In the South African context leading multinational companies within mining, automotive, financial and other sectors are faced with the complexity of: uncertain political policies, fluid market dynamics, and market follower status in global relations. In addition, emerging markets are directly affected by capital and structural adjustments in first world economies, as currency flows direct to safe-haven markets under uncertainty. Thus, additional complexities of: currency fluctuations, energy cost increases, implied inflationary spikes, and pending recession become a reality, and have an enormous impact on how organisations manage within the unforeseen complexity that this brings to the local economy. As complex environmental factors beyond organisational boundaries and management's ability to predict and control, start impacting on an organisation's material capital flows, this uncertainty will drive leadership to review their current worldview. This researcher argues that this new worldview must be a shift away from a Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm, that through its cause-and-effect scientific base has modelled the world and its structures around a rigid linear approach, that cannot cope within the complexities exerted on the system. It is suggested therefore, by the researcher that the shift in leadership thinking should be towards a different paradigm, built on complexity based models using quantum Einsteinian-Quantum physics as a metaphor. The impact of this shift in paradigm, towards an Einsteinian-Quantum worldview, has an has an implicative effect for organisations in terms of; mental models, subsequent organisational design, the values that support this, the leadership behaviours that are a response to these value sets and the resultant directional quantum leap outcome within a multi-dimensional range of examples including; material (financial), social and spiritual capital aspects of the organisation. This research set out to review the paradigm shift between the Newtonian-Cartesian and Einsteinian-Quantum worldviews with respect to leadership within a South African context. To this end, the following research hypothesis was postulated: To use a quantum physics based worldview to: derive, deduce and validate a quantum leadership behavioural model and measurement instrument. Within the research process adopted, through a descriptive theory approach, using the paradigm shift model framework and an inductive method of enquiry the constructs for the QLM were defined, identified and stratified. From this process of enquiry a common paradigm shift alignment table was constructed to derive the constructs which formed the basis for the deduction of the QLM and QLQ. This model and questionnaire were then validated, through a normative theory approach, from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective, using inductive methods of enquiry. From the outcomes of this triangulated analysis, the findings were deduced and presented. Thus a QLM and QLQ were developed, satisfying the hypothesis of this thesis. In addition, through this thesis, a unique worldview of leadership is presented that, integrates perspectives from the quantum physical, social and management, and humanistic psychological sciences, into one holistic leadership model, that has a predictive nature on organisational outcomes.
