Searching for a Model of Good Leadership in the Light of Exodus 18:12-27 and African Culture

It is an undeniable fact that the success or the failure of any given society or community of human beings depends largely on who controls the affairs of that group.A leader without a clear vision and setting objectives simply drags the group being led into turmoil,while a good leadership paves the way to upward movement of a group of human beings under such a leadership.Searching for a model of good leadership becomes then a serious need in any human society since success is desired by everybody.This study has therefore searched for a recommendable or model of good leadership in the light of Exodus 18:12-27 and African culture.The biblical text was studied as a narrative peace dealing with the change of leadership style by Moses,the ancient leader of the Israelites.He changed from the sole-actor style of leadership to a collaborative and democratic type due to the good advice given to him by Jethro,his father-in-law.This type,in which there was decentralisation of leadership authority,was found to be beneficial to all involved,because the work of the leader(Moses)was made lighter and the led got quicker services.African concepts of leadership were also studied,and it was found out that the African/Igbo democratic style is highly recommendable because it is caring;it has good“listening ears”and excludes dictatorship,without degenerating to the laissez-faire type of leadership.Of the various types of leadership styles examined,the democratic,collaborative type ranks first as recommendable.The Jesus-model of leadership as entailing love and service rather than exploitation,as well as the transparency model of leadership offered by St.Paul in the NT,present themselves as models of good leadership.A good leader serves the interest of the group under his/her charge and not his or her selfish and nepotistic interest.

Humanizing the Culture of Technology Teams: Strategies for Creating Healthier and More Productive Work Environments

With the advancement of technology, companies are increasingly dependent on technology teams to stay competitive. However, members of these teams often work in stressful and unhealthy environments, which can undermine their productivity and well-being. The humanization of the culture of technology teams is an approach that aims to create healthier and more productive work environments for team members, promoting balance between personal and professional life. Despite the importance of a healthy and productive work environment, many companies do not invest in strategies to humanize the culture of their technology teams. This can lead to high levels of stress, staff turnover and low productivity. The objective of this project is to identify effective strategies to humanize the culture of technology teams and create healthier and more productive work environments in digital companies. For this, factors such as management styles, psychological safety, human-centered development, individual beliefs and time and energy management will be analyzed. The project’s methodology will include a literature review on the subject and qualitative data analysis will be performed using a content analysis approach. This project will contribute to the advancement of knowledge about the humanization of the culture of technology teams in digital companies. The results can be applied to companies that want to create healthier and more productive work environments for their team members.

文化领导力概念框架与我国文化领军人才培养

新时期文化人才尤其是文化领军人才的培养是文化领域的基础性关键性问题。文章首先采用元分析方法,通过文化领导力相关研究的收集和整理,系统梳理文化领导力演进的3个领域、3个阶段和3个维度,进而全面调研全球代表性文化领导力培训项目和文化领导力学位项目。在此基础上,从文化机构、文化领域、公共领域等文化领导力的3个发力场域,以及管理能力、治理能力、参与能力等文化领导力的3类核心能力出发,初步建构文化领导力的概念框架,并对文化领导能力目标进行分解。研究发现:文化领导能力的培养,除文化领导者个人的教育背景、实践经历、人格魅力之外,主要通过文化领导力知识体系的学习来促成;全球代表性文化领导力培训项目和学位项目展示了这一知识体系3个面向、6类知识的整体框架。文章从培养目标、知识体系和培养方式3个方面讨论国际文化领导力研究和实践项目对我国新时期文化领军人才培养的启示,提出可以将培育文化领导力视作我国文化领军人才培养的整体目标和分解目标,搭建了包括知识面向和知识分类两个维度的知识体系框架,指出开展分类别、分层次、精设计、高水准、高强度、全脱产的专业培训是培养我国文化领军人才的基本方式。

列宁文化批判思想基本向度、价值逻辑和当代意义

文化问题在列宁的整个理论与实践生涯中占据重要位置,特别是十月革命胜利后基于社会主义实践遭遇到的现实问题,使其进一步意识到文化上的落后与错误文化思想对社会主义建设构成的深层阻滞力与巨大危害,意识到加强文化建设的重要性和必要性。在社会主义文化探索中,列宁对以第二国际为代表的修正主义文化、无产阶级文化派为代表的虚无主义文化及根深蒂固的宗教文化等进行了深入持久的批判,指出这些思想或是扭曲马克思主义的理论实质、或是采取文化虚无主义的态度、或是对俄国文化的未来持悲观论调。通过上述文化批判,列宁进一步意识到夺取与巩固文化领导权的重要性、紧迫性,明晰了社会主义文化建设的基本向度、价值逻辑。社会主义文化是具有崇高理想的文化,本质在于消除文化领域的异化,实现人类文化领域的解放。在意识形态领域斗争日益常态化、激烈化、隐蔽化的今天,深入思考列宁社会主义文化建设及其文化批判思想,具有重要的理论价值与现实意义。

新时代党的文化领导权的价值意蕴与实践进路

党的文化领导权是中国共产党执政合法性和权威性的重要体现,具有引领方向和凝聚共识的双重作用。新时代党的文化领导权的价值定位,从理论依据、历史生成和现实要求等三个方面展开;新时代党的文化领导权的内容构成,应包括理论建构权、工作管理权、价值引领权、话语主导权等内容;从坚持党的文化领导权实践进路上,应形成系统化建设、管理、传播、监督的闭环链路。推而论之,深刻认识党的文化领导权的价值定位、准确把握其内容构成、系统深化其实践进路,对新时代宣传思想文化工作的提质增效具有重要的理论价值与实践意义。

