on those led and induce obedience, respect, loyalty, and cooperation”
(Moore, 1927, p. 124).

 Chapter 1: Introduction
1950s

Leadership defined:
Three themes dominated leadership definitions during the 1950s
 Continuance of group theory, which framed leadership as what leaders
do in groups
 Leadership as a relationship that develops shared goals, which defined
leadership based on behavior of the leader; and
 Effectiveness, in which leadership was defined by the ability to influence
overall group effectiveness.

 Chapter 1: Introduction
1960s

Leadership defined:

Leadership as behavior that influences people toward shared goals

shared direction (Seeman, 1960)

 Chapter 1: Introduction
1970s
Leadership defined:
In the 1970s, the group focus gave way to the organizational behavior
approach, Leadership was defined:
 Burns (1978): Leadership is the reciprocal process of mobilizing by
persons with certain motives and values, various economic, political, and
other resources, in a context of competition and conflict, in order to
realize goals independently or mutually held by both leaders and
followers
21/08/2024 707048 - Chapter 1: Introduction 22
 Chapter 1: Introduction
1980s
The number of definitions for leadership became a prolific stew with several persevering themes
 Do as the leader wishes. Leadership definitions still predominantly delivered the message that
leadership is getting followers to do what the leader wants done
 Influence. In an effort to distinguish leadership from management, however, scholars insisted that
leadership is noncoercive influence
 Traits. The leadership-as-excellence movement brought leader traits back to the spotlight. As a result,
many people’s understanding of leadership is based on a trait orientation.
 Transformation. Burns (1978) is credited for initiating a movement defining leadership as a
transformational process, stating that leadership occurs “when on or more persons engage with others
in such a way that leaders and followers 707048

one other to higher levels of motivation and morality”

Servant leadership: which puts the leader in the role of a servant who utilizes
“caring principles” focusing on followers’ needs to help followers become more
autonomous, knowledgeable, and like servants themselves (Graham, 1991);

Followership: which puts a spotlight on followers and the role they play in the
leadership process (Hollander, 1992);

Adaptive leadership: in which leaders encourage followers to adapt by

confronting and solving problems, challenges, and changes (Heifetz, 1994).

their personal actions and interpersonal relationships, and the promotion of such
conduct to followers (Brown, Treviño, & Harrison, 2005);

21/08/2024 707048 - Chapter 1: Introduction 25

 Chapter 1: Introduction
The 21st Century
Discursive leadership: which posits that leadership is created not so much
through leader traits, skills, and behaviors, but through communication practices
that are negotiated between leader and follower (Aritz, Walker, Cardon, & Zhang,
2017; Fairhurst, 2007);

Humble leadership: in which leaders’ humility allows them to show followers

how to grow as a result of work (Owens & Hekman, 2012);

Inclusive leadership: which focuses on diversity and leader behaviors that

facilitate followers’ feeling of belongingness to the group while maintaining their
individuality
