浅议授权领导过程

授权领导过程是领导者授权几个有机环节构成的连续工作。授权领导过程中,领导者必须根据授权领导的环节不同而进行不同的领导活动,关注不同的事项,有所为有所不为。授权前,领导者首先必须根据被授权者决定是否授权及其授权大小;其次,根据授权任务的具体情况来决定授权的内容和重点;授权时,要讲究方式方法,明确授权;授权领导过程中,对授权工作任务必须进行适度的监控;授权任务完成后,还要总结经验教训,核查工作,帮助被授权者提高能力,增长知识和经验。     

Michael Howard: The First Jewish Prime Minister?

Initially, Michael Howard seemed the saviour of the divided and disheartened Conservative party, reuniting it in the hope of victory at the next general election. Initially, also, he seemed a match for his fellow barrister, Tony Blair. Though successful at winning over Tory MPs, he was much less effective in relation to all those ex-Tory voters who deserted the party in 1997 and 2001. This failure was confirmed after less than nine months of his leadership, when his party polled poorly at the European elections of June 2004 (where a large slice of the anti-European vote went to UKIP) and came an ignominious third in the Parliamentary by-elections of July 2004. These results, combined with Howard's lacklustre response to the Butler Report, sapped Howard's personal ratings and reopened civil war within the Conservative party.     

Déjà vu? Conservative Problems in Historical Perspective

Since 2001, the Conservative party has found itself in turbulent times. Yet the party has survived similarly difficult periods in the past, eventually recovering its strength and returning to power. Can it do so again? The problems for today's party exist along four key dimensions: leadership, policy, organisation and political circumstances. How grave are contemporary difficulties in each of these areas in comparison to past experience? To what extent is the party now in uncharted waters? Where are there valid historical parallels? The article offers a brief sketch of the lessons that the party needs to learn to recover its election winning formula ‐ an appetite for power and an impressive ability to adapt to changed circumstances. Today's problems are not insurmountable, but the party still has a huge mountain to climb if it is to return to government.     

Followers＇ characteristics and leadership styles： An empirical fit among employees of Pakistan

Over the years, leadership researchers have focused on personality traits and behaviors of the leaders that determine their effectiveness. Contingency theorists, however, argued that ＂effectiveness of leader in any given situation is dependent on the followers＇ characteristics＂, while studying the followers＇ characteristics, most of them were concerned with followers＇ work related characteristics （e.g., ability and willingness to perform their tasks, and dependency of the followers） and needs （need for clarity, need for support, need for supervision, need for independence, and need for leadership）. But very few studies have explored the relationship between followers＇ personality traits and leadership characteristics, and how these personality traits influence the leader＇s ability to adjust their leadership styles. Moreover, the earlier studies either focusing on followers＇ traits or studying the leadership characteristics/styles were based on the data from western countries. Especially, this has been the most neglected area among the behavioral scientists of Pakistan. Therefore, the present study aims at examining the relationship between followers＇ personality characteristics and leadership styles of Pakistani workers and management. For this purpose, the study will utilize personality inventory proposed by Hofstee and de Raad （t992）, and as a result, it will fulfill the stipulations of researchers and practitioners from follower centered approach to leadership.     

Police Corruption and its Prevention

This article has two themes. Firstly, that police corruption is not an individual aberration of an incidental nature that can be readily combated with temporary, repressive measures. The 'new realism' on this maintains that corruption and police misconduct are persistent and constantly recurring hazards generated by the organisation itself. Secondly, there is consensus on effective measures to tackle it and to promote integrity. Ingredients are strong leadership, a multi-faceted organisational strategy, a well-resourced internal affairs unit, proactive techniques of investigation, and persistent efforts to promote professional standards. The essence is a judicious and sophisticated balance between negative and positive social control. Policing is about the rule of law and due process: corruption and other forms of police deviance undermine the legitimacy of the police organisation and by implication the state. A 'clean' police is a crucial barometer of a healthy society. One can have few illusions about the difficulty of achieving this but a comparative review of the experience in four societies - USA, Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands - provides clear indicators about reform, control and leadership in fostering integrity and in tackling corruption.
