For hundreds of years, different leadership theories have been
explored to try to explain exactly how and why certain people
become great leaders. Research spans a discussion of personality
traits, the characteristics of the situation at hand, and
qualifications of the leader to try to determine what causes people
to become more likely than others to take charge. This can be in
various settings: CEOs, presidents and prime ministers, managing
directors, governors, senators, head coaches, and more. Through the
examination of first-time leadership, new theories and ideas on
leadership are explored. The Handbook of Research on Innate
Leadership Characteristics and Examinations of Successful
First-Time Leaders is a comprehensive reference source that focuses
on what qualities distinguish first-time leadership from
traditional leaders, while furthering leadership theories that look
at other variables such as situational factors, knowledge base,
skill levels, etc. It reviews the various approaches used by
first-time leadership and how each of them uniquely approaches
effective leadership, key outcomes, and the strengths and
weaknesses of each approach. Furthermore, it distinguishes between
the traditional route for leadership, the gradual moving up of an
individual over time to higher positions, and a first-time
leadership in which an individual begins right away in a position
without climbing the professional ladder. This book will attempt to
draw lessons from existing first-time leadership experience and
provide evidence for the appropriateness of such a route to
leadership. Topics highlighted include transformational leadership,
political leaders, ethical and unethical leadership, and leadership
development. This book is ideal for young professionals, leaders,
executives, managers, graduate students, practitioners, government
officials, researchers, academicians, and students.
