Need to Lead
Author: Christopher Higgins
Publisher: CCBS Press
ISBN: 9079646547
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
‘Need to Lead’ provides an invaluable reference point for senior executives or those striving towards a successful cross-border career, to understand how cultural differences impact upon leadership styles and practices. Each semester, we publish a report on our quantitative survey-based global study, alongside our review of extant in-country leadership literature, preferably written by local scholars and professionals in their native language. Moreover, we attempt to empirically validate these findings by conducting expert interviews with native specialists. This new issue of our ongoing leadership series presents country-specific analyses of culturally endorsed leadership practices and styles in the following countries or regions: Basque country, Cameroon, China PRC, Colombia, Croatia, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Panamá, Perú, Poland, Romania, Thailand and Uzbekistan. This publication contains contributions from around 124 researchers from 24 countries who participated in the Cross-Cultural Business Skills elective offered by the Part-time Academy of the Faculty of Business and Economics at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA). The following authors contributed: Aaron William, Aart Reijn, Adil Fkyerat, Ahmed Machto, Alex Basmaci, Ali Atilgan, Amber Hazebroek, Anastasija Spirovska (Анастасија Спировска), Ander Roteta Unceta-Barrenechea, Andrea Nicole Chumpitazi Vidal, Angel van Blaaderen, Annelot van Dommele, Antonina Tsanevska (Антонина Цаневска), Astrid Bons, Bart Koper, Bary Yvo, Bastiaan Rethmeier, Berber Kok, Bob Groot, Brandy Masamba, Buraçcan Cellatoğlu, Chacaya Zwaaneveld, Chanel Pinas, Chanel Bosch, Ciovanni van de Groep, Daantje Meurs, Dani Brink, Daniel Lopes Figueiredo, Daniël Emanuels, Daniëlle Verlaan, Darryl Oppong-Kyeremeh, Devon Posthouwer, Di-annah Seck, Dimas Sarkam, Eleonora Kyoseva (Елеонора Кьосева), Eliass Battoui, Enrique Beukers, Erva Semen, Esmee Wong, Floor van Empelen, Giorgio Sancipriani, Glenn Zonderop, Guido Struijvé, Hedda Smith, Ikram Ammy Driss, Iliaas Abdoelrahman, Isa van Delft, Ivo Botterweck, Iwan de la Fosse, Jairo Diaz Ballesteros, Jasmijn Roeper, Jason Achthoven, Jeroen Godee, Jessy Mitrasing, Joep van den Heuvel, Jon Villafranca Alonso, Joppe Gales, Josipa Cirkveni, Justin Imansoeradi, Kamila Izinicka, Klaudia Rubacha, Laura Marell, Liam Riethorst, Margriet Botman, Marie-Hélène Geisler, Marilène Hoekstra, Marisa Alberda, Marleen van der Lingen, Márton Belovai, Mehdi El Farhouni, Mert Can, Moaz Elrokh, Mustafa Bakhsh, Nam Doan, , Nguyễn Hoàng Hiếu, Nguyễn Thế Hoàng, Nikayla Koeiman, Noah Hofmeester, Nora Ruijpers, Owen Slaghuis, Parteek Chhibber, Raffaele Tartaglione, Ramazan Erçelik, Raquel Gomez Nunez, Rayen Jaggoe, Rida El Haddouti, Romée Caprino, Roos de Boer, Ryan Timmers, Sara Huegun Iturrioz, Saruta Wantum, Seline Leenders, Shahed Sagheer, Shaniss Nyamoto, Sheher Anwar, Sheryl Sodijana, Shiella Valmeo, Sophie Noorman, Stijn van Beugen, Tamara Ruiz del Arbol, Teun Meijer, Teun Kloosterboer, Thijn van Well, Thijs van Muiswinkel, Thimo Hoorn, Tjebbiene Botter, Tom Bernard, Tuleen Al Samkari, Umar Quta, Wanda Needham, Wessam Dowaah, Yoon Fong Chong, Zakaria Jbari, Zev van der Geest and Zhaohan Zhang (张兆涵).

The People Have Spoken: The 2014 Elections in Fiji
Author: Steven Ratuva
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The September 2014 elections in Fiji was one of the most anticipated in the history of the country, coming after eight years of military rule and under a radically new constitution that introduced a system of proportional representative (PR) and without any reserved communal seats. The election was won overwhelmingly by FijiFirst, a party formed by 2006 coup leader Frank Bainimarama. He subsequently embarked on a process of shifting the political configuration of Fijian politics from inter-ethnic to trans-ethnic mobilisation. The shift has not been easy in terms of changing people's perceptions and may face some challenges in the longer term, despite Bainimarama's clear victory in the polls. Ethnic consciousness has the capacity to become re-articulated in different forms and to seek new opportunities for expression. This book explores these and other issues surrounding the 2014 Fiji elections in a collection of articles written from varied political, intellectual and ideological positions.

