“…Dealtry (2001, p. 119) argues that it is the quality of overall intellectual performance and the quality and quantity of mental rather than physical energy that redefines activity potential and competitive reality of the activity entity. Researchers see the phenomenon of intellectual leadership as the scope of challenging processes, for example, ensuring, critiquing, questioning, generating (Stevenson, 2012), envisioning, advocating, encouraging, re-imagining (Roy et al, 2008), managing, achieving, evaluating, acting, and providing (Dealtry, 2001). In these explanations are the general unifying components: ideas, values, understandings, and solutions (Stevenson, 2012), beliefs and visions (Roy et al, 2008), knowledge, approaches, purpose, and actions (Dealtry, 2001).…”

Introduction: The search for solutions to the issue of leadership leads to hundreds of leadership studies, most of which are contradictory and inconclusive. The scientific literature on leadership in higher education is focused mainly on educational, academic, managerial or thought leadership. This literature provides the opinion that the intellectual leadership in higher education is directed towards building social and intellectual capital through a scholar’s involvement in decision-making and performance of leadership roles in ways that support the scholar’s collaborative decision-making and empowerment. Scholars see intellectual leadership as the scope of challenging processes, which incorporate ideas, values, understandings, solutions, beliefs, visions, knowledge, approaches, purpose and actions. These aspects must be accepted through collectively-shared understanding and generated contextually for organizational development in higher education. With growth in administrative demands, it becomes difficult for intellectual leaders to achieve an appropriate balance of leadership, teaching and research in higher education.Purpose: To explore and describe the conceptual contents of intellectual leadership and academic leadership by providing their similarities and differences.Methods: In the research, a descriptive literature review (Yang & Tate, 2012) was applied. The sample was mainly based on academic publications; the articles included are all refereed journal articles.Conclusions: The literature review covered wide range of aspects, which reveal that intellectual leadership consists of roles that have several orientations, but the intellectual leadership is not related to the formal administrational or managerial positions. The roles of a scholar in relation to the concept of “intellectual leadership” maybe seen through the following activity spheres: mentor represents educational sphere, guardian – moral sphere, enabler – managerial and administrative spheres, and ambassador – political and communication sphere (Zydziunaite, 2016). The importance of personal characteristics and academic achievements in the formation of intellectual leaders’ reputation is also highlighted in the article. Despite the limitations of definitions on intellectual leadership it is argued that this concept is related to the organic personality of an intellectual leader (scholar) who acts as organizer of ideas, carries responsibility for academic development and direction in higher education.

“…The construct of the tool was based on the conception of Macfarlane (2011, 2012) on 'Intellectual Leadership in Higher Education'. The conceptual framework was enriched by publications of Dealtry (2001), Rowley & Sherman (2003), Yielder & Codling (2004), Blackmore & Blackwell (2006), Roy et al (2008), Tseng et al (2010), Stevenson (2012).

Scientists as intellectual leaders are seen through their expertise and the scope of knowledge. The research issue in this pilot study was related to scientists‘ working in higher education schools and focused on intellectual leadership, which consists of different roles. The participants of the pilot study were researchers with acquired PhD. Data collection were accomplished by implementing the questioning survey from 2015-06-02 to 2015-06-30. In total 138 respondents filled in the instrument, but for data analysis were suitable 131 instrument. For data analysis were applied descriptive statistics, correlation analysis (Spearman), ANOVA, and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated. Findings showed that the roles of the advocate and critic for researchers from social sciences were more worth than for researchers from other research areas. The lowest assessments were related to the role of the mentor nevertheless of the scientist’s research area. Results revealed that more experienced scientists in higher education area more value the roles of academic citizen and public intellectual. The roles of ambassador, critic, advocate were assessed more positively by scientists one of whose parents was educated in higher education school. Intellectual leadership of a scientist in higher education is about everyday learning. The particular roles of a scientist are not in position of status quo. The core messages from this pilot study are the following: scientists from social research area see more complex their roles in higher education school; work experience of the scientist in higher education and the completed higher education of scientist’s parents matter.

Slum upgrading in the era of World-Class city construction: the case of Lagos, Nigeria

The paper examines the tensions that accompany slum upgrading in the era of worldclass city construction. The focus is a slum upgrading project in Lagos, Nigeria. The paper observes the intertwining of modernist and neoliberal ideologies in world-class city construction and in slum upgrading projects. The entanglement centres on a number of shared interests; the prioritization of infrastructure and notions about urban space, participation and citizenship. As documented, the project and by extension world-class city construction fails to acknowledge the livelihoods of the poor and is undermined by protests. Historical legacies and systemic failings of governance present additional obstacles. The paper seeks to broaden the scope of world-class city research by acknowledging the local context, but at the same time recognizing the global links. Along these lines, the paper suggests that slum upgrading provides an opportunity to examine how the local is inserted into the global.
