Good to see management/leadership related research coming out of University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus that can actually be applicable to local businesses. Hopefully we will reach to the point where the studies are actually conducted within local business. #leadership #academia
Excited to see our research on the dual nature of leadership featured in the Trinidad Express! Leadership can simultaneously build and break organizations, and our study sheds light on these two forms—role-modelling leadership that promotes a positive work culture and destructive leadership practices that can be a double-edged sword. Thank you to Henry Bailey for encouraging us to share our research with the wider public. Kudos to Morana Beharry and Visha Dilraj, two of our brilliant undergraduate students, for crafting such a thoughtful and comprehensive article. This was no easy task, especially when stepping outside your discipline. I must also acknowledge my co-author Amanda T. Singh, whose collaboration on the role-modelling leadership study was invaluable. Special thanks also to Vicky Khadoo-Ramsingh for her incredible support in coordinating with the media to make this happen. Let’s continue exploring how leadership can better serve organizations and communities by adopting a balanced and flexible approach. #Leadership #Research #OrganizationalSuccess #UWI
