The incumbent the Film Censorship Institute (LSF) chairman faces a series of challenges inherited from predecessors, necessitating strategic changes to transform LSF into a significant institution characterized by a collective and collegial culture. Consequently, this research seeks to analyze chairman's communication approach and its impact on fostering a collaborative climate. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study utilizes the case study method. Data were gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and document analysis. Three resource persons participated in the FGD. The findings indicate that the leadership communication approach of the LSF chairman is participatory-democratic. The author contends that leaders play a crucial role in shaping and embodying organizational culture, emphasizing the establishment of a collective and collegial ethos. Leadership communication serves as a catalyst in instilling this culture, encompassing language, behavior, attitude, and character. These elements collectively contribute to fostering a climate of collaboration, as evidenced by programs and policies grounded in collaborative principles.
The Covid-19 pandemic has hit many sectors in the world. To mitigate the plague, many countries have formulated a social distancing policy. The pandemic compels us to foster the use of technology to carry out daily activities. A very few articles explain how technology alters the way leaders communicate. Therefore, the objective of this research is to examine whether technology has an impact on leader communication patterns using Adaptive Leadership and Technological Determinism Theory. This research uses qualitative approach with literature review and interview as a means to collect and analyze data. Based on the current trend, there are some changes in leader communication patterns. Also, the author found that there is a gap in the adoption of technology between leaders and members of the organization. While leaders are prepared to change mindset and embrace digital practices, members are not well-prepared. They struggle to adjust to the new work environment and feel overworked and exhausted. To embrace the digital working environment, leaders need to solve the gap. We argue that the gap between the leaders and members can be addressed by enhancing or improving the way leaders and members interact. This is because to become a leader, one should engage in communication. We propose some principles about new ways of communication during the New Normal.
