Abstract:
As leadership is crucial for organizational success, it is essential that leaders have means for analyzing situations and determining appropriate leadership actions and behaviors. The "Thinking Framework," developed from extant leadership theory, periodical literature and leadership consultancy best practices, provides a holistic approach for making leadership decisions. The framework dimensions establish a systematic thought process allowing the leader to select appropriate theoretical constructs and behavioral responses for application to various leadership scenarios. The framework also introduces significant avenues for future research as well as direct application for instructors, students and practitioners.
