Study Notes
Authentic Leadership
- Originates from the concept of "To thine own self to be true" from Shakespeare's Hamlet and "Know thyself" from Plato.
- Authenticity involves owning one's experiences, thoughts, emotions, needs, beliefs, and acting in alignment with one's true self.
- Authentic leaders are originals, not imitations of others.
- Defined as a leadership behavior pattern that promotes positive psychological capacities and ethical climate, fostering self-awareness, ethical principles, information processing, and relational transparency.
- Positive psychological capacities include hope, optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy.
- Self-awareness involves understanding and owning one's values, morals, and ethics.
- Internalized moral perspective refers to caring for followers, adhering to ethical standards, and using a moral compass to guide actions.
- Balanced processing encourages considering different perspectives during decision-making.
- Relational transparency involves being open and vulnerable with others, allowing them to get to know you.
- Authentic leaders also help followers develop these skills, aiming to cultivate authentic leadership.
- Authenticity exists on a continuum, with self-monitoring and emotional labor influencing its expression.
- Emotional labor can involve surface acting (faking emotions), deep acting (attempting to feel desired emotions), or genuine emotion.
Charismatic Leadership
- Roots in Aristotle's rhetoric, emphasizing trust and confidence built through pathos (emotional appeal), ethos (moral perspective), and logos (reasoned argument).
- Charisma was originally considered a "divine inspire gift."
- Max Weber first used the term "Charisma" to describe heroes, prophets, and saviors, such as Steve Jobs, JFK, and Obama.
- Weber identified five necessary conditions for charismatic leadership: extraordinary gifts, a crisis, a revolutionary solution, attracted followers, and repeated successes.
- The psychological theory of charismatic leadership (House, 1977) focuses on emotional interaction between leaders and followers, highlighting the role of persuasive skills, role modeling, and identification.
- Charisma is currently defined as values-based, symbolic, and emotion-laden leader signaling.
- Charisma is considered a learnable skill, with 12 "charismatic leadership tactics" (CLTs) identified.
- Nine CLTs are verbal, including metaphors, stories, contrasts, rhetorical questions, part lists, expressions of moral conviction, reflections of group sentiments, high goals, and conveying confidence in achieving those goals.
- Three CLTs are nonverbal: animated voice, facial expressions, and gestures.
Transformational Leadership
- Originates from James McGregor Burns, who defined it as a process where individuals engage with others to raise both leaders and followers to higher levels of motivation and morality.
- Transformational leadership encompasses four components: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration.
- Idealized influence, previously known as charisma, refers to the emotional element of transformational leadership, where leaders act as role models.
- Inspirational motivation involves motivating followers to achieve ambitious goals by communicating confidence in their ability to succeed, utilizing the Pygmalion effect.
- Intellectual stimulation focuses on problem awareness and solving, engaging followers' minds and experiences.
- Individualized consideration involves providing personalized attention and support to each follower, acting as a coach or mentor.
Transactional Leadership
- Based on economic rewards and exchanges, involving contingent rewards for desired behaviors.
- Seen as reasonably effective in motivating followers.
Shared Leadership
- Emerges within teams through the distribution of leadership influence across multiple team members.
Implicit Leadership Theories
- Preconceived notions about what teams expect from their leaders.
- Help followers determine a leader's worthiness of influence.
Servant Leadership
- Inspired by the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, emphasizing the principle of "servant first."
- It begins with a natural desire to serve, followed by a conscious choice to lead.
- Greenleaf's work (1977) focuses on the leader's role in meeting followers' needs and promoting their growth.
- It stresses the personal growth of followers and their potential to become servants themselves.
- Its goal is to create positive change in society by developing individuals who will contribute to that change.
