Journal The Nature of Leadership, Second Edition
Research Type Meta-analysis
Introduction Leadership can be defined in terms of (a) an influencing process—and its resultant
outcomes—that occurs between a leader and followers and (b) how this influencing
process is explained by the leader’s dispositional characteristics and behaviors, follower
perceptions and attributions of the leader, and the context in which the influencing
process occurs.
Schools Trait School: Suggested that certain dispositional characteristics (i.e., stable personality
attributes or traits) differentiated leaders from non-leaders. Thus, leaders were born.
Behavioral School: When there was no consistent evidence of a universally preferred
leadership style across tasks or situations, it was proposed that success of the leader’s
behavioral style must be contingent on the situation.
Contingency School: It all depends: Fiedler’s model states leader–member relations, task
structure, and position power determine the effectiveness of the leadership exercised.
Relational School: Relationships between leaders and followers. LMX theory: Describes the
nature of the relations between leaders and their followers.
Skeptics-of-Leadership School: The validity of questionnaire ratings of leadership was
criticized as likely biased by the implicit leadership theories of those providing the ratings.
Information-Processing School: The understanding of how and why a leader is legitimized
through the process of matching his or her personal characteristics with the prototypical
expectations that followers have of a leader (cognition).
New Leadership School: Reignition of leadership research. Transformational leadership: In
Idealizing and inspiring leader behaviors induced followers to transcend their interests for
that of the greater good. Transformational and charismatic leadership > “Neo-charismatic”
Biological and Why certain variables might provide an evolutionary advantage to an organism. It
Evolutionary investigates the behavioral genetics of leadership emergence to leadership role occupancy,
in men and women, hormones on correlates of leadership, neuroscientific perspectives of
leadership, evolutionary points of view, as well as integrative biological perspectives.
Emerging Contextual School: Contextual factors are seen to give rise to or inhibit certain leadership
issues behaviors or their dispositional antecedents and understanding these is necessary for
advancing a more general understanding of leadership. Leadership does not occur in a
vacuum, and context and leadership appear to be intertwined.
Ethics: The ethics of leadership and a leader’s level of moral development are increasingly
becoming essential elements of leadership research and theory.
Diversity: The diversity of leaders and followers in terms of culture, gender, race and
ethnicity, or sexual orientation has been infrequently addressed.
