Rapid changes in the business environment are associated with development of managerial competencies and improvements of leadership within organisations.The topic of the article owes its relevance to the fact that leadership development is seen as an increasingly important strategic imperative of an organisation; moreover, in order to survive and succeed in the present day’s turbulent and highly competitive environment organisations need to develop leadership at all levels of the organisational structure. The research findings indicate that long-term success of New Leadership development initiatives depends on managerial competencies, two-way interaction between leaders and other members of the organisation, reciprocity and feedback.KEYWORDS: managerial competencies, leadership practices, New Leadership, 360-degree assessment.JEL CODES: M12, M19DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/rfds.v21i1.141
Vydūnas, Rytai ir krikščionybė: pastabos apie Vydūno religinės tapatybės formavimosi bei raiškos ypatumus
Get PDFThis article critically discuss and analize the predominant conception of Vydūnas as a representative of neovedantism. This predominant interpretation of Vydūnas religious identity was popularized by the most productive researcher of Vydūnas Vacys Bagdonavičius. Analysing methodological approach of V. Bagdonavičius and basing on hermeneutical view to fenomena of Vydūnas religious expression, it is indicated that the prime influence to Vydūnas religious identity formation was made by the junction and tension between Germanish liberal protestant theology and local, conservative ,,gathering crowd“ tradition, which impel Vydūnas to universal, confessionally neutral and sincretic interest for religions. Article reveals hypothesis, that Vydūnas creative- religious espression could be perceived as a development of basic liberal protestantic belief principles and its adaptation to concrete historical-cultural also political East Prussia lithuanians situation, in order to avoid confrontation between this two different religious traditions and politically consolidate nation.Key words: Vydūnas, religion, christianity, protestantism, neovedantism, East.doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/rh.v21i0.152
