draw
conclusions that according to the research we have studied, what are the characteristics of
successful change leadership. -
Leadership challenges in virtual environment: The importance of the synergism in ICT toolset and leadership development
27-48.Views:30The companies connected to the global value chain inevitably and necessarily apply virtualized
solutions in their work organization. As such, the appropriate implementation of the shoring
strategies, the increasing competition and the supply-demand imbalance on the local market of
the high-skilled workers, all puts the existing organizational and leadership practices to the test.
The article aims to highlight the main challenges the virtual team leaders (VTL) are facing and
some best practices that might widen the toolset of the modern VTL. The results are based on a
case study of a multinational info-communication technology (ICT) service company in which
experienced managers and leaders shared their strategies. The main takeaways of the empirical
research are (i) the emphasis on the “early-adopter” behavior and the proper usage of the latest
technology in the communication, (ii) the importance of the ability of building trust and setting
common goals; (iii) despite that everyone is perfectly connected via the internet, the regular
personal presence is still the most powerful leadership tool.
