Learning Leadership must Stay Hungry and Stay Empty

Abstract

Leadership is an important function for the success and survival of an organization. This is because leaders have the responsibility to seek meaning and higher purposes as well as using reasoning beyond positive psychology. They pay attention to conditions and processes that contribute to collaborative participation towards the ultimate goals, and they have direct responsibility for planning, commanding, overseeing, and controlling the organization’s personnel to achieve the set objectives and goals. Consequently, the focus lies in how leaders behave or what methods they employ to establish a bond with their subordinates, encouraging them to be committed to their work and strive to achieve success wholeheartedly. Particularly, in a learning leadership context, the leader’s actions and approaches have an impact on building a learning organization. They should possess characteristics and behaviors such as creating shared visions, being a learning person themselves, being open-minded, constantly desiring to acquire new knowledge, being supportive, encouraging subordinates to develop existing skills and learn new ones. They should also avoid negative thinking, foster teamwork, focus on performance outcomes, and create a positive work environment that inspires and motivates.
