A New Evaluation Paradigm for Organizational Leaders Under High-Quality Development

The BIBS School of Management is delighted to highlight the publication of an impactful research article by Yunfeng Bu, Associate Researcher at BIBS, alongside Zhangxi Huang (Jiangxi Guoxuan New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.) and Jianqin Guo (Xidian University).

Published in the Chinese journal Enterprise Reform and Management, their study, “Research on a New Evaluation Paradigm for Organizational Leaders under the Background of High-Quality Development”, presents an innovative framework addressing the evolving challenges of organizational leadership in China’s high-quality development era.

As the global economy undergoes unprecedented changes, Chinese enterprises face unique challenges, including inefficiencies, competitiveness gaps, and inconsistent leadership performance. These hurdles hinder the alignment of human resources management with the nation’s high-quality development goals.

Using Jiangxi Guoxuan New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. as a case study, the researchers explored the application of leadership, human resources, and innovation theories to reimagine how organizational leaders are evaluated.

The “Five-Dimensions Evaluation Paradigm”
The study introduces a comprehensive and practical model, the “Five-Dimensions Evaluation Paradigm”, designed to align leadership evaluation with the demands of high-quality development. The five dimensions are:

1. Top-Level Thinking: Leaders with a strategic and visionary mindset are better equipped to navigate complex challenges and drive organizational growth.
2. Full-Scale Commitment: High-performing leaders demonstrate unwavering dedication, energy, and focus on achieving organizational objectives.
3. Boundary-Breaking Courage: Boldness and risk-taking are essential for driving innovation and challenging conventional norms.
4. Elevated Poise: Leaders with adaptability and a forward-looking attitude can effectively address dynamic market conditions and organizational needs.
5. Boundary-Less Perspective: Open-mindedness and inclusivity allow leaders to foster collaboration and capitalize on diverse perspectives.
