… Systems thinking: a change in one
part of a system will eventually affect
other parts

it is essential to understand how the
different parts of the organization are
interrelated
Consider the likely consequences of his
decisions
on other parts- by later events

Leadership and Management of
organisations
Organizations-- > are large systems
In organizations actions invariably
have multiple outcomes including
unintended side effects
Any example?
Incentive bonus for one dept- effects on others!
Cost cutting measures-retrenchment- adverse effect on
employee morale
Outsourcing- effects on employment,
promotion, size of workforce?

Adaptation to local circumstances-
◦ Not just in terms of what they sell but also in how
they sell it.
◦ E.g. PepsiCo’s spicy snack for Indian Market. PepsiCo, mindful that Indians may find its standard crisps
rather bland (mild), has invented a spicy snack called Kurkure
for the Indian Market.
Hermes sells French-made saris in India.
Microwave ovens destined for east India, have an
autocook option for Bengali fish curry. (The Economist,
January 5th 2013, p.48).

3.Intemperate- leader and his follower’s lack of self-control
4. Callous
5. Corrupt
6.Insular
7. Evil
Callous- unkind or uncaring attitude toward people.
Insular- such leaders disregard the welfare of their followers
Evil leaders- Gaddafi, Bashar al Asad,- atrocities and genocide as instruments

Transferability of skills across
organizations
Lower level managers cannot easily
transfer to a different functional
specialty
e.g. from sales manager to engineering
manager
Less agreement about transferability
of skills
across organizations at the executive
level

Transferability of skills
Transferability of skills for top executives- limited
Different industries have unique economic, market and
technological characteristics
Familiarity with technical matters, products, personalities and tradition ◦ a type of knowledge that is acquired only
through long experience in the Org’n. (Yukl,2010)

External environment and leadership
skills Mix of skills needed for effective leadership
may change over time
Leadership skills not identical ◦ E.g. by an entrepreneurial manager (to build a
new org’n) and the CEO of an established large firm- not identical
Leadership skills also vary to match environment stable supportive environment vs. a turbulent
environment.
Example ◦ Garments industry leadership v air conditioner
industry leadership
◦ What about DSE leadership?
