Leadership, Position, and Power
The language of leadership is a challenge for some to understand. It reflects our personal experiences, goals, culture, and environment. What is native tongue for some is a foreign language to others. As you explore with each other this week, leadership power can be a useful tool or an intoxicating drug. Power is a continuum. Improper balance in either direction results in ineffective leadership, disengaged followers, and precious lost time.
Pierro, Raven, Amato, and Bélanger (2013) found empirical evidence that followers of a transformational leader are more willing to comply with soft power bases, and this leadership style also increases an employee's organizational commitment. Do you share a similar philosophy?
