  • The historic emergence of intersectional leadership: Maggie Lena Walker and the Independent Order of St. Luke

    Open Access•Caleb Lugar, Shennette Garrett-Scott et al.•ARTICLE•Leadership•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 20

    Maggie Lena Walker arose from humble beginnings as the daughter of an ex-slave to become a prominent banker, entrepreneur, and community leader in the American state of Virginia in the early 1900s. She was the first African American woman in the United States to establish and lead a bank. In addition, Walker played a principal leadership role in a major African American mutual aid social service organization: the Independent Order of St. Luke. In…

  • When Things Go From Bad to Worse: The Impact of Relative Contextual Extremity on Benjamin Montgomery’s Positive Leadership and Psychological Capital

    Open Access•John E Baur, Jeffrey J Haynie et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Leadership &…•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 35

    Drawing from positive organizational behavior, psychological capital has been shown to be a beneficial resource allowing leaders to remain positive and future-oriented. While having hope, optimism, confidence, and resilience are particularly effective in periods of great risk and uncertainty, extreme environments likely affect leaders’ psychological capital, as evidenced by changes to these comprising factors. Answering several recent calls for h…

  • Both loved and despised: Uncovering a process of collective contestation in leadership identification

    Open Access•Milorad M Novičević, David R Marshall et al.•ARTICLE•Organization•2018•Cited by: 7•References: 6

    Our critical examination of James Meredith’s leadership during the racial integration of higher education in the early 1960s reveals an important, missing companion to social endorsement in the leadership construction process: social contestation. Through the lens of moral conviction theory and using a combined ANTi-History/Microhistorical method, we analyzed over 250 letters written to James Meredith by opponents undergoing a process of social i…

  • Making history happen: A genealogical analysis of Colt’s rhetorical history

    Stephen Poor, Milorad M Novičević et al.•ARTICLE•Management & Organizational History•2016•Cited by: 2•References: 18

    The rugged and individualistic reputation of Samuel Colt and the Colt Company is the stuff of legend in the American psyche. Largely constructed from themes aligned with American exceptionalism and the taming of the Western frontier, this firearm maker built a powerful and pervasive image. In this study, we examine how the Colt Company used rhetorical history in an agentic, proactive way to appropriate history and tradition for strategic purposes…

  • Collective leadership as institutional work: Interpreting evidence from Mound Bayou

    Open Access•Milorad M Novičević, John H Humphreys et al.•ARTICLE•Leadership•2016•Cited by: 3•References: 16

    In this article, we refine and extend the conceptualization of collective leadership by examining how institutional work can play a central role in the emergence of collective leadership success or failure through conflict. Specifically, based on historical traces collected from the first African American town in Mississippi, Mound Bayou, which was founded and led by a group of ex-slaves, we conceptualize collective leadership as a compilational …

  • The collective endorsement of James Meredith: Initiating a leader identity construction process

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, Milorad M Novičević et al.•ARTICLE•Human Relations•2015•Cited by: 16•References: 94

    DeRue and Ashford (2010) proposed a social process of leadership identity construction, asserting that leadership identity is co-constructed by way of claims and grants of leader and follower identities. In addition, these authors suggested that the collective endorsement of the broader social context might serve as a catalyst to initiate the leader identity construction process. As a result, they called for qualitative studies to further develop…

  • Integrating Libertarian Paternalism Into Paternalistic Leadership: The Choice Architecture of H. J. Heinz

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, Brandon Randolph-Seng et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Leadership &…•2014•Cited by: 6•References: 15

    Extant theory suggests that paternalistic leadership is not a unified construct and that benevolent paternalistic and exploitative paternalistic leader styles are independent. However, this representation ignores the emerging concept of libertarian paternalism. In order to explore this prospective style of leader paternalism, we performed a historiographically informed examination of prominent paternal capitalists from the era of industrial pater…

  • Towards the augmenting role of authenticity: Xenophon as leadership theorist

    John H Humphreys, Wallace A Williams et al.•ARTICLE•Management & Organizational History•2011•Cited by: 1•References: 31

    The current literature is replete with calls for greater discernment of more positive forms of leadership. In particular, leader authenticity has been proposed as a significant predictor of follower satisfaction and performance and proponents have suggested researchers attempt to theoretically integrate the construct of authentic leadership with other related leadership literatures. While theoretical advances are critical to the discipline, manag…

  • Lillian McMurry of Trumpet Records: Integrity and Authenticity in the Charismatic, Constructive Narcissist Leader

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, Stephanie Pane Haden et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Leadership &…•2010•Cited by: 6•References: 22

    Although the emerging construct of authentic leadership has received considerable attention recently, there are still diverse and competing theoretical perspectives. Common with nascent theory, many have suggested that researchers attempt to craft expanded and more nuanced conceptions of current and potential components, antecedents, and outcomes associated with the conduct and attribution of leader authenticity. Although such theoretical advance…

  • Adapting the congruent temperament model with culturally specific work motivation elements

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, John Humphreys•ARTICLE•Cross Cultural Management An…•2007

    Purpose Although China is beginning to emerge on the world economic stage, many Chinese workers are newcomers to the Western notions of leadership. Those examining leader behavior and follower motivations should consider unique traditions that influence the motivation process in other cultural settings. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue. Design/methodology/approach The approach is the theoretical adaptation of the congruent tempe…

  • Leadership and Temperament Congruence: Extending the Expectancy Model of Work Motivation

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, Walter O Einstein•ARTICLE•Journal of Leadership &…•2004•Cited by: 1•References: 28

    We integrate theory and research from disparate areas to develop a comprehensive expectancy model of work motivation. Within our model, we: (1) consolidate the motivation, leadership, and personality literatures; (2) effectively incorporate the self-concept and personalities of leaders and followers; (3) provide an expanded view of the dynamics surrounding the concept of effort; (4) specify dyadic temperament congruence as a critical source of go…

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, John Humphreys et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeologia•1925

    The further examination of the site in the meadow at Bidford-on-Avon, belonging to the Bidford Co-operative Society, and the adjoining garden, the property of the Stratford-on-Avon Brewery Company, was carefully carried out during the summer of 1923. The survey plan (pl. LIX) made by Mr. Wellstood shows the direction of the trenches, and the position of each interment

  • VIII.— Elizabethan Sheldon Tapestries

    Open Access•John H Humphreys, John Humphreys•ARTICLE•Archaeologia•1925

    For many centuries, though a good many tapestries were woven in France, Flanders was the chief centre of the industry, and supplied the various European countries with tapestries and hangings of a similar character. Cloths of Arras were in demand for English country houses, and large purchases were made from time to time by the richer nobles. It was, however, at the beginning of the sixteenth century that tapestries came increasingly into demand …

    In June 1921, during the cutting of a new road in the village of Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, various articles were brought to light indicating an Anglo-Saxon cemetery. The excavation took place on a site at the back of the High Street, on the north side, in a gravel plateau about 100 yds. from the present bank of the river Avon, 150 yds. from the Roman Rycknild Street, and 200 yds. from the old ford, which lies to the east of the church.
