RESEARCH AIM The aim of this study is to provide a deeper understanding in how leadership competencies are perceived to be important for hybrid team members team performance in both, a virtual and face-to-face setting. This, to investigate how different leadership competencies could be used by a hybrid team leader to manage the hybrid teams performance. RESEARCH METHOD This study uses qualitative research method and is conducted by using exploratory research. The data for this study was collected through 10 semi-structured interviews with hybrid team members. The collected data was analysed by using a thematic analysis approach. THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE Previous literature has been examined, where three concepts have been chosen for this study: Hybrid teams, hybrid team leadership and leadership competencies. Based on the examined literature, a conceptual framework was constructed by the authors. RESULTS Interpersonal sensitivity as a leadership competence was fundamentally important for all hybrid team members, as a strong socio-emotional relationship was required to create a desire for other competencies. The complexity of hybrid teams was evident in how virtual team members perceived leadership actions, as they felt misunderstood by the hybrid team leader and alienated from the hybrid team. CONCLUSION The hybrid team leader needs to carefully consider the virtual team members needs to mitigate their negative perception of team performance. It could be done by allowing more autonomy by practising a supportive leadership role, use one-to-one meetings for relationship building, and by giving clear guidelines.

The objectives of this study were to identify leadership competencies required by health services leaders, determine the role of mentorship in leadership development and, make recommendations for succession planning in the public health sector. A quantitative approach using an exploratory and descriptive design was used, with the intention of conducting a census survey. Respondents were managers in positions 11 and upward. Findings revealed that experience assisted managers in improving the technical competencies of human resources, financial and strategic planning, but not that of leadership skills and behaviour, and communication and relationship management, which required development in the form of mentorship. It is recommended that leadership development for future leaders be embedded in succession planning, based on policy guidelines. Limitations of this study were that a response rate of 30% was achieved and due to the narrow geographical coverage, the findings could not be generalised. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Bakgrund: Utvecklingen inom informationsteknik (IT) har skapat många möjligheter för samhället, vilket har lett till framgångsrika IT-bolag som erbjuder digitala produkter och tjänster. IT-sektorn har en hög tillväxttakt vilket attraherar investeringar och skapar jobbmöjligheter. Trots detta är risken att misslyckas inom IT-sektorn hög, och många nystartade IT-bolag överlever inte de första åren på grund av den dynamiska och komplexa miljön de verkar i. Inom IT-sektorn finns det tusentals nystartade bolag, och begreppen 'start-up' och 'scale-up' används för att beskriva dessa. Ett start-ups är ett ungt bolag i ett tidigt utvecklingsstadie, medan scale-up är ett bolag som har nått nästa tillväxtfas och strävar efter att öka sin omsättning och etablera sin marknadsposition. Ledarskapet i dessa miljöer har visat sig spela en avgörande roll för framgång i både start-ups och scale-ups, då miljön är ytterst osäker och snabbföränderlig. Däremot är det fortfarande oklart vilken typ av ledare, och mer specifikt vilka ledarskapskompetenser, som bidrar till ett framgångsrikt start-up respektive scale-up. Tidigare forskning pekar även på att ledarskap är högst kontextrelaterat, och att de ledarskapskompetenser som är viktiga i en kontext inte behöver vara densamma i en annan. Ledarskapskompetenser bör därmed identifieras och utvecklas för att säkerställa att ledaren innehar rätt färdigheter, kunskap, beteende och egenskaper som krävs för att nå strategiska mål och prestationsförväntningar i den specifika miljön.  Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka och få en ökad förståelse för vilka ledarskapskompetenser som associeras med framgång vid IT-bolags tillväxtfaser, start-up respektive scale-up. Metod: Studien har ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt och utgår från en hermeneutisk ansats eftersom den syftar till att förstå och tolka företeelser inom det valda forskningsområdet. Vidare används en abduktiv ansats, vilket medför att forskare i denna studie växlar mellan empirisk och teoretisk reflektion. För insamling av empiri har semistrukturerade intervjuer nyttjas med noga utvalda respondenter. Insamlad empiri har sedan analyserats genom en tematisk analys. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att det inte är någon markant skillnad mellan de ledarskapskompetenser som associeras med framgång i respektive tillväxtfas. Det tillkommer däremot några ledarskapskompetenser när bolaget skalar upp som relaterar till en ökad arbetsstyrka, vilket kräver mer fokus på struktur och omsorg av medarbetare. Vidare så pekar studiens resultat på att de ledarskapskompetenser som krävs i båda faserna kan behövas nyttjas annorlunda och till olika ändamål. De ledarskapskompetenser som anses krävas i båda tillväxtfaserna är visionär, uthållig, riskbenägen, strategisk, kundfokuserad, kunskapsorienterad, rekryteringsförmåga, omhändertagande, anpassningsbar och flexibel. De ledarskapskompetenser som tillkommer i scale-up är strukturförmåga, förtroende, kommunikativ och kunskapsöverförande.

The general purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in self-perception between male and female leaders. The sample group included male and female leaders in a few companies (e.g Fluor, Human Dynamics, The Munt, Rand Merchant Private bank etc) companies. Each manager's self-perception was tested against the way in which others (managers, peers, subordinates) perceive him or her. The difference between the self-rating and that of the others was measured to establish the difference in perception between self and others. The results showed that men were slightly more self-aware than the females. It is recommended that it would be beneficial to find ways in which the environment can be prepared to limit the impact of gender differences on the implementation of the 360 feedback system (or any other performance management system) and to investigate variables such as cultural differences, age and the concept of self-perception. / Indust & Org Psychology / MA(IND AND ORG PSYCHOLOGY)

is imperative for the South African education system to produce youth who are empowered to grow to be leaders of integrity and courage. Student leaders (prefects) face an enormous challenge in trying to persuade peers to be motivated and self-disciplined. The student leaders need to understand themselves as well as their peers in order to make considered responses to their peers. The level of emotional intelligence of student leaders will determine the effectiveness of their response to fellow students (learners) and allow them to fulfil their leadership responsibilities effectively. Emotional intelligence leadership (EIL) profiles were obtained from an emotional intelligence leadership questionnaire, followed by semi-structured interviews which explored the role of emotional intelligence in student leadership. These research techniques allowed the researcher to gain insight into each student leader’s level of emotional functioning as well as to identify emotional intelligence leadership skills that needed to be developed further. The importance of providing training and opportunities to practise leadership skills at school was emphasized. / Teacher Education / M. Ed. (Educational Management)