The New Pacific Diplomacy
Author: Greg Fry
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 192502282X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Since 2009 there has been a fundamental shift in the way that the Pacific Island states engage with regional and world politics. The region has experienced, what Kiribati President Anote Tong has aptly called, a ‘paradigm shift’ in ideas about how Pacific diplomacy should be organised, and on what principles it should operate. Many leaders have called for a heightened Pacific voice in global affairs and a new commitment to establishing Pacific Island control of this diplomatic process. This change in thinking has been expressed in the establishment of new channels and arenas for Pacific diplomacy at the regional and global levels and new ways of connecting the two levels through active use of intermediate diplomatic associations. The New Pacific Diplomacy brings together a range of analyses and perspectives on these dramatic new developments in Pacific diplomacy at sub-regional, regional and global levels, and in the key sectors of global negotiation for Pacific states – fisheries, climate change, decolonisation, and trade.

Developing School Leaders in the Pacific
Author: Narsamma Lingam
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9819949890
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book provides detailed insights on the training and development for Pacific Island school leaders. It draws extensively on original empirical research that explores school leaders’ perceptions of how leadership and management training impacted their professional practices, and how these practices in turn impacted the dynamics of school operations. This book addresses a critical need to understand how to support leadership development for all Pacific schools, but especially in schools that are faced with the increasing challenges of learning and teaching conditions. In small island developing states in the Pacific region, school leaders face a myriad of challenges due to limited human and material resources, and a fragile economic base. Written by Pacific Islander authors, this book provides insights from different countries in the Pacific Islands. It shows how contextual challenges can exert enormous pressure on school leaders who are leading and managing schools without any leadership preparation. Given the importance of effective leadership practices and its impact on student learning outcomes, this book aims to be a source of reference for practitioners and educational authorities who have a vested interest in the provision of quality education in the Pacific region and beyond.

Coup
Author: Brij V. Lal
Publisher: ANU E Press
ISBN: 1921536373
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
May 19, 2000. Fiji's democratically elected multiracial government is hijacked by a group of armed gunmen led by George Speight, and held hostage for fifty days. Suva, the capital, is torched and looted as Speight's supporters gather on the lawns of the parliamentary complex, dancing, cooking food, celebrating the purported abrogation of the constitution that brought the People's Coalition government to power. The country is plunged into darkness yet again, enduring the pain of three coups in a period of just thirteen years. The process of healing and reconciliation, symbolised by the enactment of a new Constitution, unanimously approved by Parliament and blessed by the powerful Great Council of Chiefs, lies discarded, as winds of ethnic chauvinism sweep through the countryside, damaging the fragile fabric of multiculturalism that was carefully constructed by so many over many years. The economy is on the brink of collapse, investor confidence has vanished, and the best and the brightest are seeking succour on other shores. Fiji falls victim, yet again, to the prejudice and greed of a section of its people. This book gathers together a handful of memoirs of those tragic events in Fiji. They were written while the gun was still smoking; personal, anguished reactions of people from all walks of life, concerned about a country they all love but deeply distressed by the developments there. They are first reactions. They will in time become essential building blocks for a larger interpretive framework of academic analysis about origins, processes and impacts. Straight from the heart, these memoirs will be remembered as the people of Fiji and their friends elsewhere contemplate the wreckage and ruin brought about by that act of madness in the month of May 2000.

Designed Leadership
Author: Moura Quayle
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231544685
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Great leaders aspire to manage “by design”—with a sense of purpose and foresight. But too few leaders incorporate the proven practices and principles of the design disciplines. Lessons learned from the world of design, when applied to management, can turn leaders into collaborative, creative, deliberate, and accountable visionaries. Design thinking loosens the mind and activates innovation. It creates the conditions for employees to thrive and for all kinds of businesses to succeed. In Designed Leadership, the strategic-design scholar and urban-systems designer Moura Quayle shares her plan for integrating design and leadership, translating processes, principles, and practices from years of experience into tools of change for professional leaders. Quayle describes the key concepts of designed leadership, such as “make values explicit” and “learn from natural systems,” showing how strategic design can spur individual creativity and harness collective energy. For managers at any level, Designed Leadership uses original visuals and field-tested examples to teach the kind of thinking, theorizing, and practicing that result in long-lasting high performance in the workplace and beyond.

The General’s Goose
Author: Robbie Robertson
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1760461288
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
His admirers said he was a charismatic leader with a dazzling smile, a commoner following an ancient tradition of warrior service on behalf of an indigenous people who feared marginalisation at the hands of ungrateful immigrants. One tourist pleaded with him to stage a coup in her backyard; in private parties around the capital, Suva, infatuated women whispered ‘coup me baby’ in his presence. It was so easy to overlook the enormity of what he had done in planning and implementing Fiji’s first military coup, to be seduced by celebrity, captivated by the excitement of the moment, and plead its inevitability as the final eruption of long-simmering indigenous discontent. A generation would pass before the consequences of the actions of Fiji’s strongman of 1987, Sitiveni Rabuka, would be fully appreciated but, by then, the die had been well and truly cast. The major general did not live happily ever after. No nirvana followed the assertion of indigenous rights. If anything, misadventure became his country’s most enduring contemporary trait. This is Fiji’s very human story.
