What is Leadership?

• Peter Drucker : "The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers."

• John C Maxwell : "leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less."

• John W. Gardner :Leadership is the process of persuasion and example by which an individual (or leadership team) induces a group to take action that is in accord with the leader’s purpose, or the shared purposes of all.”

• Imposing your will upon others

Popular view of Leadership

• Key people:– Drucker– Mintzberg

• Mostly studied as:– A necessary thing– A good thing– Separate from management– Something that can be learned

• Leaders as heroes– Born– Exceptional– Loved

The Leader as Hero

• Machiavelli “The Prince”– Classical Heroes (stoic, unemotional, male)– Renaissance Prince’s– The Great Man view of history

• Nietzsche's Superman– Will to Power– Slave / Master– Hated Christian morality

• Traits– Eg.– What about Martin Luther, Ghandi etc…– What about the context? (Stogdill, 1948)– Roots in aristocratic view of the world

Contingency Leadership

• Fiedler, Vroom, Hersey..– No best way to manage– Depends on leader and environment– Right person in the right place

• Contingent traits– Myers Briggs– Entrepreneurial / Innovative– Hierarchical / Authoritarian– Visionary / Charismatic

• But– People Change– Low Predictability– Based on positivism: weak ontology

(De)constructing Leadership

Page 13: Leadership OF  MBA @ BEC-DOMS

Constructing Leadership

• Leadership as a 20th century phenomenon– No books on leadership before 1900– Need to be led– The military metaphor: 3– Fits with the fetish of change (Grey)– e.g. women as leaders

• Leadership as story-telling– How I changed the world– The role of PR– Heroes to Villains (Enron)– The role of the Press

• Leadership as performance– Richard Branson

The Limits of Leadership

• Proving leadership– Cause and effect?– Could have done better?

• Limits on leadership– Resources– Shareholders– Law– Employees

Page 15: Leadership OF  MBA @ BEC-DOMS

Morality and Leadership

• What makes a good leader?– Vision– Securing followers– Achieving aims– Charisma

• Power– All leadership rests on power– Usually direct– Rarely charismatic
