Exeter Friendly Society

“Exeter Friendly Society has been working with CLS for seven or eight
years, when I first felt that our organisation needed an outside perspective
on our management and leadership training. In financial services
particularly, there is a lack of training in the softer skills, such as
leadership, and too much emphasis on financial accounting and legal
issues; you need to know how to deal with people properly to create the
right environment.
   At the same time, I was looking for a course of study to pursue
personally that would fit with my needs as a CEO and the workload that
brings. I was one of the first people to enrol on the MA in Leadership
Studies and had a wonderful experience; the attitude of all the CLS staff
was professional and creative, and they were very willing to help.
   The main involvement I have with CLS now is with the Leadership
Partners programme, and I go to the ‘4x4’ events whenever I can. The
events enable me to get together with like-minded people who have
similar responsibilities, and to see things from a different perspective in a
way that benefits the customer and the company. Leadership skills are of
paramount importance and the vehicle that the ‘4x4’ group provides is

“Leadership Matters is a rare
     gem in a market that is rather
  cluttered with information about
             leading organisations.
The magazine is always a welcome
read at home – that can be said of
    few papers that head my ways.
     Thank you for maintaining the
 high standards of inspiring articles
                      and reviews.”

How to improve leadership development
We support and evaluate innovative leadership development
programmes, and we are interested in the more diffuse experiences
and processes which form and prepare people for leadership.
Our research is designed to understand the complex relationship
between individual learning, reflection and application. We exercise a
healthy scepticism toward ‘quick fix’ recipes for leadership
development and simplistic theories and concepts that do more to
obscure than to enlighten. We seek to understand leadership
development in context and take into account such influencing factors
as one’s peer group, organisational culture and broader socio-
economic trends.

The relationship between leadership and
organisational performance
Leadership and performance can both be understood as part of a
complex network of inter- and intra-organisational processes.
We challenge the assumption that there is a simple ‘cause and effect’
relationship between leadership and organisational performance.
Our research in this area is grounded in the traditions of organisation
studies and social theory. As such, it is directed towards understanding
individual and organisational performance through systemic
relationships and processes in preference to more static perspectives,
such as those based on competency or performance indicator
frameworks.

Exeter Friendly Society “Exeter Friendly Society has been working with CLS for seven or eight years, when I first felt that our organisation needed an outside perspective on our management and leadership training. In financial services particularly, there is a lack of training in the softer skills, such as leadership, and too much emphasis on financial accounting and legal issues; you need to know how to deal with people properly to create the right environment. At the same time, I was looking for a course of study to pursue personally that would fit with my needs as a CEO and the workload that brings. I was one of the first people to enrol on the MA in Leadership Studies and had a wonderful experience; the attitude of all the CLS staff was professional and creative, and they were very willing to help. The main involvement I have with CLS now is with the Leadership Partners programme, and I go to the ‘4x4’ events whenever I can. The events enable me to get together with like-minded people who have similar responsibilities, and to see things from a different perspective in a way that benefits the customer and the company.

Our research Faculty at CLS are involved in a range Personal challenges of leadership of research activities that tend towards Through our research we seek to help individuals make sense of a engagement in qualitative activities of variety of seemingly intractable dilemmas associated with leadership. Many of these arise from a complex interaction between ethical, individuals, groups and organisations. political and personal considerations. Some of these challenges belong to those in leadership roles; others are more to do with the Our research can be broadly grouped expectations of other people. What can leaders do to improve their under four themes: chances of success, and how can others relate to them in a constructive way? New ways of thinking about leadership Are leaders necessary? Do leaders simply pull their followers or do those behind push them? Are our theories of leadership too fixed and individualistic? A common assumption made in 21st century Anglo- American cultures is that we can solve all organisational problems by finding the right leader. We challenge the simplistic nature of this assumption and through our research and teaching seek to help people in organisations find meaningful solutions to the leadership problems they perceive. We aim to illuminate the limitations of habitual and conventional thinking about leadership and to engage with ideas and explore valuable alternatives from different enquiry paradigms. These alternative perspectives draw on insights from such disciplines as philosophy, political theory, economics, sociology, and theology in order to balance insights from the more obvious disciplines of psychology and business studies which have dominated the leadership field in recent years. 18 www.exeter.ac.uk/cls
  • 19. How to improve leadership development We support and evaluate innovative leadership development programmes, and we are interested in the more diffuse experiences and processes which form and prepare people for leadership. Our research is designed to understand the complex relationship between individual learning, reflection and application. We exercise a healthy scepticism toward ‘quick fix’ recipes for leadership development and simplistic theories and concepts that do more to obscure than to enlighten. We seek to understand leadership development in context and take into account such influencing factors as one’s peer group, organisational culture and broader socio- economic trends. The relationship between leadership and organisational performance Leadership and performance can both be understood as part of a complex network of inter- and intra-organisational processes. We challenge the assumption that there is a simple ‘cause and effect’ relationship between leadership and organisational performance. Our research in this area is grounded in the traditions of organisation studies and social theory. As such, it is directed towards understanding individual and organisational performance through systemic relationships and processes in preference to more static perspectives, such as those based on competency or performance indicator frameworks. www.exeter.ac.uk/cls 19
