The existing anchored systems and layers of complexities involved
in the interpretation of various leadership styles are discussed in
this book. Smart power as a component within the systems in
leadership styles is explained (Coutu, 2008; Nye, 2008; Nye &
Armitage, 2007). Hard and soft powers are part of the smart power
conceptualization. Academicians and learners are challenged to have
firm gravitas from triggers and cameos emanating from leadership
styles that are Disrupting Existing Systems (DES) elements.
Leadership theories are disruptively challenged (Bass, 1985, 1996;
Burns, 1978, 2006). Germinal and seminar leadership theories are
used to conceptualize, interpret and rationalize why disruption of
an existing system creates effective or ineffective leadership
styles. Other elements in the systems are the value chains, supply
chains, front and back offices, functional operable machines,
disruptive technologies, manpower, capital or human capital and
intellect that lead to optimal production of goods and services
(Porter, 1980b, 1985, 1990; Porter & Stern, 2001). Part two
dissects, analyzes, synthesizes and possibly amalgamates various
organizational systems that were disrupted. Disruptions of the
present systems in organizations such as Virgin Airways,
Hewlett-Packard, UPS, Nokia, AOL Time Warner and Yahoo are used as
case studies to explicate this phenomenon. Part three explains the
housing market in California and in the United States. Current
economy recession due to housing foreclosures in the United States
is discussed. The United States contractions, recessions and
recoveries periods are illuminated. Affordable housing in the
sub-Saharan African region is also explained. For housing to be
affordable and available for the middle-income populations
worldwide, disrupting the anchored and entrenched existing policies
remain a viable and pivotal option. In chapter 16, Professor Ossian
Carraway uses narrative and statistical analysis to explain the
phenomenon and concepts by traversing the landscape of disruptive
technologies expansively.
