Southern leaders look to downstream benefits
Southern leaders look to downstream benefits
What makes a good leader? Are the desired qualities the same the world over and in every field? Those questions were at the heart of Emma Fieldhouse’s research as a 2017 IDRC Research Award Recipient. “There is a lack of clarity on how conceptions of leaders might differ across regions,” says Fieldhouse. “The perspective of Southern leaders is noticeably absent.”
Fieldhouse focused on four leadership development programs for young researchers in the Global South to learn about how they conceptualize leadership, how they integrate gender and equity considerations, and how they define and evaluate the successes of their programs. Program participants described what good leadership in their contexts meant to them, and the challenges they faced in getting there.
For programs and participants, becoming a leader wasn’t seen as an end in itself, but as a means of achieving downstream positive effects on institutions and communities. For example, Emma found that women taking part in one program faced great challenges in being accepted as leaders in their communities, “yet they were so determined to persevere and succeed so they could make life better for others.”
Fieldhouse learned that emerging leaders in the South overwhelmingly believe that interpersonal skills are the most essential leadership elements, even in the realm of research. That includes collaboration, building trust, empathy, and nurturing other leaders. “Knowing this is important in order to assess success, because if we get this wrong, we could be evaluating things that don’t really matter, or we could be further marginalizing perspectives and experiences that should matter,” she says.

Entrepreneurship draws Southeast Asia’s youth
Entrepreneurship draws Southeast Asia’s youth
Jonathan De LucaResearch Awards2017“The top priority for youth in Myanmar and Vietnam isn’t a high salary,” says Jonathan de Luca, 2017 IDRC Research Award Recipient. “It’s adequate health, being able to spend time with family, and to develop and use skills.”
This finding suggests that policymakers and business leaders don’t understand the needs of young
women and men, he says. “Interviews with policymakers and business leaders show that they believe that providing better paying work is sufficient.”
De Luca’s research focused on youth livelihoods in medium-sized cities of the Greater Mekong sub-region. “Dawei in Myanmar and Quy Nhon in Vietnam are experiencing rapid economic development as a result of export-oriented industrialization and manufacturing,” he says. Despite the steady jobs this industrialization creates, he found that young people are much more interested in self-employment because of the freedom and autonomy it affords them.
De Luca confesses that “I really had no idea how everything would come together until a month into the analysis phase where I took a step back and thought “Ah-hah! This actually is telling a really interesting story!”
“I can’t forget that my research exists only because there were young people in Vietnam and Myanmar who wanted to talk to me about the issues that affect them and tell me about their aspirations and hopes for life and work in the future,” he says. “I not only owe it to them for helping me to complete my research, but I also owe it to them to have my work contribute to some change in this world.”
“So even though my year at IDRC is over, I’m going to take this research with me and try and help it to influence something in some way.”
