In diesem englischsprachigen Artikel argumentieren und zeigen die Autoren empirisch, dass Konstrukte und Messgr\u00f6ssen positiver F\u00fchrungsstile, wie z. B. Authentic, Ethical oder Servant Leadership, keine wahrheitsgetreuen Darstellungen des F\u00fchrungsverhaltens sind. Stattdessen verwechseln diese Stile Verhaltensweisen mit subjektiven Bewertungen von F\u00fchrungskr\u00e4ften. In vier Experimenten zeigen die Autoren, dass positive F\u00fchrungsstile Ergebnisse sind, die von nicht-verhaltensbezogenen, bewertenden Faktoren abh\u00e4ngen, wie z. B. Informationen \u00fcber den fr\u00fcheren Erfolg einer F\u00fchrungskraft oder die \u00dcbereinstimmung von Werten zwischen F\u00fchrungskraft und Gefolgschaft. Noch wichtiger ist, dass die Messgr\u00f6ssen dieser F\u00fchrungsstile kausale Illusionen erzeugen, indem sie objektive Ergebnisse f\u00e4lschlicherweise vorhersagen, selbst wenn das Verhalten der F\u00fchrungskraft und andere f\u00fchrerspezifische Faktoren konstant gehalten werden. Zusammenfassend l\u00e4sst sich sagen, dass die vorliegende Studie ernsthafte Zweifel an der bisherigen Forschung aufkommen l\u00e4sst, die behauptet, dass positive F\u00fchrungsstile zu positiven Ergebnissen f\u00fchren. Nach Ansicht der Autoren ist die Forschung zu positiven F\u00fchrungsstilen nicht nur falsch, sondern auch praktisch nutzlos, da ihre Konstrukte und Messgr\u00f6ssen Amalgame sind, die keine konkreten und erlernbaren Verhaltensweisen isolieren. Die Autoren fordern eine radikale Neuausrichtung der F\u00fchrungsstilforschung und skizzieren Optionen f\u00fcr eine solidere zuk\u00fcnftige Forschung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using interviews, it depicts the fog of war of the first days of the full-scale invasion and shows how leaders led even when faced with an unclear and rapidly changing situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: https:\/\/chacr.org.uk\/2024\/02\/19\/the-battle-of-irpin-river\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n [Handbook of Military Sciences, 08.02.2024, Danny Boga]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whilst civilian life and work can be stressful, it is rarely life-threatening and can often be avoided. This stands in stark contrast to soldiers and commanders mobilised for active service. Whilst it not being life-threatening, Swiss conscription forces young men from their civilian lives into a military setting. As stress rises, mental health suffers, thereby leading to a decrease in performance. In order to maintain the effectiveness of officers, NCOs and soldiers, they need to be resilient towards stress factors. Whilst the individual personality has an influence on personal resilience, resilience can also be strengthened through leaders who are open and supportive in regards to the mental health of their followers. This well-written journal article further discusses how leadership can lead to resilience and elaborates on the potential of resilience training in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: https:\/\/link.springer.com\/referenceworkentry\/10.1007\/978-3-030-02866-4_101-1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n [Healthcare Journal, 05.05.2023, Madlaina Niederhauser, Regula Z\u00fcger, Hubert Annen et al.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n This journal article examines the effectiveness of resilience training in the specific context of the Swiss Armed Forces. The quantitative study suggests that resilience can be strengthened through training. Moreover, it shows that higher individual resilience is associated to coping with stress in a task-oriented way, as opposed to an emotion-oriented way which may exacerbate a stressful situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2227-9032\/11\/9\/1329<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n [War on the Rocks, 02.06.2023, Erik Kramer, Paul Schneider]<\/p>\n\n\n\n The authors have extensively trained with all services of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and summarise the weaknesses of the military training which they have observed. For one, they noticed a lack of mission command which results in indecision and a lack of adaptability. The authors also mention a lack of interagency cooperation. For example, members of the Ukrainian Territorial Defence were not able to use a training base of the Ukrainian national guard. Not only would this be beneficial so the available infrastructure and resources can be used efficiently, but also would more personal exchange within the different elements of the UAF lead to a better understanding of each one’s tasks and to less misunderstandings and mistrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: https:\/\/warontherocks.com\/2023\/06\/what-the-ukrainian-armed-forces-need-to-do-to-win\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n [Long Range Planning 55, 2022, Martin Kornberger und Eero Vaara]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strategy process and practice research has illuminated the internal dynamics of strategy work \u2013 at the cost of backgrounding processes and practices that relate to engagement with external actors. In this conceptual paper, the authors argue for an extension of this body of work by shifting the focus of research from internal practices and processes towards externally oriented practices of engagement. They do so by critically building on the military strategy literature and develop the concept of strategy as engagement. This concept suggests understanding the role of strategy as bridge between policy and tactics; the importance of grand strategy as the making of policy; and the need to focus attention on tactics as distributed collective action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.lrp.2021.102125<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Le \u00ab Update Conduite \u00bb est une rubrique r\u00e9currente de la newsletter Leader’s Digest<\/a>.
