Phronesis Embedded Leadership and its Role in Conflict Management
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Conflict management has emerged as a major subfield of organization behavior in which researchers have presented numerous models and approaches to deal with conflicting situations. In this context, leadership has been identified as one of the promising approaches to effectively deal with conflict. Built upon the strong and constant interplay that exists between leadership and conflict management this paper presents a conceptual argument that the “phronesis centered leadership” is more likely to play an effective role in managing the conflict because phronetic leadership abilities help the leaders to make quick and righteous decisions in problematic situations. This propositional paper outlines that how a conceptual model of phronesis centered leadership can be applied to conflict management. This paper concludes with a discussion that wisdom of senior transformational leader and as well as distributed wisdom in an organization play an important role in managing conflict.
