Methodology & Philosophy of Science
In this chapter I discuss the research methods suitable for the study and what is useful for it to use in response for the problem statement which is directed towards the creative leaders in companies. Furthermore, in this chapter I present the methods which I used to find out needed information for the project. Thus, this part specifies the methods of research which I used, data collection and analysis of gathered data.
Philosophy of Science
All people in the world culture, appearence, behaviour mostly depends on nationality, country. Hence, view on the world and how they perceive it is different. As we all have different lifes, different destinies, so many things we create our own truth, and we

But, there are people who want to change something in they life or just want to feel happier then they try to interact with the world that all these wishes become reality, while others just sit, wait and do nothing or wish that things would be better. The same we could adapt to the organizations. One do something that can achieve better results and would be the best, while another – just goes with the stream and waiting for a better time and think how to survive. (For this reason in the organizations we need creative leaders.) Hence, I as scientist understand that everyone has their own truth and there is no one right answer for a question, because it depends on everyone individual experience.
“In the modern world subjectivist philosophies have become very popular as they challenge the notion of absolute Truth which allows people to democratize truths.” (Andrews, 2012). In other words, the truths become relative with each person, due to we find out the truth after certain time, after each human experience and just then we can summarize and say that this is good or bad. Hence, I agree wih this statement, because, for example, just now a few centuries passed, especially after a lot of leadership samples in the world, we can to accept where good leadership was and where bad leadership was.
Of course, everyone have different experience, but for certain things, for example, climbing trees when we were a kids
We all have a worldview, a set of lenses used to view all of life and reality. Our individual
view on the world. We all live in the same world and are exposed to other cultures every day. If
“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.” (C.S. Lewis) Though culture does shape one's life, one's view of the world depends on how they interpret their culture.
How we view others and the world are influenced by many things, a major one being culture. When people think of culture, they often visualize how one grew up and what they came from, but it’s more that. Culture consistently informs the way a person views others and the world, among many other things.
The personal view can differ from all others, but it is the larger cultural worldview,
Everyone has some type of culture in some way that has shaped how they see the world. Either it being clothing, religion, or just everyday things; it has been affected in some type of manor. Some look at the world strictly through culture but others examine or pick and choose on certain objects. But overall culture has a very large impact on how one views the world around them.
There are many things that can influence a person’s perspective on the world; culture plays a huge part and in this
Although we can look at perception through a universal lens, there are some aspects that can only be explained by culture. Yes, it appears that all humans have the ability to perceive the world the same way. However, our language and culture does make a difference. For example, research has shown that while someone may be able to pick out the best focal
Have you ever viewed someone differently based on their culture? Or has someone´s culture ever informed you the way one views others and the world? In the following section there are three different aspects that can identify a person on how they see the world and others and they're going to change your perspective.
In all different types of world, people live unsimilar lifestyles and have basic norms that society follows. But regardless
The world is created out of oppositions, divisions and separations between the one and the Other. When people collide or meet, in that sense, in the meeting between different cultural backgrounds they tend to define the others by defining themselves. Jacque Derrida puts it in his essay Archive Fever: Freudian Impressions “every Other is every other Other, is altogether Other “(p.77). Alternatively, as Harper lee sets it clearly in her novel To Kill a Mockingbird “you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in It” (p.32)
When reflecting on my own leadership philosophy, it occurred to me that I had never purposefully outlined the qualities that I desire to demonstrate as a leader. Conversely, in the past, I have put a concentrated effort in deciding the leadership qualities that I hope to avoid. For example, I do not wish to be a micromanager. An organization can never grow larger than a micromanager can handle, thus limiting growth. When building my leadership philosophy I reflected on both leaders that I admire, and leaders that I have encountered whom I view as weak or toxic. The foundation of the leadership philosophy that I have developed for myself is; knowing my team members, utilizing the team’s strengths to accomplish the mission, and focusing on
Argue which leadership philosophy is most common from your perspective, McGregor's Theory X or McGregor's Theory Y?
As written in our textbooks the term worldview is defined as “the perception of the self, society and the world around us”, so on this very basis alone, I would say everyone in the world has a different worldview. Although two people may be very much alike and share similar opinions or outlooks, no people look at everything the same way. So many factors are involved in shaping our personalities and views including relationships, environment and culture, and even if two people grow up with the same people in the same place with the same society, they will always be different in some way. The way each individual perceives each and every detail of our lives is unique to that person; therefore there are innumerable differences between all human
Leadership, is it an art or a science? Perhaps leadership is best described as a conglomeration of knowledge, experience, and personal attributes that can be used to influence others (Bethel, 2011). While some people obviously possess characteristics commonly associated with strong leaders, not all is lost. Leadership is ever evolving and many aspects of effective leadership can be gained through experience and education. Leadership is a complex product that is a fundamental part of organizational triumph.
