Apesadumbrado no soy consciente de ninguna libros española acerca de la dirección transformacional. Usted podría buscar para las traducciones del trabajo del bajo de Bernard, o vea si hay una versión lingüística española del ” La dirección Quarterly”.

The interplay between charismatic leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership as well as other traditional leadership models is always fascinating. Are pundits trying to determine the ideal leadership model or merely playing each model off each other as a form of brinkmanship? Once more, is a person’s personality geared towards one leadership model over another? Certainly, a life-long introvert wouldn’t necessarily adopt the Charismatic Leadership Model to follow. While the Charismatic Leadership Model may have ideal traits the introvert may emulate, invariably, the core genotype for charisma may not be present. Consequently, hybrid approaches in leadership development may be necessary based on current social conditions. There has been an ongoing “Intellectual Donnybrook” where pundits square off one leadership style versus another. In the end, the winner is the style most favored personally by the pundit (based on his own temperament).

At the core, each leadership model is attempting to persuade or assuage the natural narcissism within each individual for the greater good of the organization. At the macro level, charismatic leadership may resonate with one group of individuals more viscerally than a traditional form of leadership. At the micro level, a leader may have to use various leadership styles for individuals in a smaller group as a means of group cohesion. It’s the leader who is malleable and mutable to the context of the situation as well as the personalities involved who will triumph. While there may be core traits within each leadership model, the would-be leader could and should use leadership models as mere tools for achieving an objective. To suggest a leadership model exists that is purely altruistic is naïve. Whether it’s a mission, crusade or profitability, leadership is created to feed the hungry need of the overarching objective.

Comment on Oh Brave New World – Singapore? by creativedifference

Still in Singapore, and not thinking any better of it. Just too nice for me. Today went to an area called “Little India”, which was one of the few older parts left that is not skyscrapers and malls. I liked that – a good market, street cafe with dubious food, but still quiet. In fact, everyone is quiet. Just waiting for the Soma riot to begin….

Does the hidden darkness surface some where? I’ve seen no suggestions of any racial tensions, but my friend has experienced a flasher (which several other women she knew had as well). We wondered if this was the flip side of no sex on tv….

I was in Singapore in November ‘08. I spent a day in the mall at the harbor front while my son did some business in the city. I loved hanging out eating breakfast in a nice restaurant, doing some window shopping and spending time at the Starbucks. When I retire, I wouldn’t mind doing that every day!
Thanks for your report on the trip you took. It was my second time in Singapore and loved both times.
Blessings,
Dave

Regarding hidden darkness… Singapore had nasty racial tensions in the past (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Race_Riots). (As usual we Brits were ultimately responsible!)
