From the Paper:
"Comparable attention to leadership appeared in late 20th century business administration texts to point to leaders as the answer to then uncertain organizations and industries undergoing rapid change. Rather than a staff-line or hierarchical structure, business organizations had to be flexible as management tiers disappeared with down-sizing and restructuring, stopgaps found in individual able to motivate workers and see projects through to completion. This literature borrowed from ideals of military leadership that can be poorly understood by the public, failing to see how best officers are those intensely concerned for those under them. (See Fullan:2001) Like conscientious teachers, they ensure that their decisions are sound, take responsibility for the results of their decisions, do not waver from a well-grounded plan but are also flexible and stable in the face of unexpected reversals."Sample of Sources Used:
