Abstract: The dominant approach to leadership research has been undergirded by linear epistemology and transcends many discourses, practice, and scholarship in the field of leadership and leadership development. Leadership research has a long history of a quantitative approach, and it remains the most commonly used approach among leadership researchers. Although the application of mixed methods research designs has been examined across many fields and disciplines, it has yet to be specifically addressed in the context of leadership research. There is, however, a rise in research grounded in nonlinear epistemology, although the underlying methodological approaches have not clearly been defined. In a multimethods mixed methods study to identify skill needs for agrifood nanotechnology, a comprehensive methodology was developed for a systems approach research in organisational leadership. In this paper, this multimethods mixed methods research study is used as an illustration to provide a template and an approach that can be adapted in other leadership research.

Abstract: In this paper, we make an attempt to advance the ingredients that come together to inform an Indian perspective on leadership derived from indigenous knowledge traditions. In doing so, we draw from the life of Mahatma Gandhi the spiritual principles that he sought to base his political engagement for India's independence from British rule. We are persuaded to the view that the Mahatmas practice was profoundly informed by the spiritual principles he espoused and there is much to be gained on a specifically Indian conception of leadership from understanding that dialectic.

Abstract: This paper aims to explore how authentic leadership potentially leads to superior innovation capability by fostering creativity components namely: intrinsic motivation, creativity-relevant skills and domain-relevant skills. The insights drawn from this study make known three patterns of relationships among authentic leadership, creativity and innovation capability and, establish the impact of authentic leadership on innovation capability through components of creativity. Based on these insights, some of the significant implications of the study are that, practitioners can get the knowledge on how to foster creativity components to a great extent through authentic leadership and how to motivate employees towards creative and innovative practices which further boost firm's capability to innovate and, compete in the market. Further implications and future prospects are discussed in detail.

Abstract: The whole body of literature linking employee customer oriented attitudes with desirable customer outcomes can be seen as lending support to the argument that customer orientation matters to organisations (Liao and Subramony, 2008). But as well as from literature as from my own experiences, it becomes clear that it is difficult to develop and implement customer oriented thinking in organisations. To study the emergence of customer orientation in an organisation methods are required that are consonant with the continuous processes of mutual adaptation, mutual anticipation and meaning making that occurs when people have to work together to achieve things (Mowles, 2011). This paper presents a perspective that acknowledges customer orientation as a social, rich, multifaceted and complex phenomenon. The methodological implications of this perspective are discussed, focusing on the explicit non-dualistic view in which personal experiences and reflections of the researcher are taken seriously.