中国共产党的文艺制度与文化领导权建构

文艺制度是中国共产党建构文化领导权的重要途径之一。党的文艺制度是马克思主义文艺理论中国化、时代化的重要成果,其建构经历了从“以苏为师”到自主探索的发展过程。中国共产党在革命、建设、改革开放与中国特色社会主义新时代的不同阶段,基于文化领导权建构的需要,探索并建立了会议制度、组织制度、生产制度等一系列文艺制度。文艺会议制度确立了党对文艺工作的意识形态引领的基本原则与方向,文艺组织制度确保了党对文艺工作者的团结与动员,增强了文艺界的向心力,文艺生产制度则推动了党领导下的社会主义核心价值观的培育与弘扬。一百年来,中国共产党根据不同阶段对文艺性质的不同认识和文艺功能的不同定位,与时俱进地调整对文艺工作的领导方式与管理方法,不断推进文艺治理能力和治理体系的现代化。通过一系列文艺制度建设,党逐步确立和巩固了文化领导权,丰富和发展了中国马克思主义文艺理论,并完善和深化了中国特色社会主义制度体系。

中国共产党以中国式现代化引领意识形态建设的实践与贡献

意识形态关乎人民幸福安康,关乎民族前途命运,关乎国家兴衰存亡。中国共产党坚持以意识形态立党、以意识形态看家,在新时代的伟大征程中不断深化对意识形态建设的规律性认识,以前所未有的勇气、决心和毅力将意识形态建设置于治国理政、安邦定国的新高度,从深化意识形态理论创新、完善意识形态制度体系、强化意识形态领导力量、优化意识形态生成环境、筑牢意识形态防护体系等方面多维发力,推动我国意识形态领域形势发生了全局性、根本性转变。梳理总结新时代中国共产党意识形态建设的实践与贡献,是回首意识形态建设过往路和远眺意识形态建设前行路之必须,对新时代新征程建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态具有重要意义。

列宁文化领导权思想的理论特点

在马克思主义发展史上列宁首次提出“领导权”概念,并深刻阐述了无产阶级政党掌握文化领导权的丰富思想内涵,提出思想文化和意识形态阵地如果无产阶级不去占领,资产阶级必然去占领的科学论断。列宁文化领导权思想是对马克思主义文化理论的继承和发展,是对形形色色文化思想的批判和超越,因而体现出强烈的思想特点和理论魅力。列宁文化领导权思想具有鲜明的批判性、强烈的政治性、突出的人民性和显著的建设性特点。总结概括列宁文化领导权的思想特点,对揭示其思想实质、领会其核心要义、贯彻其基本精神,并在当代的实践中弘扬和发展列宁的文化领导权思想,具有重要的理论意义与实践意义。

民办高校如何加强党的领导和建设——兼谈民办高校治理和大学文化建设

党的领导和党的建设是民办高校优化提升内部治理体系和治理能力的最核心、最关键的问题。不同于公办高校实行党委领导下的校长负责制,民办高校实行的是董事会依据大学章程进行办学和管理、坚持党的领导和依法治校有机统一的制度。民办高校党委要行使两大职能:一是发挥政治核心作用,包括加强和改进思想政治教育及立德树人的工作;二是要执行政府对民办高校的督导功能,督促学校依法办学,规范管理,切实维护民办高校的和谐稳定。同时,民办高校在发展过程中,尤其要注重完善内部治理模式,加强大学文化和大学精神建设,找准定位、依法办学、特色强校、文化聚人,走个性化、特色化办学之路,从而为中国教育事业的发展作出杰出贡献。

设计硕士“产业引领+非遗传创”培养模式探索

基于高校设计硕士培养对学生创新、实践能力要求的不断提高,结合传统产业转型背景以及非遗传承与创新发展需求,对设计硕士“产业引领+非遗传创”培养模式作出探讨。该模式整合企业、高校、非遗项目各方资源,通过组建“三师型”教学团队、采用“交互型”教学组织、实现“变现型”教学目标等步骤得以实现。该模式中,高校充分发挥科研人员优势,企业提供信息与技术、非遗项目供给创意文化资源,将企业要求、非遗传承目标、科研要求耦合于设计硕士的培养过程中,是“产学研”协同创新,全面、系统、准确推进,深化高校设计硕士创新能力培养的有效探索。

坚持党的文化领导权的理论逻辑与实践意蕴

中国共产党一直重视文化建设和领导权问题。坚持党的文化领导权是习近平文化思想的核心问题,是意识形态领域形势发生全局性、根本性转变后做出的重大论断。从“党对意识形态工作的领导权”到“党的文化领导权”,体现出我们党对社会主义文化建设规律的认识达到了新高度。坚持文化领导权、保证文化主体性的确立,是实现“两个结合”的重要基础,因此也是文化自信的根本保证。坚持党的文化领导权要体现在新征程上的文化建设具体实践中,推动实现其制度化与法治化,进一步巩固和加强主流意识形态的地位,努力完成文化繁荣这一历史使命,还要将其延伸到网络空间。
