Leadership: Past, Present, and Future – Day & Antonakis
Leadership has been a base of research for decades, which has resulted in a mass of contradicting
and unconfirming theories about it. Analogously, leadership researchers have struggled for most of
the last century to put together an integrated, theoretically cohesive view of the nature of
leadership, invariably leading to disappointment in those who attempted it.
However, the author’s accumulated knowledge now allows us to explain the nature (including the
biological bases) of leadership, its antecedents, and consequences with some degree of confidence.
What is leadership
Leadership is vital for effective organizational and societal functioning. Nonetheless, leadership is
often easy to identify in practice, but it is difficult to define precisely. Most people agree that
leadership can be defined in terms of a) and influencing process that occurs between a leader and
followers, b) how this influencing process is explained by the leader’s dispositional characteristics
and behavior, follower perception and attributes of the leader, and the context in which the
influencing process occurs.
→ this definition of leadership incorporates the most commonly used definitional features: the
leader as person (dispositional characteristics), leader behavior, the effects of a leader, the
interaction process between a leader and follower(s), and the importance of context
Also, the authors say that the ability to lead requires that one has power. Also, leadership is related
to management in the sense that it is purpose-driven action that brings about change or
transformation based on values, ideals, visions, symbols and emotional exchanges.
History of leadership research
Leadership was divided by the authors into 9 schools (theories) which they classified into two
dimensions: temporal (time period in which the school emerged) and productivity (the indicative
degree to which the school attracted research interest in a specific period of time).
