Will the leadership style used in the U.S. be successful in Australia, or will the Australians respond better to another? Which leadership training methodology would be most successful with your Australian leaders?
Well I think that any learned leadership can be successful anywhere really. It does not matter where or how you learn leadership. If a person of good ethic's, morals and knowledge can learn and teach what one knows to others he or she can run anything. Once a leader knows what values they hold and they base their decision-making off of the work ethics learned they can then maintain quality stakeholder relationships with there country. People then trust in their capabilities to lead them. They then trust in each other and learn from each other.
(a) values-based leadership; - Australia and U.S. share the same values and hold a high cultural affinities. They are Friends
(b) ethical decision-making, and - There economic, academic, and people-to-people ties are very strong. They've been thru many up's and down's that have now pulled them closer then ever.
(c) quality stakeholder relationships - They have a diplomatic relationship and have held this relationship for over 80 years now. But the United States does not do development assistance to Australia but they do coordinate closely on development assistance policy's in the Indo-Pacific region and globally.
For the U.S. and Australia its a two-way foreign direct investment. They build off one another. What the US provides for Australia helps grow all of the above mentioning's and in return the US grows off the knowledge and capabilities Australia brings to the table.
The US and Australia built a familiar foundation in corporate framework, and a sophisticated yet straightforward business culture. Learning and development training is the most successful way of leadership for Australian's I think.
The leadership style used in the U.S. can be successful in Australia if it is adapted to fit the more egalitarian and direct communication preferences of Australians (like Germans). Australians tend to value leaders who are approachable, transparent, and collaborative rather than hierarchical and authoritative. Therefore, leadership training methodologies that emphasize participative decision-making, authentic communication, and team-based approaches would resonate well with Australian leaders. Situational leadership training, which adapts leadership style to the maturity and competence of the team, could be particularly effective in this context.
I think the leadership style in the u s can not be successful in Australia because of the cultural differences and differences in values. If we consider different leadership styles like transformational leadership, servant leadership and authentic leadership, may fit in one culture and not in the other culture.
Ecology of Administration shows that the there are environmental forces impinging on the administrative structure and administrative behaviour. To this end, difference in political, socio-cultural, economic and technological milieu will make the leadership style that serves in US not strive that much in Australia.
