A powerful force draws people to leadership in countless
businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and social
movements-we call it invisible leadership. Invisible leadership
embodies situations in which dedication to a compelling and deeply
held common purpose is the motivating force for leadership. Common
purpose is more than a mission statement. It is a profound sense of
common destiny, a life course or calling, aligned with a mission
that resonates profoundly with our values and our sense of
ourselves and others. This readable, research-based book shows
readers how invisible leadership exists in the space between
leaders and followers, artists and subjects, and purposes and
people. Rather than reinforcing the idea that leadership is
embodied in celebrity leaders or in gifted and charismatic
individuals, the well known and highly admired authors of this
insightful new book identify "charisma of purpose" as the
motivating force for invisible leadership. A brief discussion of
how invisible leadership impacts businesses, nonprofits, government
agencies, and social movements guides the reader toward an
understanding of the antecedents and possibilities of this way of
thinking.
Leadership Studies is a multi-disciplinary academic exploration of
the various aspects of how people get along, and how together they
get things done. The fields that contribute to leadership studies
include history, political science, psychology, anthropology,
sociology, philosophy, literature, and behavioral economics.
Leadership Studies is also about the ethical dimensions of human
behavior. The discipline considers what leadership has been in the
past (the historical view), what leadership actually looks like in
the present (principally from the perspectives of the behavioral
sciences and political science), and what leadership should be (the
ethical perspective). The SAGE Encyclopedia of Leadership Studies
will present both key concepts and research illuminating leadership
and many of the most important events in human history that reveal
the nuances of leadership, good and bad. Entries will include
topics such as power, charisma, identity, persuasion, personality,
social intelligence, gender, justice, unconscious conceptions of
leadership, leader-follower relationships, and moral
transformation.
