Service as a leadership competency at Director/CEO level

- Chilton, Ilse Mercia


  • Authors: Chilton, Ilse Mercia
  • Date: 2022-12
  • Subjects: Leadership Moral and ethical aspects , Servant leadership , Compassion , Humility , Integrative thinking , Critical incident technique , Transformational leadership
  • Language: English
  • Type: Academic theses , Master's theses , text

  • Description: Given ethical failures in leadership, the actions and decisions of leaders are receiving renewed attention based on the role business plays in society. Business leaders need to demonstrate their willingness to consider their influence on society and not merely consider the demands and expectations of shareholders. Leaders must consider the ethical lens through which their decisions and actions are perceived. Service as a leadership competency can develop ethical leadership. Currently, service is not clearly defined and understood, and Pearse (2017) proposes five interrelated elements of service as a competency, namely individualised consideration, compassion, motivation to lead, humility and integrated thinking. The study examined if the five interrelated service elements are present when a leader at Director/CEO level exercises an act of service towards a follower. The study adopted a qualitative deductive thematic approach, collecting data through semi-structured interviews and using the critical incident technique to guide the interviews. The study's findings support the research proposition that service as a leadership competency consists of the five elements, but with some of these elements expanded. Service as a leadership competency is recommended to develop high-quality social relationships within an organisation, which will positively impact the corporate culture. Organisations can recruit and select leaders based on ethical leadership requirements and integrate these into performance management systems. Recommendations for further research have also been made. , Thesis (MBA) -- Faculty of Commerce, Rhodes Business School, 2023

Exploring Ubuntu as service leadership competency

- Bangushe, Anele Greatjoy


  • Authors: Bangushe, Anele Greatjoy
  • Date: 2022-10-14
  • Subjects: Leadership Moral and ethical aspects , Ubuntu (Philosophy) , Methodist Church of South Africa , Servant leadership South Africa Makhanda , Christian leadership South Africa Makhanda , Community leadership South Africa Makhanda , Critical incident technique
  • Language: English
  • Type: Academic theses , Master's theses , text
  • Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/380743 , vital:67488
  • Description: This is a case study conducted in the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA), Grahamstown, in the Eastern Cape. Against the backdrop of identifying and conceptualising ethically oriented leadership competencies, the purpose of this study was to explore service as a leadership competency. The literature reviewed in this research underscored the importance of effective and ethical leadership, but critiqued the Westernised, individualistic orientation of the conceptualisation of service as a leadership competency. Based on a review of the literature, this study proposes that when African leaders are in leadership four components of Ubuntu are involved when they exercise service as a leadership competency. These components are collective consideration, collective compassion, community server and Ubuntu humility. The main aim of this study is to investigate if leaders display these four components when exercising service towards their followers, and if so, how, and why they do so. A conceptual framework of components of Ubuntu, which culminated in research themes and propositions, were produced from the literature chapter. A qualitative research method was adopted in this study in which eight participants were selected through convenience sampling for this case study. One minister and seven Vice-Presidents of various organisations in the Methodist Church were interviewed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for data collection and a deductive thematic analysis approach was employed to analyse data. Also, the critical incident technique (CIT) was utilised to structure interview questions, which is best fitting to solicit complex and comprehensive data from the interviewees. In its findings, the study confirmed the presence of the four components of Ubuntu, but several delimitations and limitations are acknowledged. Nevertheless, the study has made some contribution to understanding the display of service as a leadership competency in an African context. The implications for management practice are considered and recommendations made for future research. , Thesis (MBA) -- Faculty of Commerce, Rhodes Business School, 2022
