| Summary: | While Ekvall and Arvonen used the three dimensions model of leadership
behavior; focus on task, focus on people and a concern for change. They
implanted creative leadership on the third dimension which includes:
management competencies, leadership strategies and leading at the edge
of chaos. The Islamic model builds on Deism concept that insist the
oneness of Allah, and its influences on different levels of leadership. The
first and foremost consequence to Deism concept is self-liberation from
imitation, that resulted in inducing change. Its influence on people and
task dimensions might be shown in developing an accountability feeling
that leads to transparency in a variety of behaviors. The dimension of
change might reflect the insights provided by Deism concept in its three
levels. In the first level; management competencies, there are three
constituents such as preparing qualified leaders who are oratorical and
able to change traditional concepts, and to have positive expectations in
individuals, and gaining their agreement. On the other hand, major
improvements are required in the second level which should make
profound effects. The key for these effects is the quality of interpersonal
relationships. The most important level is leading in the edge of chaos
because leadership should function in a high anxiety context by using
integrative methods to accomplish tasks. Leaders ought to deploy the
talented and independent minded companions. As a result; such a
creative leadership might lead to establish active and genius communities. |
