Beyond the charismatic leader: leadership and organizational change

Article Abstract:

In ever more turbulent environments, executive leadership matters as never before. Organizational speed, flexibility, and the need to execute discontinuous change require sharpened leadership skills. Charismatic leaders are important. These relatively rare leaders provide vision, direction, and energy for their firms. However, charisma is never enough to build competitive, agile organizations. Charismatic leadership must be bolstered by institutional leadership through attention to details on roles, structures, and rewards. Further, as most organizations are too large and complex for any one executive or senior team to directly manage, responsibility for managing in turbulent environments must be institutionalized throughout the management system.

Managing conflict in software development teams: a multilevel analysis

Article Abstract:

Conflict management in software development teams take the form of confrontation and the 'give and take' styles, both of which are effective at allowing the conflict issues to arise and allowing parties engaged in the conflict to withdraw with an effective measure of success in resolving the issues. Confrontation is deemed to be the better solution to conflicts among software development teams since the style approaches the problem solving technique which most of the participants in the teams are familiar with.
