Leadership and associated power issues lie at the core of group
life in a variety of contexts. Even the most informal of groups
typically have some form of leadership in their organization, and
the understanding of leadership and power from a psychological
standpoint can inform a greater understanding of group dynamics
both inside and outside of the workplace.
Leadership and Power is a synthesis of contributions from
eminent social psychologists and organizational scientists that
addresses these issues from a fresh perspective. In recent years,
these themes have been re-examined through the lens of social
categorization approaches that highlight people's social identity
and social roles as group members, as well as the processes that
influence perceptions of and expectations about people and groups.
The book is wide-ranging; chapters cover such diverse issues as:
interpersonal versus group-oriented styles of leadership;
leadership of totalist groups; political leadership; and gender and
leadership. It represents a state-of-the-art overview of this
burgeoning field that will be important to a host of
disciplines.
Elements of cross-referencing to highlight thematic links as
well as effective chapter conclusions will make the text appealing
to advanced students taking courses in social and organizational
psychology, management and organization studies, not just scholars
interested in these themes.
